About Me

Hi! My name is Mrs. Melody McMaster and I will be your child's teacher this year.

This will be my 30th year at Gaston Elementary School. I graduated from George Fox College with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education. I also earned an additional Bachelor of Science degree from Portland State University in elementary education. Since obtaining my first degree, I have continued to take classes. I have completed over 110 additional credits and I am still eager to continue my endeavor to learn.

My husband is now retired and is enjoying it by volunteering, riding his bike and hiking. We have two sons, Taylor and Spencer. Taylor is currently working for the Coast Guard and is based in Seattle and Spencer is a youth counselor for the Peace Corp in the Kingdom of eSwatini in Africa.

In my free time, I enjoy working out, hiking, card making, sewing and spending time with my family. I love teaching and knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was in fourth grade. I am looking forward to being your child's teacher.

In kindergarten, we will have a great year together... learning to read, experimenting in science, learning math, working on the computer, participating in P.E., singing, creating in art, making friends and much more.
