Quote from teacher: "Melissa is not just an excellent student because of her conscientious, meticulous, and curious nature," said Amy Farrer, English teacher, "She raises up her entire class with her as she temporarily abandons her own work to help or encourage a peer. It's a joy and honor to have a student like Melissa in class because she works diligently always and respects everyone in the classroom."
