Welcome to 1^st Grade at Ridgeview Elementary!!

My name is Melynda Kelley and I am a First Grade teacher at Ridgeview Elementary! I have been in education since 2006. I have taught in District 49 since 2018 and I have had the privilege of working at RVES since 2021. I truly believe that Ridgeview is the BEST place to learn, work and grow!!

I am a Colorado NATIVE and a graduate of District 49…..Go, Sand Creek Scorpions!! As a native, I spend a lot of time outside enjoying the great outdoors. My family and I love hiking, camping, and gardening. I am also an avid AVALANCHE fan. Let’s go Avalanche!!!
