"I nominate Melissa Channell for Staff Member of the Month for March. She exhibits strong communication skills, patience, and a supportive nature. I’ve had the privilege of working with her for two of my students, and I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond to meet their individual learning needs. She has also provided valuable writing support that benefits both the students she directly serves and my entire class. In IEP meetings, she demonstrates her deep knowledge of her students and advocates for their learning needs. As a first-year teacher at Riverwalk, she has made me feel welcomed and supported in my pursuit of higher-level education. I’m proud to nominate her and believe she is truly deserving of this recognition."
