My name is Melanie Wells, and I have been teaching since 2011. I earned my Bachelor’s in elementary education from USC and my M.Ed from the American College of Education.  I also have my Masters +30.   I am Elementary and Middle-Level ELA certified and have my Gifted and Talented Endorsement. I am married and have two sons.  We have a rescue dog and two horses.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and being outdoors.  I am excited to be teaching 8th grade at Beechwood this year!
