Patti Melosh

Hi, my name is Patti Melosh.
I have been teaching third grade at Goldrick since 2003.  Before that I taught second grade at Columbine Elementary.  I started there in 1999.  Before I was hired to teach for DPS I was a substitute teacher.  I subbed one year for Adams District 12 and four years for Knox County Schools in Knoxville, Tennessee.
 
I was born in San Jose, California.  My family (mother, father and older sister) moved to a new state every three years or so as I was growing up. So, I have lived in San Jose, CA, Louisville, KY, Allentown, PA, Bristol, VA, Troy (Detroit), MI, Knoxville, TN and Denver (Westminster), CO.  My family moved to Westminster when I was in ninth grade.  I graduated from Northglenn High School in 1989.  Being 18 and ready to get away from my parents, I decided to go to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.  I finished my Bachelor's Degree (major in Theatre and minor in Elem. Ed.) in 1993.  I student taught during the 1994-95 school year.  I finished my Master's degree (in Curriculum and Instruction) in 1996.  I could have finished in 1995, but I was getting married in August.  I focused on wedding plans during that summer.
 
After subbing in Knoxville for four years and not getting a full-time job, and talking to my mother on a regular basis- She was always saying "Denver needs teachers!"  Mr. Melosh and I moved to the Denver area in 1998.  The rest you could say is history. 
 
I do not have any children except the 25 or so that I have each year at school.  I do have two nephews and one niece.  I have two cats, McLeod and Lilly.  McLeod is a white cat and Lilly is a black cat.  I enjoy reading and cross-stitch.  Mr. Melosh and I are both HUGE Tennessee Volunteer sports fans, especially football.  So, if you are looking for us on a Saturday in the fall, you will find us meeting with the UTK Alumni Association watching the football games.  GO VOLS!
