Mrs. Wilson was nominated by a colleague, Jeanne Barbour.

In her nomination Mrs. Barbour stated, “Mrs. Wilson has

been a teacher for nearly 20 years. Most of that time she has

been here at Wayne Avenue. She is grade chair, and has led

numerous committees throughout the years. She loves

teaching and cares deeply about all her students. She is a

wonderful role model for students as well as fellow teachers.

She is patient, kind and thoughtful. Her dedication to

teaching is evident to all who know her. I have had the

fortune of working with her for 5 years; prior to working with

her, I was privileged to have her as my own daughters

teacher. The thing I admire most about Mrs. Wilson is her

respect for the students. She inspires students to take

responsibility and motivates them to be successful. In turn,

they have a tremendous amount of respect for her as well.

She has touched the lives of hundreds of students throughout

the years, and in doing so, has made the world a better

place!”
