My name is Melissa Patterson. I am excited to begin my 12th year of teaching. This will be my 8th year in Kindergarten, prior to that I taught 1st grade. I love watching my Kindergarteners learn and have fun each day.  I hold a masters and specialist degree in elementary education. I am a proud member of ALTURISMO! I am married to my husband Greg.  We have three children together: Ellie (13), Brooks (8), and Addie (2).  Go TIGERS!
