It was another amazing year of creating learning communities for the greatest thinkers and most thoughtful people for the world across the West Linn-Wilsonville School District. Relive some of the highlights from the educational journey of our students, teachers, and staff during the 2024-2025 school year. Thank you to all who made it so memorable! We’ll see you again for the 2025-2026 school year.

The Wilsonville High School Class of 2025 was in the spotlight for a special event: the Parade of the Graduates. Our graduating seniors went back to each of the five primary and middle schools in Wilsonville where their educational journeys began to remember all the hard work they’ve done to achieve their goals, while also being an inspiration for the future graduating classes that cheered them on. It was an amazing day for everyone. Thank you to all who helped organize the event and created memories that will not be forgotten.

It was fun on wheels this week at Lowrie Primary for the annual Lowrie Wheel-A-Thon event! Students from all grades took to their bikes, skates, scooters, and even unicycles to ride a course that went around the school. Students experienced how to be more comfortable on their wheels, were taught how to properly put on their helmets, and learned to be safer while on the roads. Thank you to all of our teachers, staff, and volunteers who helped make this year’s Wheel-A-Thon such a fun time for everyone!

The Boeckman Creek Primary School community came together to celebrate its many neighbors at the annual International Cultures Night. Everyone was invited to join in over two dozen different countries and cultures through music, food, dance, art, and so much more. Boeckman Creek Principal Greg James said, “Events like International Culture Night and our Art Walk are more than just gatherings. They are reflections of the rich diversity and shared values that define us. Our different cultures, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives come together to form the vibrant, beautiful tapestry that is Boeckman Creek. With over 20 nationalities and cultures represented in our community, we are reminded every day of how diversity strengthens us. Each of you contributes something meaningful. Each of you matters. I hope tonight is not only a celebration of who we are, but also a reflection of the inclusive and supportive environment we strive to create every day.” Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a fun and amazing event.
