Melinda Koenen
5th & 6th Grade Teacher
I find myself to be a passionate and patient educator with a commitment to fostering a positive and God loving
environment. I have a heart to cheer, inspire, and empower students to reach their full potential. I believe the best achievement is when I successfully show love, as Jesus said, “Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.”
My collaborative nature extends beyond the classroom, as I value open communication with students, student’s parents, colleagues, and administrators to ensure a cohesive educational experience.
In addition to my role as a teacher, I have taken classes for personal and professional development. A continual progression of growth is my aim; learning does not stop at diplomacy. I also have been learning from the Lord for many years and hold close His wisdom and knowledge.
Overall, I have a genuine passion to educate. My goal is to love people and I start by first seeking the kingdom of God, which in return equips your child with the skills they need to thrive in a diverse world!
