🎉 Welcome to the Team! 🧠✨
We are absolutely thrilled to introduce Mrs. Wilkinson, our new K–8 Gifted Teacher! 🥳
Mrs. Wilkinson brings an incredible and diverse background to our school community. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Geology from Case Western Reserve University, an MBA from Capital University, and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of South Florida! 🎓🤘 Before finding her true calling in education, she put those impressive degrees to work as a Civil Engineering Project Manager. 🏗️📐
For the past six years, she has been inspiring students as a middle school math teacher, including spending the last five years specializing in gifted education at a Pinellas County Center for Gifted Studies. 🔢💡
Originally from Long Island, New York, Mrs. Wilkinson has been married to her husband for 25 years. Together, they have one child who proudly attends USF (Go Bulls! 🤘) and two beloved cats. 🐈‍⬛
When she isn't helping students challenge themselves and reach their full potential, you can find her:
📖 Lost in a good book
✈️ Traveling to new destinations
⛺ Camping under the stars
Please join us in giving Mrs. Wilkinson a massive welcome to our community! We are looking forward to an amazing year of curiosity, exploration, and growth! 🚀🌟

Exciting news, PAMS families!
My name is Michelle Ortega, and I am thrilled to share that I am stepping into a new role as an ESE teacher this year! 🌟
For the past three years, I have proudly served as a paraprofessional right here at PAMS. During this time, I’ve gained invaluable experience supporting our amazing students and collaborating with our wonderful educators to build a positive, welcoming learning environment. I am incredibly grateful for those opportunities, and I cannot wait to continue this journey with you all in a new capacity! 📚✨
This year, I look forward to supporting our middle school students as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Working closely with both fellow educators and you—our families—is incredibly important to me. Together, we will help each student reach their full potential! 🤝❤️
Outside of the classroom, I love staying active through exercise, riding my bike to the beach, and traveling to explore new places and experiences. 🚴‍♂️🏖️✈️
I am so excited for a fantastic school year ahead! Let's make it the best one yet! 🦅💙
