HOMECOMING!!!!! Saturday, Oct. 25:
-Game: WILSON v. HD Woodson
-Dance: 7:30-11:30 pm-Theme: Glow in the Dark
Did you know that according to last year’s waste audit, 75% of the waste Wilson produces is either recyclable or compostable? Ain’t that cool? Let’s put our trash in the right bins and do our part to protect our environment.
In classrooms & offices, you can ONLY RECYCLE CLEAN PAPER PRODUCTS. Everything else goes in the black trash bins.
Okay to recycle in the BLUE bins:● paper w/ scotch tape or
staples● colored paper● post-its● paper w/ pen/pencil/ink
markings● crumpled paper ● cardboard
In the cafeteria & atrium, we will compost AND recycle! We need volunteers to help monitor the bins and educate students on the new program. If you’re interested and want community service hours, please tell us!
In hallways, teacher breakrooms, and common areas like Room 416, we will recycle clean paper products and empty containers (plastic, tin, glass) in separate BLUE bins.
Do you have ideas on how to make Wilson better? Do you want community service hours? If so...
BE A SECOND PERIOD REPRESENTATIVE!
Second period reps meet w/ the entire SGA once a month to discuss issues and suggestions voiced by their peers. Every meeting you attend = one service hour. If you help set-up for dances, you’ll receive additional hours AND free admission
*Students of each 2nd pd class will choose one rep by Friday, Sept. 12th

Seniors: Get *free* tickets to a Nationals baseball game against the the Atlanta Braves on September 8 @ 7 pm! Just text or Facebook message Jennifer Li with your name & the number of tickets you want (max 5 per person).
There are only 80 free tickets left, so reserve yours ASAP.
Are you a freshman interested in joining SGA? You can get 60+ community service hours each year for your hard work w/ SGA! We will host an interest meeting on Wednesday, September 3 in room 309 during STEP aka lunch. There are four positions available: Class President, Class VP, Trea$urer, and Secretary.
We would love to have you join the team!! (P.S. The perks are great.)
Mr. Cahall has officially declared the first Friday of every month as College Day. Wear your college gear to school and help us create an environment where students are encouraged to pursue higher education and realize their full potential. As always, if you have questions regarding the college process, drop by Room 108A (College and Career Center).
This year you might have a different counselor than you did last year, but don’t worry; your previous counselor will be more than happy to write your college recommendation if you prefer. Please make a point of getting to know your counselor and showing your appreciation for all their hard work!
If you’re a junior or senior who had a 3.0+ GPA last advisory, or increased their GPA by 0.5, don’t forget to turn in your off-campus lunch app by August 29! If you didn’t receive an application in the summer mailing, the form is available in the main office, as well as on the school website: wilsonhs.orgIn: About/School Information/Policies and Procedures

Be Consistently Exceptional
Dr. Bryan Williams, noted educator and trainer, gave the keynote speech at Wilson’s June 2014 graduation. He advised us all to:
Be Consistently Exceptional
Be consistently exceptional—acting in an exceptional way will make you stand out from the crowd
Be Consistently Exceptional
Build relationships by adding value to them—everyone is important so give every relationship your time.
Be Consistently Exceptional
Believe that you have NO limitations—the only one who limits you is you, yourself. Decide to be great.
Be Consistently Exceptional
Act on this principle: Your job exists to do something for someone else. Make this a practice that you follow consistently.
Be Consistently Exceptional
Think about success today not as something in the future. What does success look like? Put forth your best effort so that you succeed in everything you do.
Happy New Year!Wilson High School
