It was great to be at the Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon to hear Superintendent John Moore speak and to recognize our fabulous teacher of the year, Carla Meloni.
Congratulations to Carla Meloni of Leeds Primary School on being named the 2026 Leeds Area Chamber Teacher of the Year!
Mrs. Meloni, an inclusion kindergarten teacher, was recognized during Thursday’s Leeds Area Chamber luncheon for her outstanding dedication to students and families and for the compassionate, encouraging environment she creates in her classroom each day.
During the presentation, Leeds City Schools Superintendent John Moore and Leeds Primary School Principal Steven Porter praised Mrs. Meloni’s passion for teaching, her commitment to inclusion, and the lasting impact she has on both her students and fellow educators. Mary Beth Lochridge led a Q&A with Mrs. Meloni to help us get to know her better.
Mrs. Meloni received a $500 award sponsored by Heidelberg Materials in recognition of this well-deserved honor.
Thank you, Mrs. Meloni, for the difference you make every day in the lives of Leeds students!
