Quote from treacher:  “Melisa’s strongest academic interest is in science and she plans to study either biomedical engineering or chemical engineering,” said Tom Cambisios, English teacher. “She has been working as a volunteer in the oncology department at Toledo Hospital. She plays on Maumee Valley’s field hockey and lacrosse teams. Much of her self-discipline came from her involvement in gymnastics.”
