MOSES LAKE - The Moses Lake School District has named Odessa High School alumna Vickey (Thompson) Melcher its 2019-2020 Board Member of the Year. She is the school board's legislative representative and a champion for the local community. She advocates the needs of the community on behalf of the school district by communicating regularly with the legislative representatives. She conveys to them the importance of public education and of engaging with community stakeholders in support of public education.

Since taking office in 2017, Melcher has played an instrumental role in construction and planning meetings and has been actively involved in planning for graduation. When school closed, she realized that teachers were being asked to step out of their comfort zones and use instructional technology platforms they had possibly never used before. She showed her support by modeling vulnerability and trying technology tools unfamiliar to her. During this time of challenge for students, staff and the community, she has been very visible and supportive.

Vickey is a longtime resident and business owner and a former special education teacher.
