WOW Time ( Wilson's Outstanding Way!)

Every other week, all year long, students attend a class with our principal, Mme Wade. This class is 45 minutes long and students are grouped by class enabling teachers release time to collaborate and plan together. The topic of the lessons in WOW Time vary, with many focused on learning The Wilson Ways (Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Collaboration, Curiosity and Healthy Habits). We also use this time to learn about using our WITS to address problem behaviours with others. Sometimes the topics are safety-based. Last week the lesson highlighted Bike/Scooter/Pedestrian safety and next week's lesson is on Hallowe'en Safety. Other times the lessons are based on a theme such as Kindness or Friendship. As well, we use this time to do our prize draws for Wilson Woods tickets which students earn from staff for showing the Wilson Ways. These lessons help ensure that all students in our school get the same message about schoolwide expectations and values.

New this year is a grade 5 student leadership group run by Mme Wade called the WOW Team. These students will help with creating the lessons for WOW Time by creating videos, skits, posters, etc. Our grade 5's are excited to be leaders and role models within our school.

🧤 LOST AND FOUND: The Mystery of the Missing Belongings! 🧥

Parents, it’s time for a little game of “Is This Yours?” 😂

Our Lost and Found pile is growing faster than we can keep up with! We’ve gone through everything and returned all the items that had names on them, but we still have quite the collection of lonely jackets, sweaters, water bottles, lunch containers, and other mystery belongings waiting to be reunited with their owners.

We’re starting to wonder if some of these items have decided to make our school their permanent home! 🏠

Please remind your children to stop by the Lost and Found and see if anything belongs to them. You might be surprised by what they’ve forgotten they even owned! 😉

Let’s help these lost items find their way home before they become permanent members of our school community. Please take a moment to check it out — your child might just discover that the missing hoodie they’ve been looking for has been here all along!

Help us reunite these items with their humans! ❤️
