During a recent assembly Dr. Trapnell and several of his employees educated Wilson students on the importance of proper oral hygiene.  Students learned that healthy teeth don’t just give you a good looking smile, but help you speak clearly as well.  The students enjoyed several demonstrations; at the end of the demonstration students were asked questions. Three students won a sonicare toothbrush. The rest of the students received a toothbrush and toothpaste to help them remember to take care of their teeth.  The faculty and students wish to than Dr.

Take a walk down the fourth-grade hall at Wilson Elementary, and you’ll feel like your walking through a maze of paper zombies. This is all part of a writing project where students relate a story behind a scar they have somewhere on their bodies. As you can imagine the students have been very excited to include every gory detail.  This gives students something real to write about, making the writing experience very personal!
