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 17th year teaching and it is my passion.  My heart and soul go into this job and I promise to love and challenge your child this year.  I have been married for 15 years to my husband Yarby.  We have two boys, Zack who is 10 years old and Anderson who is 15 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.
