Nominated by Ashley Daley

Melissa Slicker is a shining example of all CCPS core values. She is exceptionally skilled in collaborating and communicating with her colleagues and students. Melissa is always the first to share any new ideas she comes across and any new platforms she learns about, and she is always prepared to assist anyone in learning and applying that new material. If Melissa doesn’t know an answer, which is rare, she will find the answer for you! In between her many roles and responsibilities, such as Senior Class Sponsor and PPC Co-Chair, she recently kickstarted a new initiative at LBHS, “What’s good with Lemon Bay?,” a weekly email chain which LBHS staff can reply-all to with good news and updates on our school, classrooms, and students. It has fostered a sense of community and pride, bolstering the already strong sense of positivity at Lemon Bay. Melissa is a skilled English teacher whose communication and collaboration is central to the success of not only her classroom or her department, but the success of the school as a whole.
