Hello Explorer Families,

My name is Melissa Poth, and this is my 22nd year teaching Kindergarten at Trinity Elementary. I truly enjoy teaching; I couldn’t imagine doing anything else! I graduated from USF in 2002 and have lived in the area since 2001. I am originally from Miami, Florida. My family still lives down south, and they like to visit as often as possible. My husband Steven and I have two daughters, Paisley (9 years old in 4th grade this year at TES) and Penelope (5 years old in Kindergarten this year at TES). Our sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Molly, makes us a happy family of five!

I am looking forward to a wonderful school year, exploring new topics, and learning together!
