Ms. Rawlings
Hey there! I'm Shekinah Rawlings, and I'm absolutely stoked to be part of the 4th grade team at Yates Mills. I've always had a passion for working with kids and building strong connections with students, parents, and the community. I'm really looking forward to being a positive force for change at Yates Mills.
I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. After graduating from the illustrious North Carolina A&T State University, I headed to South Africa to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Once back in the States, I welcomed my daughter Zion and made the move to Baltimore, Maryland. While in Baltimore, I earned a Master's Degree in Education and dual certification in Elementary and Special Education from the prestigious Johns Hopkins University. I've taught kids from early childhood to 5th grade, but I have a soft spot for teaching Math!
When I'm not in the classroom, I'm all about making memories and capturing those special moments. My daughter and I love to travel – we've been to Hawaii, London, Sri Lanka, New York, South Africa, and Dubai. I've also taken up ice skating and roller skating as my favorite hobbies. And there's nothing I love more than cooking for my family and enjoying quality time with them, filling the house with love and laughter. I can't wait to create meaningful moments with your learners this school year!
