As we close out the 1st semester of this 2020-2021 school year, Principal Johnson and Assistant Principal Grace wanted to show a small token of gratitude and appreciation to our GREAT staff for their dedication, grit, and perseverance as they kept "Teaching and Learning" at the forefront for all our scholars during this pandemic.
Join us as we celebrate the last day of school before winter break! Yesterday during Digital Citizenship, students were challenged to create a virtual holiday card to send to one of their teachers and here are a few of the cards that were created!
As digital citizens at Wilkerson we strive to apply innovative technologies, secure online safety and ethics for all, and build our global communications skills. Thanks to all students that participated in this activity!

Congratulations to Wilkerson's Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Melissa O'Neal! We are excited about her being in the running to compete for Secondary Teacher of the Year for our district. Melissa is a focused, determined, and progressive math educator committed to student learning and professional growth. Melissa has been invited to and volunteered to participate in several educational programs aimed at closing the learning gap for students in urban districts by being a part of initiatives and educational groups such as SUSME_ Supporting Urban Science and Math Educators; ACTM_ Alabama Council of Teachers of Mathematics; ALNBCT Network_ Alabama National Board Certified Teachers. Through her involvement in these groups, Melissa has gained a plethora of knowledge concerning current trends in math education which she utilizes in classes to increase her students understanding and ability to make connections to math and the real world. Melissa encourages novice educators, and those newly graduated students from colleges and universities to use their passion and commitment to improve the lives of the disadvantaged youth. #TeamWilkerson is honored to celebrate you all year.

Birmingham City Schools Institute: We are Kung fu fighting!
Day 1 of 2018-2019 Standardized Testing (Scantron Performance Series) is in the books and what a busy day it has been! Our faculty and staff dressed in their "War" gear, as we declared War on conquering this test!!!! Our morning started with the majority of our students eating breakfast, because we all know we do our best work on a full stomach. After breakfast, Principal Johnson met with the students in the gym to offer some words of encouragement concerning testing. We know one test does not measure all areas of our students' abilities, but we do know accountability is important, and we want to do our best. As the students were dismissed from the gym, Assistant Principal White and Mrs. Simpson handed each student a handful of M&M Power Pills to provide a little chocolate rush. Students unable to have chocolate were provided with peppermint. Many of our wonderful and supportive parents have provided treats for our students to enjoy during testing. The faulty and staff were provided delicious bagels and cream cheese spreads from Panara Bread...thanks to Carita Venable, a huge supporter of our school for providing our staff with such a wonderful treat. Day 1 of testing went well. Our students were very excited and worked very hard. As an incentive, students meeting their goals were allowed to spend time in the game room following testing. We just know that tomorrow even more students will have this opportunity because we are winners in everything we do.
Wilkerson Middle School had the esteemed privilege to host and honor one of the Alabama African American History Calendar Honorees sponsored by AT & T, Mrs Jeanette Scissum, the first African American female Mathematician and Scientist at NASA and a Hidden Figure graduate of Alabama A & M University. Mrs. Scissum spoke to an intimate group of students about her life and legacy. She also challenged them to dream big, prepare now for their future, and to never accept defeat. Several students reflected on how her words encouraged them and the appreciation they have for her contributions to society and the world of education. To show our appreciation, she was presented with a wreath especially made by our Secretary, Ms. Brenda Perry, a fruit basket, and momentous gifts representing our school's name.
