A huge thank you to the JJ Watt Foundation for their donation which provided beautiful new uniforms for our Wilson Middle School volleyball team! 🏐

🎿 Our middle schoolers hit the slopes this winter! Thanks to the White Pass Ski Foundation and UW GEAR UP, 15 students each from Franklin, Lewis & Clark, Washington, and Wilson Middle Schools learned to ski through the Learn to Ski Program. Beyond new skills, they built confidence, resilience, and lasting friendships. Grateful for community partnerships that create unforgettable learning experiences!

🖼️ Artists exemplify the spirit of collaboration at Wilson! Students in Amy Thorpe's classroom came together to create a visual example of YSD's March Character Word of the Month: "Collaboration."

The artwork was created from 25 individual panels by projecting Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers" painting with a grid overlay. 🌻🧩 Students and adults used oil pastels to color the panels, which were randomly assigned – some students created multiple panels! 🎭🎨 Colors were chosen to match the original painting. The finished panels were mounted onto a wooden backboard, resulting in a beautiful display! ✨🖌️

Great job to our talented artists for exemplifying the spirit of collaboration – Jayden, Anthony, Carter, Ruben, Michael, and Logan! 🌟👏

Thank you to all of the adults who helped with this project: Louis Araiza, Justin Ashman, Tracey Kinter, Angelica Lovely, Amy Thorpe, and Melissa Wilson. 🙌❤️

A special thanks to Mr. Ream, a CTE teacher at Davis High School, for cutting the backboard! 🔨🪚🙏
