Ms. Melinda Burnside

This will be my 21st year of teaching!  Whoa!!  Springs Ranch is a wonderful community!  Just a little about me... I grew up in a small town in Southeastern Colorado. I went to Adams State College, obtained my teaching degree in Elementary Education and played volleyball. I also have my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. My hobbies consist of playing sports, watching my son play sports, and enjoying Colorado Springs with my kiddo. I am committed to providing your child with the best possible school experience.
