About Me
Hi! My name is Melody Stewart Pacheco, and I am so excited to be teaching 2nd grade at Schwarzkopf this year! I just got married over the summer, and my husband and I live in Tampa with our 3-year-old Labrador Retriever, Sunny. I grew up in Georgia, but we recently moved to Florida to be closer to our families. When I'm not at school, I LOVE to read, spend time outdoors, explore new restaurants, travel, scrapbook, and see my family and friends.

Why I Chose Education
I loved going to school as a student, and I am passionate about learning and teaching others. I always wanted to be a teacher. Children are so special. They are excited about life, willing to learn and try new things, FUN, they forgive so easily, and they love unconditionally. I want to surround myself with people who will motivate me to become a better person, and the children motivate me every day. I might be teaching academics, but they teach me SOO much more about living a full life.
