Problem & Solution

When students move to a new community and a new school, it can be difficult for them to make friends—especially if they move in the middle of the year. Wilson Middle School has developed a Community Club that reaches out to new students for their first year at school. The Community Club invites new students to events where they can meet other students outside of the classroom. The club also provides every new student with a "buddy" who helps the student navigate the school.
