Here’s what Allie had to say about Melissa:
What sets this teacher apart from others?
Ms. Agar is a wonderful woman throughout the whole musical time period and even losing 30 hours of rehearsal time she had faith in us! She helped push us to make us become the better people we are today! She also stands for her students, when they have a problem she is always there for us! I believe that she is so deserving of this title!!
What is one thing this teacher does that is not in their job description but they do it anyway to help you or your child?
She is always there no matter the time of day if you have a problem she will be there for you! She doesn’t have to be she always does! No matter who it may be!
Give an example of a way this teacher has helped or impacted you or your child
She helped me when I was stressing about the musical she sat down with me and told me how much she believed in me and how deserving I was for the part over all she is a great woman!
