Hi there! My name is Melissa Benedict. This will be my 13th year teaching and my 5th year at Norcross Elementary. I was honored as the NES teacher of the year for the 2013-2014 school year.
I am a busy mom of two boys, Maddox and Trent. My husband and I met as Gwinnett County middle school students and have been married for 14 years! Our family stays busy with sports including soccer, basketball, and softball. I am an avid sports fan and you will often see me sporting my FSU or Atlanta Braves gear!
Teaching kindergarten students to read and write is my passion. Our classroom is rarely quiet because I believe kindergartners need to be actively engaged in their learning! I set high expectations for my students and help them learn how to be self- motivated to not only reach but exceed expectations! I promise your child will leave my class with a love for learning and the tools they need to succeed!
