My name is Mrs. Michelle Rahalewich (just sound it out, 4 syllables).  I have been a teacher for many, many years now.  My degree is in Elementary Education with a specialty in Early Childhood from Maryville University in Missouri.  My Master's degree is in Elementary Education from Southwest Baptist University in Missouri. I have taught preschool through third grade and have tutored through eighth grade. I grew up in St. Louis, MO and then moved to San Diego, CA before moving to Colorado Springs in 2009.  I am married and we have a fabulous daughter as well as three cats.  In my free time, I am an avid reader and I spend a lot of time at the gym.  I enjoy teaching at RVES.
