My name is Melissa Bjerke and this is my 14th year of teaching and eigth year at Mississippi. I have taught fourth-grade, fifth-grade, and eighth-grade Language Arts.

 

I graduated from Bemidji State University with a degree in Elementary Education. My teaching experience motivated me to go back to school and obtain an additional license in English as a Second Langauge at Hamline University.

 

I have been married for eight years.  My husband, John, and I keep busy at home with our daughters, Aliyah and Samantha, and dog, Juliet.  I spend most of my free time with my family outdoors, walking, and reading.

 

Thank you for your support!
