Families from across the district came together for our ESL Spring Family Night and celebrated in an “Out of This World” way! Students and families had the chance to connect with one another, explore crafts and activities inspired by cultures from around the world, and learn the meaning behind each tradition. Our high school ESL students also volunteered throughout the evening, helping families at each station and making the event even more special. It was wonderful to see them giving back and connecting with younger students.
The evening was filled with music, laughter, pizza, ice cream, and unforgettable memories as we celebrated the diversity that makes our schools so special. #WilsonSD

In February, Mrs. Hemphill’s 3rd graders showed interest in learning more about the 2026 Winter Olympics! This inspired the creation of a cross-curricular mini research unit integrating reading, writing, social studies, and science concepts. Under the guidance of Kutztown student teacher Miss Molly Furman and Mrs. Hemphill, students worked collaboratively in small groups to explore a variety of subtopics related to six Olympic sports. As a culmination of their learning, students created a class book featuring their research and original illustrations. They recently celebrated with their 1st grade book buddies in Mrs. Detweiler’s class the accomplishment of having their book PUBLISHED! #WilsonSD
First and Second grade students at Shiloh Hills and Third grade students Conrwall Terrace were excited to be part of discoverED 2026! This statewide virtual design challenge, led by Fox Chapel Area School District, kicks off Remake Learning Days (May 1–23, 2026)—a celebration of hands-on learning for students and families across Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday, May 5, students collaborated virtually with peers from schools across the state to design and build hoop gliders inspired by the flight of a flying squirrel. In preparation for this challenge, students explored biomimicry and aerodynamics in Discovery class, learning how nature—like flying squirrels—inspires innovative design and how objects move through the air. Through this engaging STEAM experience, students were able to connect, create, and discover how collaboration and creativity can take learning to new heights! #WilsonSD

ESL students at Cornwall Terrace took learning beyond the classroom and into action this week as they proudly hosted their school’s first Pulsera Project sale! 🌎💛
The Pulsera Project is a nonprofit organization that partners with artisans in Central American countries like Guatemala and Nicaragua. These artisans handcraft colorful bracelets, called “pulseras,” and send them to schools in the U.S. for students to sell. The money raised goes directly back to these communities to support fair wages, education, healthcare, housing, and environmental initiatives.
Students worked hard to prepare, organize, and run the sale. Through this experience, they built communication and leadership skills while also learning the importance of empathy and global citizenship. Thank you to everyone who supported this meaningful cause! #WilsonSD

Second graders from Cornwall Terrace recently had an exciting opportunity to dive into the world of insects with a local entomologist from Berks Nature, kicking off their new nonfiction reading unit. This engaging, hands-on experience sparked curiosity and enthusiasm as students explored the fascinating lives of bugs.

Last weekend, students from across Berks County in grades 7–9 participated in a marvelous showcase of band, orchestra, and choral performances at the 2026 Music Educators of Berks County Junior County Festival. Earning their prestigious spots through auditions this winter, these young musicians prepared for the event in just two rehearsals.
This year’s event was held at Muhlenberg High School and featured participants from a dozen schools across the county. The Wilson School District was well represented, with twenty-one singers, sixteen orchestra members, and thirteen band members—several of whom performed in multiple ensembles.
While the students took on the challenge of preparing their music, special gratitude goes to the music teachers and families who support these young musicians in their endeavors! #WilsonSD
