Hello, my name is Nicole Griffin. I grew up in rural Minnesota and moved to Colorado in 2000. I began working at Creekside Elementary in 2001 as a K-5 special education paraprofessional. In 2005, I joined the preschool team. I enjoy working with preschoolers as every day is different and there is so much to learn about the world around us. I love watching that process through their eyes.
