Mrs. Melissa Ramirez
Lead Teacher • 2nd & 3rd Grade
Hello! I’m Mrs. Kelly, and I am so thankful God has called me to serve families through Growing In Grace Academy. With over 15 years of experience working with children in preschool, elementary education, learning support, and special education, my passion is helping every child feel known, loved, and excited to learn.
I believe every child is uniquely created by God with incredible gifts and purpose. My goal is to create a joyful, Christ-centered classroom where students grow academically, spiritually, and personally through hands-on learning, meaningful relationships, and encouragement.
As both a teacher and a mom, I understand how important it is to find a school where your child is genuinely cared for. At Growing In Grace Academy, we partner closely with families to help children build confidence, character, and a lifelong love of learning.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.”
— Numbers 6:24–26

Mrs. Gina Kelly
Founder • Director • Kindergarten & 1st Grade Teacher
At Growing In Grace Academy, we believe the right teacher can have a lifelong impact on a child. Every teacher on our team is carefully chosen for their love of Christ, passion for teaching, and commitment to helping children grow academically, spiritually, and personally.
Our teachers are more than educators—they are mentors, encouragers, and partners with families. We intentionally seek teachers who create joyful, Christ-centered classrooms where every child is known, loved, and challenged to grow.
Mrs. Ramirez is excited to join the Growing In Grace Academy family for the 2026–2027 school year. She brings a heart for children, a passion for Christ-centered education, and a love for helping students grow both academically and spiritually.
She is committed to creating a joyful, engaging classroom where every child feels known, encouraged, and challenged to reach their God-given potential. We are thankful to welcome Mrs. Ramirez to our team and look forward to the impact she will have on our students and families.
