“Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be.” – Rita Pierson
Welcome to Pre-K, 2nd, and 4th Grade Learning Lab! My name is Cindy Melissa Blood-Bernal, better known as Ms. Melissa. I believe in the growth mindset, knowing that every child can learn and develop in their own way. I am here to support students on their successful educational journey. My planning time is 11:45 a.m. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me by calling the school at 337-461-2687 and leaving a message or via email at [email protected].
