This is going to be a wonderful year and I can't wait to get to know everyone. I'm Melissa Lungarini, many of the kids may know me as Ms. Kirby, and this is my 4th year at Long Creek. I absolutely love being a teacher here because the students are the best. They work hard and enjoy learning. I'm looking forward to teaching 1st grade this year for the first time. I taught middle school for 3 years, I've 3rd grade for 5 years, and last year I with 5th grade.
I also like to have fun outside of school. I enjoy watching and playing sports, hiking, and running. I also enjoy relaxing by the lake with a great book and hanging out with my dog Keeler. In the summer I get to spend weeks as a kid myself because I direct a summer camp. So as you can see I love to have and, and I know this year will be a blast! We are going to learn, be active, and smile everyday.
2016-2017 is going to be an AWESOME year!
