Born and raised in the Tri-Cities, Dori Schmelzer has a background in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. She joined us in 2016 as the site coordinator for Team Read at Edison Elementary. Dori is extremely passionate about education and working with children. In her spare time she enjoys her family and her two darling children.

My favorite childrens' book is "The Poky Little Puppy". I have very fond memories of my mom and aunt reading this to me as a young child. This book was also given to my children as a gift from my aunt that has since passed away. A truly great book about independence and noticing the seemingly little things in life.
