Congratulations Mr. Reynolds at Wilson Middle School

Mr. Reynolds was selected at random by the Learning Well Resources Team for the School Naming Initiative to win $100.  Every student that entered a name for the School Naming Initiative wrote their teacher's name on their ballot.  Mr. Reynolds' name was selected at random from choosing a ballot. The Learning Well Resources Team presented a check to Mr. Reynolds on May 23, 2007.  Mr. Reynolds graciously donated the check to Wilson Middle School programming.  This is Mr. Reynolds' last year and he will definitely leave an impact on his students and Wilson Middle School!

Good Luck Mr. Reynolds!
