The Wilmot Word

Hello Wilmot,

We wrapped up 2023 with many fun and special events for students and staff. Our students, staff, and PTO have all been busy planning special events to celebrate the holidays, prepare for the New Year, and enjoy our final days before break.

Team Give and the PTO organized our annual Holiday Lights Festival and Team Give Bake Sale last Friday night. Team Give raised over $200 with their yummy treats to donate to a local charity. The student council organized a special spirit week. Everyone enjoyed coming to school in their PJs, showing off their favorite colleges, and wearing fun holiday clothing to school. Operation Snowflake was a huge success. Thank you again to the many families who supported this important event. We ended our short week with holiday parties.

I want to wish our entire Wilmot community a wonderful holiday and a happy and healthy new year! See you in 2024!

Eileen
