Wilson Elementary, School District of Janesville

What a year in P4J! Our students worked so hard this year and are officially ready to begin their 2026–2027 school year as Kindergarteners! Mrs. Dunk, Mrs. Cartwright, and Mrs. Sanders are incredibly proud of all you have accomplished and the growth you have shown throughout the year.

We hope you have a wonderful summer filled with fun, laughter, and great memories. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do in Kindergarten! 💜☀️📚🎉

As we entered the last day of the 2025–2026 school year, Willie the Wildcat decided it was time for a celebration! Before school started, Willie kicked off the morning with a dance party and then made special visits to classrooms throughout the building. It was a fun way to celebrate an amazing year and share some final smiles, high-fives, and memories with our Wildcats before summer break. Have a fantastic summer, Wildcats! 💜🐾

🐾💜 Wildcats, what an amazing 2025–2026 school year! We are so thankful for the hard work and dedication our students showed throughout the year. A huge thank you to the incredible staff at Wilson who worked tirelessly to support our students’ success and assist our families whenever needed.

We also want to thank our wonderful families for your support, partnership, and encouragement throughout the year. Your involvement makes a difference!

We hope you have a summer filled with fun, relaxation, and wonderful memories. Enjoy this well-deserved break, and we’ll see you back at Wilson in August! 💜☀️🐾

Our youngest Wildcats wrapped up their 2025–2026 school year today! 💜

To say that Mrs. Morwood and Ms. Jenna are unbelievably proud of the growth these Early Childhood students have shown this year would be an understatement. These Wildcats kept them on their toes, filled their days with laughter, and completely melted their hearts. 💜

Thank you for an amazing year full of learning, growth, and memorable moments. We hope our Early Childhood Wildcats have a wonderful summer, and we can’t wait to see their smiling faces back in the hallways next year! ☀️🐾

Wilson students and staff were excited to visit Mrs. Koel in the library one last time before her retirement.

Mrs. Koel has shared her love of reading and learning with countless Wildcats over the years, and her impact will be felt for generations to come. Thank you for your dedication, kindness, and commitment to our students.

We wish you all the best in retirement, Mrs. Koel! Enjoy this exciting new chapter—you have certainly earned it! 📚😎❤️

Today’s spirit day was V for Vacation Day, and Mrs. Larson and Ms. Cook’s classes were ready for an adventure! Their classrooms transformed into a magical Disney vacation destination, where students had fun imagining they were traveling through some of their favorite Disney experiences. The day was filled with excitement, creativity, and plenty of smiles as everyone enjoyed their Disney-themed vacation adventure together. ✨🏰🌴✈️

Today, Wilson Elementary School held an all-school assembly celebrating America’s 250th birthday. Mrs. Riley and Mrs. Wright helped lead the Wildcats in this special event as students came together to sing The Star-Spangled Banner, Lift Every Voice and Sing, and All-American Me and You.

The celebration also featured a collaborative art piece created with thumbprints from Janesville elementary students. The artwork was highlighted in a video message from Janesville School District Superintendent Dr. Mark Holzman, making the event even more memorable for our Wildcats.

It was a wonderful opportunity for students to come together, celebrate our nation’s history, and show their school spirit and pride. 🇺🇸🐾🎉
