Mrs. Ayers
== This is my second year at Wilson Elementary and I am so happy to be here! This is my third year teaching first grade, and my fifth year of teaching. I like to swim, travel and read. I have an adorable cat named Sam that you will hear all about! I got married this summer, so you might know me as "Miss McKinney." My husband, Ben, and I met at the University of Houston and we still attend most of their sporting events. I know this year is going to be wonderful and I can't wait to spend it with all of you! ==

Mrs. Bradley
== I have been at Wilson since it opened in 1983 as either a parent, a volunteer, a substitute, or a teacher! I have taught kindergarten and second grade as well as first grade. This will be my 10th year in first grade. I am married with 2 children, Stephen, 25 and Carolyn, 23. They both are former Wilson Wranglers. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, walking my dog and spending time with family, especially at the beach! ==

Ms. Fritz
== I have 17 years of teaching experience. Ten of those years have been happily spent teaching first grade at Wilson. In my leisure time, I enjoy: going to movies, browsing in antique gardens. Both of my adult sons (Bryan & Jeffrey) are currently attending Texas A&M. I look forward to teaching your children. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. ==
