My name is Nichola Phillips.  I am happy to be teaching third grade at St. Anthony Park Elementary!  This is my fifth year at SAP, and my 23rd year teaching for the St. Paul Public Schools.

I am a native of Minnesota, and currently live in St. Paul.  I completed my undergraduate degree at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronville, NY.   I moved back to Minnesota to get my teaching license and master's degree at the University of St. Thomas.   When I am not working, I like to spend time with my family (husband, 2 school middle school age children, 1 dog. 2 cats).  We enjoy hiking, camping, and traveling.  My favorite spots to visit in Minnesota are Lake Superior and the Gun Flint Trail areas.  I also like to read fiction books, to cook and to work out at the YMCA when I have time.
