Burris, Mrs.

I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. My husband and I love our work and we also love to travel. Our boxer, Charley, is the best boy!

I have been in education and working with children for 25 years! I love what I do and first grade is my favorite grade to teach! I have a Masters degree in Education and am a Nationally Certified STEM Educator. 

My Philosophy: I believe being a teacher is about teaching students how to read, write, compute, deduce, and work as a team to answer big questions. I believe teaching is also about a face to face relationship of love, acceptance, making mistakes, growing, and learning.

Fenske, Ms.

Hi Friends!  My name is Melanie Fenske, and this will be my 8th year teaching first grade.  I have the best job ever!  When I'm not at school with our awesome students and coworkers, I am usually at home hanging out with my 3 kids, dog, cat, chickens, and guinea pigs.  I also love camping, biking, skateboarding, and playing outside.
