String musicians from Wilson, Washington, Jefferson and Tamaques schools performed their Holiday Concert under the direction of Robin Naylor.

Some of our Wilson third graders applied what they have learned about multiplication to calculate the cost of a Thanksgiving meal. Using real store circulars, they selected items for their menu and and the quantity they would need. Their trips to the grocery store will definitely have more "value" after this.
