Welcome to River Gate Academy! My name is Katie Wilkie and I'm so happy to welcome you into our classroom! Fifth Grade is a busy year filled with lots of fun and learning. I am excited about all that we have planned!
All About Me
I grew up in Akron, Ohio (Go Bucks!) and I love to go home and visit often. My parents, brother Paul, and his wife Danielle still live there. I have three brothers (Mike, Paul, and Dan) two sister-in-laws (Jen and Danielle) two beautiful twin nieces Brooke and Olivia, and one handsome nephew Anderson. One of my favorite things to do on my free time is hang out with the sweetest pup named Maverick. He is a seven year old lab and still keeps me busy with all of his energy! I also enjoy yoga, running, reading, and traveling.
When I graduated from Kent State University, I moved to Charlotte in search of warmer weather and southern charm. It was then that I began my teaching career as a first grade teacher in Gastonia. This is now my ninth year teaching. I have taught first and second grade. I am passionate about teaching and excited to be apart of the amazing fifth grade team at River Gate Academy!
