Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.  It's not. 
Dr. Seuss
Now, more than ever, Volunteers will play a vital
part in the success of Wilson Elementary. As you
can see, there are many opportunities to get
involved. Please check all projects that you may
have an interest in. Our expectation is not for
you to organize or help with every one you check,
but we would love to know where you might be able
to help!
