Spirit of the Mustang - December
Melissa is not only a wonderful caring teacher; she is a fun and caring coworker. She is a supportive department member on both a professional and personal level. Melissa is always willing to share ideas and collaborate with other teachers. But even more meaningful than that, Melissa celebrates others’ successes. Her genuine caring makes the English department stronger and those around her feel welcome and loved- an important element in any new teacher’s career. I personally have truly appreciated Melissa’s support on both personal and professional fronts.
