Mrs. Forbus's Biography-
I am Melanie Forbus. I am married to David Forbus, and we have 2 children, Hunter and Caitlynn. Our family has a black lab, Ginger, and a Russian Blue, Holly. My family and I are members of the Alex. City Methodist Church. In my leisure time, I enjoy relaxing at Lake Martin and Orange Beach.
I am thrilled to be Radney's 5th & 6th grade reading intervention teacher. This year will be my 25th year teaching at Radney School. During my career, I have taught reading, language, writing, spelling, handwriting, math, science, and social studies. I have an associate in arts from Central Alabama Community College and a bachelor of science in elementary education from Auburn University at Montgomery. Additionally, I co-sponsor the FCA at Radney & tutor students after school.
My educational belief is that all children can learn and improve with encouragement and discipline. My hope is to inspire and empower my students to take responsibility for their education through goal-setting & hard work. My goal is to equip my students with skills and strategies to become productive citizens as adults.
