We want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to DUKE ENERGY for sponsoring our Summer Reading Program at Wilbur Wright. Students built their skills and vocabulary as guest speakers and teachers collaborated with a theme of "College and Career Readiness." Students won books, were given t-shirts, and were able to visit the Center of Science Institute in Ohio, all thanks to Duke Energy. We are so grateful to our community partners; we're #BuildingBetterFutures together!
