Meet the Teacher

My name is Melanie Slone. I grew up in the Warsaw area. I graduated from Warsaw High School. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Grace College and my Master's Degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. I have been teaching at Washington Elementary School since 2004. My 5th grade team and I enjoy watching the students grow and learn over the year. We hope students will always have fond memories of their fifth grade year.
