Mrs. Melissa Smith

Hi Jr. Jags!! Welcome to Kindergarten. Mrs. Smith is so happy to be your child's teacher. This is her 4th year at YES and 19th year teaching. She is originally from Oxford, NC. She graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education with a Concentration in Child Studies from East Carolina University in 2004 (Go Pirates!). In her class the students learn through singing, dancing, creating, and jumping on the class trampoline (that’s right, she has a trampoline)! Teaching is her passion and she couldn't imagine doing anything else. Kindergarten is a new and exciting experience, and she can't wait to take that journey with you and your child. She looks forward to great things at Youngsville Elementary. Go Jr. Jags!!!
