Wilkes Community Partnership for Children recognizes Early Childhood Teacher for October


Wilkes Community Partnership for Children has a recognition program for child care teachers based on observations by the Partnership staff of outstanding achievement in child care. Each month a teacher is presented with a door plaque with the teacher’s name in appreciation for the dedication to the children they serve. In October, Wilkes Community Partnership for Children recognizes Melissa Miller, NCPreK teacher at Moravian Falls Elementary, for her dedication to  the students and their families.  Melissa helps implement the Raising A Reader book bag program at Moravian Falls Elementary.  She has done a phenomenal job presenting the program to the parents of both pre-k classrooms.  She presented all information in a clear and friendly manner and she arranged for a translator to be present for the Spanish speaking families.  Her willingness to participate and effective communication are an asset to the program and is greatly appreciated!  Melissa has been teaching for 11 years with a BS in child development: birth-kindergarten and a MA in elementary education K-6 with an add-on certification in English for Speaker of Other Languages and has three children.  Melissa says “My heart is working with young children and families and teaching and learning with them both!”  Melissa stated “I love Moravian Falls Elementary, the community, and the families!  They are such a blessing!”

Wilkes Community Partnership for Children appreciates her dedication to serving children in Wilkes County. Wilkes Community Partnership for Children, a local Smart Start agency, is a United Way funded agency.
