The Woodrow Wilson Elementary School was built in 1957 in Northeast Bartlesville. It cost
$94,278 in 1957. By 1962 there were six portable classrooms at
the site, and an all-purpose room was added in 1965 for $98,038.
Six classrooms were added to Wilson by a 1993 bond issue, and a
1998 bond issue provided for air conditioning in the gymnasium
and repairs to the building's exterior fascia. A 2000 bond issue led
to the removal of fabric and vinyl wall covering from interior
walls, which were then textured and repainted.
In addition to
bond improvements to our facility our Parent Teacher Organization has provided many wonderful improvements
through fundraising efforts.
A new playground activity center for our main playground
and an informational sign located on
the east side of the building are some of the 2003 purchases. The summer of 2004 they purchased,
planted and maintained six large trees to beautify our main playground
area on the north side of the building. Moving to the inside of the
building, a climbing wall was purchased for our gym. And in the spring
of 2005 our PreK playground was overhauled on the south side of the
building. The PTO's efforts were then concentrated on technology.
Over the past three years they have purchased some new
computers for teachers and a wireless network for the
library. In the 2007-08 school year, TV's and DVD/VCR
combos were purchased for all classrooms.
