Ms. Melanie Patena

 HELLO WEST WING 7TH GRADE-MRS. PATENA          

(COACH PATENA’S COUSIN IF THE NAME SOUNDS FAMILIAR)

                            

I am so excited to be part of West Wing School! 

 

I am relocating from the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio.

It has been my honor to have served as a middle school teacher for the past 20 years.

 

 A life-long dream of mine has been to live in the beautiful  

 state of Arizona. 

 

I have two children.

Lauryn, age 19, and Casey, age 18, are now enrolled in college at GCU. Lauryn has just finished as a  first-year student and, lucky for me, she talked her brother into enrolling this fall as he was graduating from high school. 

 

I can not wait to learn about ALL OF YOU as we embark on this new journey together!
