Mrs. Melissa Wiant
My name is Melissa Wiant and this is my seventh year teaching fifth grade at Gamewell Elementary. I have taught at GES for a total of 14 years now. My entire teaching career spans 22 years. I have experience in every elementary grade level. I enjoy reading in my free time and helping with the Battle of Books team. I also enjoy photography as a hobby. I have been married to my husband Gary for 20 years. We are both originally from West Virginia, and moved to North Carolina in 1998. We have 2 children, Brandon and Sarah. Brandon is a sophomore at Western Carolina University, majoring in mechanical engineering. He races dirt bikes in his free time and also enjoys mountain biking and road cycling. Sarah is a freshman at West Caldwell High School. She is on the cheerleading squad, and also races dirt bikes. We have 2 cats, and 2 dogs named Cooper and Buddy. I look forward to a wonderful year!
