About Mrs. Wilson
The 2022-23 school year will mark my 19th year of teaching English at Davis Middle School. I taught 6th grade English language arts and social studies for 6 years and this will be my 13th year teaching 7th grade English. I am currently serving as the Business Professionals of America (BPA) Advisor and have been in that role for the last 7 years. I am a graduate of Michigan State University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education and minors in English and history. I also received my Master's degree in Literacy Instruction from Michigan State University in 2009. I currently serve as Board Member/Secretary of CAPA (Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness) in Hillsdale County and am a member of Delta Kappa Gamma sorority for educators in Hillsdale County. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family and friends, reading, cooking, and working in my garden.

Favorite Quotes About Reading:

"The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts." ~Rene Descartes
"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." ~Joseph Addison
Literacy unlocks the door to learning throughout life, is essential to development and health, and opens the way for democratic participation and active citizenship." ~Kofi Annan
