Hi,   Missy is my nickname (Melissa my given name).  This is my 7th year of teaching not counting my four years as an assistant.  I graduated From ( GO APP!!!) Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I graduated Suma Cum Laude. ( Fun Fact: I also have a Criminal Justice degree.) I have worked as an Interventionist, Kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd grade teacher.  I love what I do and believe in being a life long learner.  I grew up in the mountains of Western NC, in a small town called Burnsville.  I lived on a Farm.   I now live in Lower Creek, Lenoir.  I have two boys 23 and 12. I love reading, Hiking , all  outdoor activities, football (Go Panthers) and college basketball  go DUKE.  GO VIKINGS!!!

******This Year 2nd grade is lucky to have Mrs. Caroline Greene student teacher from Appalachain State University. 

She lives in our community and we feel honored to have her in this classroom!!

I am so excited to be in the second grade class this year! I have three children who all went to Kings Creek so I feel like I have come home! Many years ago I graduated from UNC-CH but have wanted to teach for a long time. I will graduate from Appalachian in December!! I can't wait to be a full time teacher! Thank you for letting me learn from your wonderful children!! This has been an awesome experience!! Hope to see you more!!  And most importantly ...Go HEELS!!!!   LOL
