Hi, my name is Melanie Burgess and I currently teach both Physical Education and Health. I am in my 12th year of teaching 5th and 6th graders. This is my 8th year at Morse Pond School. I previously taught for 4 years in Connecticut. I graduated from Central Connecticut State University, majoring in Physical Education/Health, with a minor in Psychology. I received my Master's degree from Northcentral University in Sports Management & Leadership. I have been married for almost 9 years and have two energetic boys named Finn (4) and Rhys (2). I enjoy being outside, especially going to the beach.
