Melody Ridnour Preschool Instructor
My husband and I met in college and moved to Morgan County in 2014 to raise our two daughters in a smaller community. In my free time I enjoy reading, running, swimming, working out, hiking, trying new activities and exploring places. Growing up I participated in recreational gymnastics prior to discovering a passion for running and competitive swimming. Even though I stopped doing gymnastics, the love for this sport has continued throughout my life. Skills learned in gymnastics are utilized in other sports and in life. When my girls were doing gymnastics, I would help them practice the skills that they were learning at home. Watching my girls improve their gymnastics skills and see their excitement was extremely rewarding. I realized that I enjoy helping children learn new skills and accomplish goals. I’m excited to join the High Plains Gymnastics team to further this new found love!
