About Ms. Melloni

I am delighted to be teaching Social Studies at Mater Christi Middle School! I have taught Social Studies, Humanities, and Language Arts in public schools before joining the Mater Christi Family twelve years ago. I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for understanding and exploring the history and cultures of our diverse world.

I live in Burlington with husband, Thomas. We have enjoyed traveling the world together exploring art, civilizations, food, and ancient historical sites. Our three daughters have also inherited the travel bug. Marcella, Elena, & Bianca are pictured here at a concert with us at Shelburne Museum! As a family we enjoy listening to live music together and traveling around the globe to learn more about our ever evolving world and to appreciate the beauty of the planet.

My personal hobbies and activities include paddle boarding, sailing and swimming in Lake Champlain. I'm always reading fiction and non-fiction! I love arts & crafts so I always have a sewing project on hand. You'll see me riding my bike to school, skating on the rink, and embracing the outdoors as much as possible. I also teach yoga and cycling classes at the YMCA & UVM.  ~Please come say hi or send me an email @ jmelloni@materchristischool.net
