My name is Melissa Lowdermilk, and I am excited to be your child's first grade teacher for the upcoming school year! I am Bay Area born and raised. I went to Lynbrook High School in Cupertino and graduated from Santa Clara University in 2003. This will be my 21st  year teaching first grade at Sinnott Elementary! I have a son, Logan, who is going into seventh grade. We have a few pets including 2 cats Lizzie Tail and Dove Wing, and 6 backyard chickens. During my free time I love reading, cooking, knitting, gardening in my backyard, and spending time with my family.
