This spring, our elementary school chorus and band students delighted families and staff with a wonderful evening of music and celebration. Students performed a variety of upbeat and meaningful songs they have been practicing throughout the school year, showcasing their hard work, confidence, and teamwork. The concert brought smiles to the audience and created a warm sense of community as students proudly shared their talents on stage. We are grateful to everyone who helped make the spring chorus/band concert a memorable success!
It's a Wild Day to be a Wildcat!
Wilbur students, teachers nd staff was blown away by a stunt filled show with BMX riders showing jaw-dropping tricks, stunts and plenty of excitement. Beyond the amazing stunts, students also heard important messages about bike safety, making positive choices, and treating others with kindness and respect. This was an unforgettable day full of fun, laughter, and lessons that will stick with our Wildcats long after the ramps are gone!
