Dohron Wilson Elementary

What a wonderful day celebrating our first group of Student of the Month honorees!

This month, we recognized students who exemplify what it means to be a Confident Communicator. These are the students who speak clearly and respectfully, share their ideas with conviction, and listen actively to others. They lead conversations and help foster a positive learning environment for everyone!

It was an honor to have them eat lunch with me (the Principal!) on the stage and receive their certificates and balloons. Every single student was beaming, and we are so proud to recognize their efforts and hard work.

Thank you for making our first celebration back a huge success!

Stay tuned to see who we celebrate next month!

What a bouncing good time we had at Field Day! Seeing all those smiles, especially in the bounce houses, was the perfect way to wrap up the year. A huge thank you to our amazing PTO for helping make all the fun possible! To all our incredible parents: Thank you for sharing your wonderful kids with us this school year. It's been an honor to learn and grow with them. And to our students: You've made my first year as principal truly unforgettable. I'm forever grateful for this vibrant community. Now, let's jump into summer! Enjoy every splash, run, and dance. See you next year!

My principal (momma) heart is absolutely bursting after our DWE Talent Show today! 💖 Watching our elementary students step onto that stage, so incredibly brave and ready to share their amazing talents, was truly something special.

You filled our hearts today!

Feeling so inspired after soaking up all the beauty and talent at Arts Fest last week! ✨ From stunning paintings to captivating performances, my creative spirit is definitely recharged.

Mechanicsburg Exempted Village School Earns Prestigious Purple Star Designation for Class of 2025 The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce has officially renewed Mechanicsburg Exempted Village School’s status as a Purple Star School, recognizing its ongoing commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families. The Purple Star designation, for the Class of 2025, is awarded to schools that meet rigorous criteria set by Ohio’s Purple Star Advisory Board. These standards focus on ensuring that military-connected youth receive the support they need—academically, socially, and emotionally—especially during times of school transition and deployment. We are proud to once again receive this meaningful recognition. Our staff is deeply committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for military families, and this designation is a testament to that ongoing dedication. Ohio’s military-connected students often face unique challenges, including frequent moves and periods of parental deployment. The Purple Star School Award acknowledges schools that go above and beyond to provide stability, resources, and understanding during these times. Mechanicsburg Exempted Village School will retain its Purple Star status for the next three years and will be eligible to reapply for the Class of 2028 in the fall of 2027.
