About Me

Who is Ms. Rhodes?

I am a student teacher for the Art classroom here at Wren Elementary for the 2021-2022 school year. I am already loving my time at Wren with Mrs. Bailey and all my wonderful students!

I will graduate from Anderson University in 2022 with a degree in Art Education. I have always had a deep love of art and creating, but I knew Art Education was for me after being inspired by my high school art teacher. I know that Art Education is my calling, and I am so passionate about sharing my love of creating with my students!
