Melonye Badida, Alegbra 1 teacher at Conner High School is the October 2013 BREAK THE MOLD Winner.  Melonye's dedication to the students at Conner High School is tremendous. She sponsors cougaretts and spends a huge amount of time afterschool and on weekends during the season. She also stays after with students almost every afternoon. Basically, she will do whatever needs to be done to tutor her students even when it interferes with her own personal time. Of course, she doesn't see it as interference. She also serves as council member because she wants to help make decisions for the benefit of the school, be it staff or student.
She is an Algebra 1 teacher and her collaboration with Ms. Smiley is also a model of what collaboration should be. Additionally, she will bend over backwards to help her colleagues with anything they ask of her, even if it requires her to come in at 6 am so she has time to complete her own work.
Overall, she is an amazing teacher and colleague who loves Conner High School!!
