I attended SOSU and obtained my teaching certificate in December of 2003.  I then began my teaching career here at Calera the following fall of 2004. I have now been teaching for 22 years.  This is my 23^rd and I am proud to say that all of my years have been right here in this very classroom teaching 3^rd graders.  I am a BULLDOG through and through! 

I am blessed to be married to Mr. Thralls. We just celebrated our 28^th wedding anniversary. We have three wonderful children, a sweet daugter-in-law, and a beautiful grandson- Jack. Our eldest son, Bryce, is a High school teacher here at Calera.  Krisitian, our second son, is an Ag teacher in Copan Ok., and our daughter Kaysun is a ful time Business student at SOSU.  Mr Thralls and I live in Roberta with our dog, Pete. We enjoy family functions, playing with our grandson, and attending sporting & FFA  events.

I love slow mornings with coffee on the porch, reading books on my kindle, and supporting my children in their activities.   We attend church at Reynold’s Chapel in Bokchito where my husband pastors and I am the Children’s directory. We thoroughly enjoy serving together.
