Hello! I am Melanie Nations and I am super excited to be teaching K-4 Gifted and Talented at Prairie Grove Elementary!
I am a 1993 graduate of Fayetteville High School, and I graduated from the University of Arkansas' Master of Arts in Teaching Program in 1998. Over the next two years, I will be attending the University of Arkansas again in order to complete my Gifted and Talented Certification.
I have been teaching for 20 years. The first 4 of those 20 years I taught in Springdale at JO Kelly Middle School. Then I got a job teaching in Prairie Grove, and I have been here ever since!
I live in Prairie Grove with my husband, Graham, and my two daughters, Ella and Maggie. My husband is a Prairie Grove high school graduate and both of my daughters attend Prairie Grove Schools.
I cannot wait to work with our amazing students and guide them all on a journey of learning, fun, creativity, critical thinking, and investigation. It is going to be a great year!
