I have been a parent with Meridian Ranch for the past 7 years. My oldest now attends FMS as a 7th grader and my youngest is in 3rd grade here at MRES. I had the privilege of becoming a Resource Para three years ago, deepening my relationship with MRES. I always enjoyed volunteering and working in my children’s classrooms as their teachers needed, but was further rewarded with being able to work with students one on one helping them grasp a deeper understanding of the material as a Para. When Melinda announced her retirement I thought, “I could better serve our school and community by becoming the new face of the front office”. I know I have big shoes to fill and look forward to further serving our community here at MRES and our District 49 team.
