HI! My name is Melissa Scopes and I am excited to begin my second year as a Literacy Specialist after being in the classroom for many years. I have been married for 28 years and have 2 boys. Matthew is a sophomore at Auburn and Ryan is a sophomore at Bob Jones High School. We have a 7-year-old chiweenie named Gracie. I love to travel, hike, camp, and 
read.
