Hi! My name is Mrs. Candice Grobe!  I am 42 years old. I will be your child’s 4th grade English and reading teacher for the 2022-2023 school year! This will be my 20th year teaching at West Elementary, and I am excited to make this our best year yet! I grew up in Vinemont, Alabama, where I attended Vinemont School for Kindergarten through 12th grade. I then attended Wallace State Community College for two years, Athens State College for another two years, and then received my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Alabama in Birmingham.

I have been blessed with my husband, Mark who grew up in Cullman. He is an Engineer for US Army Futures Command. We have two children: One daughter, Camden, who will be in eighth grade at CMS this year; A son, Kipton, who will  be in sixth grade at West. I am so blessed to have these two little stinkers and love them to the moon and back. The spoiled fur baby of the family is a male Malshipoo named Taz.  I can’t wait to meet all of you and learn about your wonderful families!
