My name is Melissa Leon. I am entering my 10th year of teaching. Prior to coming to Concordia, I taught 2nd grade at Trinity Lutheran School in Merrill, WI for three years and 3rd/4th grade at St. Paul's West Allis for two years. It’s been a joy being back in 2nd grade! I have been blessed to attend Lutheran schools all my life. I went to grade school at Hales Corners Lutheran and then Martin Luther High School. Continuing with the Lutheran school trend, I went to Concordia University Wisconsin and graduated in 2011 with a double-major in Elementary Education and Lay Ministry/Theology.  “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Psalm 118:1Some of my hobbies include playing tennis, swimming, watching and unofficially training for American Ninja Warrior, music (playing the trombone, handbells, organ, and piano), and getting involved in a plethora of church activities.I count myself blessed that I have the opportunity to serve at Concordia Lutheran School. To God Be the Glory!
