Hello! My name is Addy Moore and I'm SO excited to be teaching kindergarten at Gudy Gaskill Elementary School. This will be my 6th year teaching in the classroom. I previously taught for 4 years in Jeffco and 1 year in D11. Kindergarten is truly my passion and where my heart belongs.
I'm a proud Colorado native and have enjoyed living in the Littleton area. I couldn't imagine calling anywhere else home! I earned my BA from the University of Northern Colorado with a minor in American Sign Language. I also have my MA degree in Education along with a Reading Specialist Endorsement. I love incorporating sign language into my classroom and teaching my students!
Kindergarten is such a foundational year, and it brings me joy to see how much progress each child makes. My goal is to help every student develop a love for learning and school, and ensure they feel seen, valued, and loved every single day.
Outside the classroom, I love spending time with family and being outdoors. I'm a water girl through and through. I enjoy boating, tubing, paddle boarding, and soaking up the sunshine when I can. I also love golfing and would like to check off courses around CO. When I'm home, I enjoy relaxing with our sweet dog and cat.
Looking forward to an amazing school year and can't wait to work alongside you and your child!
Hello! My name is Melissa Tardif and I am thrilled to be a kindergarten teacher at Gudy Gaskill Elementary School. This is my 18th year of teaching and my 11th year teaching kindergarten. I am a proud Colorado native, LPS graduate, and CSU Alumni. I love teaching kindergarten and I believe it to be a sacred year that I am honored to share with you and your child. In kindergarten, children begin their education paths and it is my goal for every child to leave me with a passion for learning, an enthusiasm for school, and memories to last a lifetime.
When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family; my husband, three children, and 2 pups. I love to run, cook, do yoga, and read. My happiest place is at the beach! I look forward to meeting you and having a wonderful year together!

I love teaching kindergarten! I enjoy working with the kids and watching them learn and grow. I am excited to get to know each child and I love helping them develop a love of learning.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, and enjoying a good book! My husband, Jon, also works in education and we have a son, Ethan, and a Boston Terrier, Cooper.
I am looking forward to an amazing year together!
