Hi! My name is Melissa McDonald and I am so excited to get to teach ALE at Hardy Oak! This is my 9th year in education, 7th year at Hardy Oak, and 3rd year teaching ALE. Prior to teaching ALE, I have taught Kinder through 3rd Grade Special Education at Hardy Oak, and was a Preschool Director and Teacher in Virginia. I have a feeling this will be the best year yet!

I have lived in San Antonio for 6 years, after living in Virginia and Tennessee. I graduated from Radford University in Virginia with a Bachelors Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education. I graduated with a Masters Degree in Education, also from Radford University.

I spend a lot of time with my family, niece and nephew, and two cats. I enjoy photography, craft projects, and road trips.
