Cottonwood has had the pleasure of working with Melyssa both as an instructional aide and now as a teacher, and we could not be more proud of her professional growth. A former Alder Resident Student Teacher, she has demonstrated an inspiring commitment to excellence and continuous learning.
Melyssa is actively involved in teacher-led clubs and consistently goes above and beyond her daily responsibilities. She builds students’ confidence, fosters their success, and creates a welcoming classroom environment where every scholar feels supported. Her energy, positivity, and genuine care for others make her a shining example of dedication and leadership.
Whether offering a safe space for students during emotional moments or collaborating with colleagues, Melyssa’s warmth, organization, and professionalism enrich our entire school community. We are grateful for all she does!
