 * All About Me **



My name is Nicole Goodno, and I teach 2nd grade. I grew up and currently reside in nearby Franklin. I attended the University of Wisconsin La Crosse where I was a very successful student-athlete. I competed in both volleyball and track-n-field and earned All-American honors. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Therapeutic Recreation with a minor in biology. After I graduated, I moved home and immediately attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and earned my Post-Baccalaureate Certification in Exceptional Education as well as my Primary/Middle Elementary Education Certification. I also have my Master's of Science Degree in Education with a primary focus in Curriculum and Instruction.This is will be my 14th year as an educator. I worked in the Milwaukee Public School District as a special education teacher for 3 years and a 1st grade teacher for 5 years. I began working at Blakewood in South Milwaukee part-time as a special education resource teacher for 2 years until and then as a 2nd grade teacher for four years. I am excited to be a part of the Franklin community and a new member of Southwood Glen Elementary! I married my college sweetheart, Ryan. We have two beautiful children Ava (8 years) and Braylon (6 years). We love to hang out as family,especially boating during the summertime. I also have one brother, Chad who is also married. I am the proud auntie of Cade (4 years) and Camdyn (2). I feel blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive family. Without there love, support and guidance I would not be where I am today.
