Mrs. Melissa Ballard
My name is Melissa Ballard and I am excited to be teaching Kindergarten and 1st Grade at Edison School this year! What I enjoy most about teaching elementary students is their eagerness to learn, getting to know their unique personalities, and seeing those "light bulb" moments while they are learning. I have a passion for education and a drive to help students flourish in their elementary years. My goal is to provide my students with challenging and enjoyable learning experiences.
A little background on me:
I have been a substitute teacher at Edison for the past 2 years, and I am a recent graduate of Fort Hays State University. I have a Bachelors of General Studies degree with minors in Child Development and Psychology as well as an Associates of General Studies with a minor in Education. I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas and moved with my husband and children to Colorado in 2009. I have 7 children (2 that have graduated from Edison) and I have worked with children most of my adult life. I look forward to getting to know your children this school year!
