Dear Students and Parents, My name is Melissa Crotts. I have taught at Township Three for seven years. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Masters degree in Elementary Education. I was born and raised here in Shelby, NC. When I was a young girl I enjoyed playing the piano, dancing, and playing school with my younger sisters. My younger sisters are all grown up now. My sister, MaryBeth, is a nursing student at ECU. My sister, Katie, is in the Army. She is my hero and one of the bravest people I know! I lOVE snow. Winter is my favorite season. There is nothing better than building a snowman, sledding down an icy hill, and warming up with a delicious cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. Cupcakes, Christmas time, Boone, shoes, and music are a few of my favorite things. I love teaching and working with the students at Township Three. I am looking forward to a fabulous year! Sincerely, Ms. Crotts |
