RDW Student visit Camp Freedom for Veterans Day

RDW students brightened the day of Veterans who visited Camp Freedom on Veterans Day. Camp Freedom is a local facility for disabled Veterans, First Responders, and their families. Camp Freedom allows the experience of hunting, fishing, biking, walking, and relaxing to these individuals at no cost. The art work and kind words from the students were well received by all recipients.

The Kindness Club is up and running at R.D. Wilson. After interviewing with Mrs. Germani (club advisor), six students were chosen to serve the Kindness Club for the fall season. These students got right to work planning a project that incorporated the nice weather. They wrote kind and encouraging messages on the sidewalk leading out to the recess area. For three days, students at RDW got to read things like “There’s only one you in the world” and “Spread kindness like confetti” as they walked out to recess. The group is excited to plan their next project to encourage kindness in our school.

RDW Celebrates Veteran’s Day 2022

The students at Robert D. Wilson Elementary marked Veteran’s Day by creating a series of beautiful, nautical themed cards, projects, and messages of thanks in art class this year. The students learned about the history of Veteran’s Day, formerly Armistice Day, and considered the many sacrifices that veterans and their families make for our country. Each student hand crafted a message in a bottle or a porthole design, that will be delivered to the veterans at Camp Freedom to express our gratitude.

Western Wayne Hosts 50th Anniversary Parade

The entire Western Wayne Community joined together on Saturday, September 24, for a parade to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the school. A number of groups marched some of which included the Western Wayne faculty and staff, members of the chorus in the middle school, high school, and chorus alumni, the Wildcat Marching Band, some local fire house companies, the members of the 2022 Homecoming Court, the Wildcat Cheerleaders, members of Wildcat sports teams, the Spanish Club, and others.
It was a beautiful day and community members lined up at the Western Wayne Middle and High School campuses to watch the parade that went around the school grounds.
“It was awesome to be back to celebrate this event with my friends in the music community at school,” Nick DeCandis, Class of 2022, said.
Western Wayne has a variety of other alumni events planned throughout the year and look forward to hosting more of our past students for these activities.
