Kennedy Art!

Melissa Berlanga lives just west of Schiller Park in Bensenville with her husband and dog.  She received her teaching degree in Art Education from Illinois State University.  Melissa was recently a substitute teacher for Schiller Park, including four months at Lincoln Middle School where she covered for a maternity leave teaching art.  Melissa’s focus in college was in ceramics, but she also enjoys creating many types of art, especially drawing, painting, and fabric art.  Her greatest passion is to guide children to explore art in its many forms through discussion, evaluation, and, of course, creation!  Melissa is thrilled to be joining Kennedy as their K-2 art teacher!
