Wilson Middle School after-school schedule

Dear apprentices, families and Citizen Teachers:

We've wrapped up a full year of unbelievable apprenticeships, explorations, leadership development, and academic improvements.  I want to thank the committed volunteer Citizen Teachers, hard working apprentices, great Team Leaders, and supportive Wilson staff for their enthusiastic commitment to our youth.  We will evaluate our program successes and plan for more successful academic support, apprenticeships, leadership activities, and exciting explorations next academic year.  Great job to the students and Citizen Teachers that WOW-ed Wilson Middle School in May!
