Our fourth, fifth and sixth grade girls won the Taryn Sumner Memorial Tournament this evening in Florence! Congratulations girls!
Last night was a great night of gathering for our community! The community meal, free "garage sale" items, Title Night activities for the kids, and Angel Tree donations made it a wonderful time! Thank you for showing up in spite of the weather, and we look forward to doing this again in the future!
We have lots of angel tree tags remaining. If you would like to sponsor a student, please contact the school ASAP. Thanks!!

Families of students in Football, Volleyball, and Cheer,
We will be doing a Fall Awards Banquet in the gym on December 3rd at 7:00pm.
The W-Club will provide a main course, a drink, plates, and silverware. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to pass. Families whose last name starts with K to Z bring a dish to pass (bread, salads, vegetable, or hot dish) and families whose last name starts with A to J bring a dessert. We will eat first and the awards program will follow. Student-athletes and managers will be recognized at the awards program.
See you there,

A number of schools in the Eastern Coteau Conference are starting to put together 5th & 6th grade volleyball programs. Wilmot is one of them! This will be a spring activity between the basketball and track seasons. Specific dates will be determined later.
This is a school sponsored program, so there will be no fee for girls in 5th & 6th grade to participate. Since this is a school activity, we are looking for a coach. If you are interested, please reach out to Mr. Hanson and complete an application on the school website.
