Mrs. Dawkins
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! My name is Leigha Dawkins, and I will have the privilege of being your child’s Special Education teacher this year. I am beginning my 18th year of teaching, but my 3rd year on the LES "team!" 😄 I graduated from Mississippi University for Women with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in English and Science. Since beginning my teaching career, I have taught 5th grade, 1st grade, 4th grade, Title I and Special Education K-5.
My husband and I have been living in Desoto County for the past 15 years, and we are blessed to have an eleven year old son who attends Desoto County Schools. We also have a three year old Miniature Schnauzer named Skip who is like a second child. In my free time, I love to spend time and travel with my family, watch movies, and read Christian Fiction books. My most favorite place to vacation is the beach. When we visit, I never want to come home! My family cheers for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, and we try to attend a few games throughout the year! Go Dawgs!
I look forward to getting to know you and your child!
It is going to be a WONDERFUL school year!
