A Little Something About Mrs. Barrow....
My name is Mechele Barrow. I teach second grade at West Blocton Elementary School in West Blocton, AL. My family comes only behind God in my life. I am blessed to have been married to my husband for the past 20 years. God has given us two beautiful daughters.
My oldest daughter, Katie, is in the eight grade. She has been taking piano for 9 years and is becoming a wonderful pianist. This will be her first year with the high school marching band. We will be attending all the local games in support of Katie and the West Blocton Tigers!
My youngest daughter, Abby, is in the sixth grade. She is very active. She loves her Granddaddy's horses and helping with animals on his farm. She is a cheerleader for the 11-12 West Blocton youth program. We will attend her games every Saturday night for the next eight weeks.

I am a home grown girl! I have lived in this area of Alabama my entire life. I can't imagine living anywhere else. I love to travel and visit other places, but, none are like my home.
