Hello, I’m Stephanie Wilkinson.
I’m your teacher.
Here’s a little about me.

Birthday: December 30
Too close to Christmas! That’s what I say.  I’m one of those people who 
always got one present at the end of December that said “Happy Birthday and 
Merry Christmas.”  My secret wish? A September birthday!

College: University of Alabama
Roll Tide! It wasn’t long ago when I was a student just like you. I attended 
Alabama and earned degrees in Public Relations and Political Science and a 
Masters of Arts in Elementary Education.

Thing to do: Laugh
I love to laugh. It’s easy to make me laugh. I’m always happy. Promise. No 
time to be unhappy. Everyone better get their smile on.

Food: Mexican
Anything Mexican, especially fish tacos. Mmm. A soft tortilla filled with 
grilled tilapia, smothered in cilantro Cole slaw and fresh salsa makes me a 
happy girl!

Pastime: Spinning
When I’m not teaching the cool kids at Sarah Smith, I teach spinning to big 
kids — adults! Spinning is a form of exercise you get by riding a stationary 
bicycle to music in a dark room. We ride fast and long so we can grow up to 
be big and strong!

Pet: Boo and Lily! My kitties!
My babies are sooo cute! Boo turned 10 in April. He’s a black, male Persian 
cat. I call my Boo lots of names, like Bear, Old Man, Mr. Boo and Boo Boo. He 
loves to sleep. Less than 22 hours of rest per day makes Boo a grumpy old 
man! Then there’s Rose. She’s a lilac point Siamese. She is only one year old 
and already behaves like a princess! Lily loves attention. That little girl’s 
always up to something. Sometimes she gets playful at bedtime and bothers Boo 
and me. We’re still trying to teach her about manners.

Book: To Kill a Mockingbird
My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I bet I’ve read it 
15 times! Did you know Harper Lee is from Monroeville, Alabama? And that she 
was a friend of Truman Capote?

Movie: Breakfast at Tiffany’s
The star of the movie is Audrey Hepburn, one of my favorite actors. When I 
was a little girl, I wanted to be Audrey Hepburn. It’s true! Breakfast at 
Tiffany’s  was filmed in New York City. My first job was with Food and Wine 
magazine, and I lived in New York City in the West Village of Manhattan, and, 
finally, I got to be a little like Audrey!

Color: Blue
My favorite color is blue. Powder blue. Baby blue. Sky blue. Cobalt blue. I 
love blue, and it matches my eyes! (Wink wink.) I love anything blue but the 
color blue of an Auburn jersey.

Sport: Football
My favorite sport is football. Strap on those helmets, boys! Football season 
is almost here. Hooray! Of course I cheer for Alabama, but I always root for 
SEC schools, especially Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. And I’m a hometown 
girl. I always pull for the Jackets.

My IB profile word: Caring
I’m a caretaker, by nature. I like to take care of people and animals, and I 
like it best when everyone’s happy. My mom says I’ve always been that way. I 
like it when everyone’s smiling. That’s why I try to make class fun. We’ve 
got lots to learn, and learning new stuff isn’t always easy, but it’s always 
more enjoyable when it’s fun. You’re going to love 4th grade! Just you wait 
and see.
