We want to welcome Mrs. Melissa VanDusseldorp to the Trenton R-9 School District! Mrs. VanDusseldorp will be a counselor at Trenton Middle School. Who or what inspired you to become a teacher? “I had several people influence my decision to become an educator and counselor. For example, my coaches and a few teachers always encouraged me to continue to push myself to be better and my parents for believing I could. As I grew older, I remembered some classmates didn't have that encouragement of support from home or at school for whatever the reasons though they could have been just as good or better than those that had the encouragement. I always wanted to give back and also reach those who get left behind.” Tell us about your path to a career in education: “I always wanted to teach. Even when I was little, I always got to be the teacher when playing with my friends. (Ok, I might have told them if I did not get to be the teacher I wouldn't play.) When I was in high school, I was a lifeguard for three years. Teaching kids and adults how to swim and watching them apply what I taught them for successful swimming confirmed in my mind that I wanted to teach on a regular basis. At my previous school, I started an at-risk program; however, I was given so many classes to teach that I only had one hour to work with those that needed extra encouragement and patience. In order to have more time to work with those needing someone to believe in them, I decided to earn a second master's degree in school counseling with licensure and have been a counselor ever since.” What are you the most excited about or looking forward to this year? “I am excited to have been given the opportunity to join the Trenton R9 team and am looking forward to getting to know all the students, coworkers, and community!”

After that I taught second grade at Rissler for two years. I then went to Hamilton (Penney High School) and taught second grade one year and fifth grade for two years while also coaching high school volleyball.
