About me!

Allow me to introduce myself....I'm Kerri Wilkinson, and I am super excited to have you as a member of Team Wilkinson for the 2016-2017 school year!!  I was blessed to join Kenwood’s staff in 2013 and this is my 4th year teaching fourth grade.  

I am a Louisville girl…attended the Catholic school in my neighborhood growing up and then spent 4 wonderful years at Presentation Academy.  I graduated from Bellarmine University in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Economics, where I was also a member of the Cross County and Track & Field teams, and set out to rule Corporate America.  Sometime in the 5 years that followed this decision, I realized I was most passionate about my work with kids (through sports/coaching) and my employer understood.  I graduated with my Master’s in Teaching from the University of the Cumberlands in 2012 and have loved every minute of my second career.  I am also currently pursuing my Rank 1 Certification and hope to finish in May 2017.

My family is SPECTACULAR, we have a great time when we’re together…so we gather frequently and make my mom cook, because she’s really good at it ;) My dad taught us to worship Cardinal athletics, and he is definitely the King of the Tailgate!!  I have an identical twin, Kacie, and an older brother, Geoff.   But my favorite family member is my nephew Rees.  He is two and a half years old and I adore spoiling him rotten.

The greatest gift sports (and being a twin) gave me growing up was community—the sense that I belonged; that I was working with and for something greater than just myself.  It taught me communication, cooperation, and confidence.  I have the same goals for each member of Team Wilkinson this year—it’s why I greet them every morning and send them away every afternoon with a hug, handshake or high-five.  Thank you for sharing your child with me this year and I look forward to the many exciting lessons we will teach each other!
