Melissa Nease has been chosen as “Parent of the Month” for December at Rincon Elementary School.

She has one student in first grade and two students in fourth grade. Nease always welcomes the opportunity to give her time and is very eager to help out wherever she is needed. Nease appreciates the fact that RES encourages parental involvement such as volunteering in her children’s classrooms.  It allows parents the opportunity to help their children learn.  She takes an active role in her children’s education, but more importantly, she cares about the other students in the classroom as well.

In addition to supporting her children at school, Nease is also very active with them at home. She works with her children individually on academic skills and chauffeurs them to all sporting events.

“I have a big family, which includes six kids,” she said, “and I am very involved in their lives. I always put my children first, and I think that is what makes me a good parent.”

When asked what her ambition is for her children, Nease said, “for my children to achieve all of their dreams and goals they set for themselves.”
