Hello, my name is Melissa Baas and this year is my 18th year teaching. I have been blessed to serve here at CCA and look forward to the new school year! I graduated from Metropolitan State University in 2005 and have been teaching in the RE-3J district ever since. I believe that a child's first grade year is filled with big goals, growth and a lot of amazing memories. I look forward to establishing relationships with my new students and their families.
Outside of the classroom, I have many interests including photography, flower gardening, hiking, camping, four-wheeling, cycling, baking and being crafty. I enjoy art galleries and theater as well. I am a native of Colorado and love living in a place where each sunrise and sunset is breathtaking. At home, our family has many beloved four legged creatures including dogs, goats,and horses.
Here are a few of my favorite things:
Favorite Coffee: I really love any kind of coffee but caramel anything is a soft spot!
Favorite scent of candle: Cinnamon, vanilla or lavender
Favorite Snacks: Almonds, popcorn, fresh fruit
Favorite place to be: The Mountains
