For the 10th YEAR IN A ROW, the Wilson School has the BEST RESULTS IN THE STATE of NJ in our size category (38% of our student body) to achieve the Presidential Fitness Challenge Award in 2010-11! Meaning they placed in the TOP 15% or better in every one of the physical tests! The Wilson School is now TIED for the BEST record in the US!

We have 21 students who qualified for the Presidential Fitness Challenge Award.  These students were required to complete satisfactorily in 5 physical tests, for ages ranging from 6-17 throughout the U.S.

 The tests include the “V” sit, which tests for flexibility;  push-ups and/or pull-ups which test arm and chest strength;  curl-ups which check the stomach muscles;  the mile-run and the shuttle-run for long and short distance running.

The students receiving the Presidential Award have achieved at or above the 95th percentile in each of the tested areas.

Congratulations Wilson Students!

A Wilson School tradition is to celebrate the Family of Wilson at the first assembly of the academic year.  This program was held on Friday, Sept. 30, 2011 at 11:15 in the auditorium.  The new sound system was much appreciated for the Performance Scholars, Helena and Disha, who performed Irish Step Dancing and Indian Dancing for our enjoyment.  Each student and teacher came forward and introduced themselves with their name and a little information.  An 8th grader read an original writing “Dick and Jane at The Wilson School”, which was enjoyed by all.

This year the focus was Leonard Bernstein, in honor of the 20th anniversary of his death in 1990. Students experienced some of his world famous “Young People’s Concerts for CBS”, as well as a presentation of the Broadway show “West Side Story”. At the Wilson student presentation, individuals will perform Bernstein compositions, and groups will perform selections from “West Side Story”. All are invited to attend!
