My name is Shakeila Wood and I am from Barnwell, South Carolina. I moved to the area, to attend the University of South Carolina-Aiken where I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education degree. I have obtained my Master of Education degree with an emphasis in STEM as of 2019. This is my third year at Byrd Elementary School, but I have been teaching for four and 1/2 years. As the adage says, it takes a village to raise a child. Based off my experiences, I would venture to say it takes a village to educate a child.  With parental involvement, I can work closely with families to ensure both academic and personal growth for each child. I look forward to a FANTASTIC school year!
