Hi! I'm Mrs. Wilbur and this is my 19th year teaching at South McKeel Academy. I am so excited to be teaching first grade and I am looking forward to all the things we have planned in our classroom. I cannot wait to see what my students learn and create. It's going to be another AMAZING year at SMA!

I attended Florida State University and graduated with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education in 2006. I am also ESOL certified, Orton-Gillingham trained & certified, have my Reading Endorsement, and Florida Civics Seal of Excellence Endorsement.
