Melina Nobusada

1ST GRADE TEACHER
melina.nobusada@ousd.org

Hi all! My name is Melina Nobusada (Ms. Nobusada or Ms. N), and I am the new first grade teacher here at Thornhill. The last name may look familiar to some in the community, and that is because my great-aunt taught Kindergarten here for many years. She was the one who first introduced me to this wonderful community. I came to visit her class for a week and knew that this was somewhere I wanted to come back to.

For the past two years, I have worked at Thornhill in different capacities. I started out as an instructional aide and then came back mid-year this past school year as a STIP sub. I am so excited to start this upcoming year as a classroom teacher. It has been a dream of mine to have my own classroom. My love of the teaching profession came about because I was fortunate enough to have so many incredible teachers and coaches in my educational career. Once I found my passion, I began volunteering with students as much as I could—​volunteering in classrooms K-3, tutoring, working at a preschool, and more.
