My name is Melanie Weaver and I am excited to be begin another year at P. L. Dunbar! Kindergarten represents a crucial first step in a lifetime of success for your child and so it is very important that parents, teachers, and administrators work together to help these young scholars blossom into the leaders of tomorrow. It will not be easy for any of us, but if we cooperate your child can achieve more than you thought possible—who knows maybe one day your son or daughter may even be president!

            Since we will be working so closely together this year let me tell you a little more about myself and feel free to tell me about yourself and your family as we get to know each other. I’m a native Rhode Islander who graduated with honors from Salve Regina University with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood in Education as well as a Master’s Degree from UNE for Reading Specialist. I have 20 years of experience teaching young children and helping them achieve their full potential.

            In my spare time I like to travel, sew, shop, and bake! My favorite animal is the koala bear. My favorite colors are purple and green. I like Mickey Mouse and love to go to Disney World in Orlando, Florida where my family lives. Thank you very much for all your hard work and I look forward to a wonderful 2024-2025 school year!
