Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!  My name is Nichola Phillips.  I am happy to be teaching third grade at St. Anthony Park Elementary!  I have taught for 10 years at SAP, and over 25 years at 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 Bronxville, NY.   I moved back to Minnesota to get my teaching license and Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of St. Thomas.   When I am not working, I like to spend time with my family (husband, 2 teen-age children, 1 dog and 1 cat and a bunch of chickens).  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.
