Mrs. Bates

Go Cats!  My husband, Doug, (37 yrs.happily married) and I love being Wink Wildcats. We moved here along with our daughter, Rachel, her husband, Matthew Jones (a Wink Graduate), and their children, Levi & Olivia. We have three other children, two Marines and their wives (Sempre Fi) Josh & Jess;  Caleb & Dominique, and Isaiah, a Wildcat Graduate and current WLISD Employee.  I enjoy teaching 4th grade ELAR and Social Studies at Wink-Loving Elementary. I also work with UIL Ready Writing, Editorial Writing, and LOVE helping with Lincoln Douglas Debate whenever I can.
