All About Mrs. Rainey...

Welcome to Kindergarten!!

Teaching is an absolute passion of mine! I am so excited to work with you and your child. It is going to be a year full of fun, learning, and lots of adventures, and I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us! I thought you might like to know a little bit about me.

I am married to my wonderful husband, Chad.  We have twin daughters (Tatum Olivia & Hayden Grace) who are in seventh grade this year.  They take up most of my free time. My family loves being outside and going to the beach & lake together.

I have lived in Greenville all of my life.  I went to Travelers Rest High School and graduated from Lander University in 2006.  I earned my Master’s degree in Education at Southern Wesleyan University in 2009.

This is my eighteenth year teaching at Gateway Elementary, and my second year in kindergarten.  I absolutely love teaching! It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students.  I attempt to teach with a passion for my subjects so that my students develop a desire to become lifelong learners.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  It is so important to keep communication open between us, and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel that need!  I look forward to a great year together!
