Congratulations to Mrs. Melton, our April Staff Member of the Month!
True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis
You have been a bridge for many years, you have touched so many children throughout your teaching career and we were blessed you ended it here at Tate. Your devotion and dedication will live on in all of the students you have taught. We will miss you and we hope you enjoy your retirement. Thank you for helping make Tate great!
