My name is Nicole Ford.  I am so thrilled to have you in my class this year.  I hope you are ready to learn a lot of new and exciting things.  We will be completing a lot of projects this year.

I was born in Tallahassee Florida.  I attended Concord Elementary in the little community of Miccosukee, Florida.  I attended Elizabeth Cobb Middle School, and I graduate from Lincoln High School.  I graduated from Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University (FAMU) with a degree in Elementary Education (1-6).  After graduation I worked as a substitute teacher and later as a Paraprofessional for both Riley Elementary School and Sabal Palm Elementary.

I begin my teaching career in 1996 at Caroline Brevard Elementary School here in Leon County. Later,  I moved on to teach at Leonard Wesson Elementary as Wesson prepared to merge with Bond Elementary to form one school.  Leonard Wesson and Bond Elementary schools merged and formed the new Bond Elementary School.  I have been teaching at Bond Elementary School since 2006.  I have had the opportunity to teach Kindergarten, First, Second, and third grades in my 25 years of teaching.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know all about you!
