January is National Braille Literacy Month! At Wilson, four students are learning braille, the six-dot code created by Louis Braille that opens the door to reading, writing, and learning.

Before Winter break began, our 9th-grade Algebra 1 ISTEM students worked in teams to design and build a 3D physical model of the Mars surface using real elevation data. Students applied algebraic concepts such as slope, distance, and linear equations while integrating engineering design, scientific research, CAD modeling, CNC routing, and 3D printing.

This collaborative project was led by Mr. Wallence, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Howard, bringing together math, science, and engineering in an authentic learning experience. As part of the science integration, Mr. Bright enhanced the project by incorporating the StarLab, allowing students to explore planetary motion, space science, and Mars’ position in our solar system, further deepening their understanding of space exploration.

Together, this project encouraged students to think critically and creatively as engineers and scientists while demonstrating how mathematics connects to real-world applications and future exploration beyond Earth! #WilsonSD

The Winter Music Extravaganza and Talent Show made its exciting debut and is sure to become an annual Southern tradition. From tumbling to Tchaikovsky and chamber groups to cheer, students enjoyed a school-wide assembly featuring select music ensembles including The Southern Sinfonietta, Jazz Band, and Select Chorus, along with auditioned Talent Show performances from all three grade levels. The program showcased an impressive variety of talent, from choral numbers and colorguard to duets, dance, comedy, and even pointe choreography. It was a wonderful way to come together as a school community, celebrating the dedication and hard work of our performers as we head into Winter Break. Even the faculty joined in on the fun - check out the last picture to see what the teachers did! #WilsonSD
