Set Design. Melanie Davis has created and inspired students with set design for three years. Ms. Davis has the joy of teaching kindergarten through fifth grade art, in addition to middle school electives. She loves set design because it enhances the creativity of theater students and enables them to fully embrace their roles. Ms. Davis would like to thank her fiance, Kevin and her oldest son, Brayden for their assistance in creating the larger set pieces for this year’s production. While Ms. Davis is not at school, she loves spending time with her children and animals. She enjoys being creative and her passion for art is found in almost everything she does. She is grateful to Angela, Katrina and Morgan for giving her the creative freedom to help bring the stage to life.
