Our staff gives back to their students! The Wilmington Schools Foundation presented a $21,500 check for 22 Foundation grants at the January 22nd BOE mtg! This year, the Giving is Family Tradition campaign raised $14,000 and increased payroll give to 141 WCS employees.

In this year's campaign,  Wilmington Middle School, East End, and Denver Place staff gave at 99 percent. These funds are used to help provide Foundation grants, in combination with private donations, grants and fundraisers. Every Wilmington Middle School student will be able to go this year on an off-campus field trip. Wilmington High School government classes will be traveling to the Capitol Building in Columbus. And elementary students will enjoy an in-school experience from the Cincinnati Children's Theater.  

The Foundation has also announced that the three elementary schools and ROBMS students will once again be selling Savings Pass Cards from January 25 through February 6. Find your favorite student and help support the foundation, as well as the local businesses. This year they have 19 businesses offering great one-time deals and unlimited deals. If you see something you really like, buy several cards! Each card cost only $10. Every card sold earns the WSF $5.00. 

Thank you in advance for your support of the students of Wilmington City Schools!

Have you heard? We launched our annual One School One Book event in all three elementary buildings this week! We are well underway in our reading of Flora's adventures and getting to know her and the other characters in the book. 

We're including a link to a nightly reading guide, if you and your family would like to follow along. Students can certainly read ahead! Each day at school students will be asked trivia questions about the previous night's reading and win prizes.
