Rachel Imperio, outgoing PTSA president, said she appreciates the PTA members and the 2013-2014 PTA board for all of their support, and she welcomes incoming PTA President Marc Perlman and his new board.

The Wilson PTA is in need of a new editor of the Wilson Knights newsletter for the 2014/2015 school year, which involves collecting monthly articles from Wilson staff and the PTA and then compiling them into a newsletter format.
