This morning, Melanie Britton’s first hour class was interrupted by attorney Mark Breyer. Breyer was there to present a giant check in the amount of $250.00 and a Teacher Appreciation recognition plaque to Britton, the Music Director at Sandra Day O’Connor High School. After learning that multiple nominations came in from both parents and students, an emotional Britton received a standing ovation from the class. Britton will also receive a feature spot on The Husband and Wife Billboards for a day and her students will receive a celebratory pizza party. Congratulations to this month’s winner MELANIE BRITTON!

Aside from the multiple nominations received from parents…it was the students’ testimonials that helped give Ms. Britton a win. “She’s a tremendous teacher who teaches us students’ discipline, respect, the value of each day, and the importance of music.”
Britton’s accomplishments include band performances in the Fiesta Bowl Parade, the Holiday Bowl halftime show, as well as the pre-game and halftime performance in the XLIX Super Bowl. “She’s molded all of her students into kids who believe they can succeed in anything they want to do in their lives and is indelibly the most extraordinary person I’ve ever met.”
