SNAPSHOTS OF THE WEEK!! : This week students enjoyed a field trip to AJ's Pumpkin Patch, Art on the Loft, and NOAA. On Friday the power went out during our PAWS Assembly and we continued on with our day. The students enjoyed working in the daylight. Next week the school lunches will be choices from Wilson's 4th and 5th graders. They wrote letters to Mrs. Val of what they would like to see for lunches and she was able to honor the requests besides the Filet Mignon, Sushi, and Venison. Thank You Ms. Val you are AWESOME!

Emergency Drills
Michigan State law requires a school to schedule five fire drills, two tornado drills, and three school safety/security drills (e.g., lockdown, shelter in place, etc.). These drills will occur throughout the school year. We will be having drills starting this week. Please discuss with your child the importance of following all safety procedures and protocols as we participate in these very important drills. We practiced a fire drill and tornado drill this week at Wilson.
