About Mrs. RushMy name is Melissa Rush and I am your child’s 2nd grade teacher. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you.
This is my sixth year at Plato Academy. I am a graduate of St. Petersburg College with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, as well as a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership. I have had the privilege to enjoy several opportunities working with children in the area of teaching. Through employment and internships I have also been able to teach in 1st-5th grade at various elementary schools in Pinellas County. I come to the classroom with a passion and desire to educate the young minds of today! A little about my home life... I am married to Ian (Mr. Rush) and we have 3 gorgeous pooches Koda (13 years old), Cali (7 years old), and Kira (1 year old). In my spare time I enjoy RELAXING, reading books, swimming and enjoying the outdoors. I also have a passion for travel! Exploring new places, meeting new people and trying new food is my favorite part of traveling! |
This summer I had the opportunity to travel around Iceland. This is me in front of Selfoss!
