Hello, my name is Rebecca Holmes. I am from Chapin, South Carolina.  I graduated from Chapin High School in District 5. I attended college at the University of South Carolina Upstate, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education. I am certified to teach grades 2-6. While at USC Upstate, I was a SC Teaching Fellow and I graduated Summa Cum Laude.

This is my forth year teaching! I am excited that I am teaching at Leaphart Elementary for my forth year. I love this school and I love working with students who are dedicated to learning. I am looking forward to helping my students problem solve, work collaboratively together, and set their own learning goals! My goal as a teacher is to help children grow a love for learning and become life-long learners.

A little about me, I come from a family of teachers. My mom is a teacher, as well as my sister in law. I have a love for students and teaching students. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, and reading. 

I am determined that this is going to be a great year!
