Melissa Claridge (3-4)

I am so excited to be starting a new school year! Once again we will be adventuring out in nature, creating new things and exploring the wonderful world God created. It is my goal to make our classroom a safe place to ask questions, try new things, and to find the unique path God has planned for each child.  My aim is to help the students learn to be kind, empathetic,  critical thinking individuals.

About Me
I love teaching but in my spare time I enjoy reading, snow skiing, playing basketball, participating in any activity involving water and going on adventures with my family. My husband Jon and I have two boys, Korbin, 11 and Keegan, 8. I love living in the Walla Walla Valley surrounded by friends, lots of family and the Blue Mountains.
