Welcome to 1st grade!!!  My name is Mrs. Nicole Rhoads and I am thrilled to be your child's teacher this year.  This is my 16th year teaching and it is my passsion.  My heart and soul go into this job and I promise to love and challenge your child this year.  I have been married for 14 years to my husband Yarby.  We have two boys, Zack who is 9 years old and Anderson who is 4 months old. We attend St. Thomas Church in Chickasaw.  I grew up in Saraland and attended Satsuma High.  I love being a first grade teacher and teaching in my home community!  In my spare time, I like to shop, travel, and go to the beach.  I also love watching Alabama football with my family.
