Hello! I'm Mrs. Thomas and I'm so excited to be teaching STEAM to K-2 students at Nancy Ryles!
I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. After getting my B.A. and M.A. from the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!) I taught high school English in Indiana for 6 years. I then became a stay-at-home mom to my 2 daughters. We moved to Oregon in 2015 and our family loves exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest through hiking and backpacking. I also love baking, reading, and hanging out with our 2 cats, Tuxedo and Heidi.
I'm thrilled to be back in the classroom and can't wait to teach and learn alongside the Nancy Ryles Crocodiles!
