March 13, 2026 - It truly was “An Enchanted Evening”! Wilson Education Foundation (WEF) was thrilled to partner with the Wilson School District to bring this unique event to life! A night to celebrate and showcase the amazing talents of our Wilson Visual & Performing Arts students and the dedicated teachers and staff, past and present, who educate, support, and cheer them on! Their hard work and passion for the arts were on full display!
We honored our Inaugural Wilson Visual and Performing Arts Hall of Fame Inductees - Mr. Robert H. Chappel and Mr. Frank J. Ferraro, Sr. Thank you for the legacy you have created at Wilson!
Wilson Theater Company cast members from Cinderella performed a sneak peek of the show in April (16th-18th). Get your tickets, it's going to be great! Attendees also enjoyed musical renditions featuring Wilson music students in a String Quartet (featuring Orchestra Teacher, Mrs. Kelly Kuhn), a Jazz Band, and vocalists.
Our talented art students engaged with guests during the event, creating a live painting and two live pottery wheels, making various items. All of which became part of the online silent auction. Bidding is now open to the community - support all of these Wilson artists, past and present! Link to auction: https://www.32auctions.com/WEFAuction2026
The auction also features a signed Taylor Swift guitar, music memorabilia, jewelry, a Disney Trip, and more!
A heartfelt thank you to all the Wilson Education Foundation (WEF) sponsors, supporters, attendees, and the entire Wilson Community for such a wonderful night! We had a packed house and may need to make this a yearly event! Thank you for helping us continue our mission to support Teaching Excellence, Student Experience, and Community Engagement!
