First day, best day!
Welcome to MVES, Ms. Russell!
Hi! My name is Lacey Russell, and I am excited to be the new interventionist. I am joining you from Elvin Hill, where I had the privilege of working for the past 11 years. During that time, I developed a true passion for helping students grow and succeed. Outside of school, I am the proud mom of three amazing children. I am very active in my church, serve on the board of a nonprofit organization, and enjoy giving back to my community whenever I can. Helping others has always been a passion of mine, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue doing that in this new role. I can’t wait to get to know everyone and see what this school year has in store. I am so thankful and excited for this opportunity, and I look forward to working with all of you!

Welcome to MVES, Coach Millsap!
Hey Meadow View family! 👋
I’m Kendall Millsap, and I’m so excited to join Coach Spain in the gym this year! I’ve been in education for the last 10 years and certified in PE because I love staying active and working with students of all ages. I’m an Auburn undergrad alum, completed my master's at Montevallo, and am a proud mom to three daughters. When I’m not in PE, you can usually find me reading, catching a live concert, heading to the beach, or spending time with family and friends. Looking forward to an incredible, fun-filled year ahead! 👟📚☀️
