Southern’s 7th and 8th grader students in Nature Club took their learning outdoors for a habitat exploration right on our school grounds, guided by guest educators from Nolde State Forest.

Students in Spring Ridge’s Intermediate Autistic Support class took part in a fun, hands-on pumpkin exploration activity! The students got to touch the outside of the pumpkin, knock to hear its sound, and feel its texture before scooping out the insides and exploring even more. It was a great way to engage their senses and celebrate learning through discovery! #WilsonSD

Wilson Theater Company presents The Play That Goes Wrong!

A delightfully disastrous comedy play, The Play That Goes Wrong follows the Cornley University Drama Society as they attempt to stage a 1920s murder mystery.  Everything spirals hilariously out of control, as the accident-prone cast and crew struggle to make it to the final curtain call.  Audiences will be treated to a whirlwind of slapstick humor and perfectly timed chaos. This laugh-out-loud farce is a must-see for fans of Monty Python and Noises Off, and good for audiences age 10 and up!
