Middle School Art on Display

We have talented students at Wilmington Middle School!  A number of students had their artwork chosen to be display at Clinton Memorial Hospital's newly renovated Professional Building.  The community is invited to attend the CMH Gallery Exhibition and Open House on Thursday, May 18th, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the CMH Professional Building, 630 W Main St.

Seamless Summer Lunch Program

For the 4th year Sodexo and Wilmington City Schools will be able to offer free lunch to ALL kids 18 years and younger in the Wilmington area. 

So whether the kids are on campus for summer school, participating in an event at school, or they just want to come in from the heat and catch up with their friends, lunch is on us!  

Children don't have to be enrolled in WCS, nor the free lunch program to participate.  Just come and bring an appetite and visit with friends! Adult meals can be purchased for $3.00.

When:   M-F from May 30th through August 11th (excluding July 4th)
Times:  11am to 1pm, meals must be consumed on site
Where:  Wilmington Middle School cafeteria 

We could use your help in spreading the word.  There are still too many kids in our community who are hungry and during the summer months this may be the only hot meal they get that day. So let the neighborhood know, pack up the cars with kids, and get them to the WMS cafeteria for a healthy, hot meal this summer!
 

Menus will be posted as we get closer to May 30th. Just visit our Food Service page on the District website.
