“From the minute Melissa Parent Mickiewicz walked into my classroom many years ago, I knew she was someone special. Caring, generous, supportive, kind, selfless… I could go on & on. Melissa was that above and beyond person. She gave her heart and soul to our students day and night, weekdays and weekends. She volunteered with my Challenger Team on Sundays because she loved seeing the joy in the kiddos faces when they scored a touchdown or a goal. We shared laughs and tears. Together, we made many firsts happen for our amazing students. And together, along with our incredible team, we got our students through an unimaginable tragedy, the loss of their classmate Teddy.
My heart is shattered into a million pieces. Not only have I lost an incredible colleague, but I lost one of my very best friends. Heaven is shining brighter. My students and I have another beautiful angel to watch over us”
