Tiffany Barlow

This is my 8th year at the Butler Middle School. History is one of my favorite subjects so thrilled to be teaching Social Studies to our 5th graders.  I am an avid traveler and love to immerse myself in the culture of the countries I visit.  In my free time, I love to read, take hikes with my dog, spend time with friends & family, and cheer on our New England sports teams.

This is my 21st year teaching at the Butler!  I was a special education teacher for 17 years with a focus on reading and writing.  Currently, I teach 5th grade ELA, which I absolutely love!  Fun facts about me include that I have 3 kids, 2 cats and grew up in rural Tennessee.  I love to run and share my love for running by helping coach the cross country program at Butler.

Hello, I'm Mrs. Mele! This is my 4th year teaching math in Lowell, and my first year teaching at the Butler. I love math, and am excited to help our 5th graders have their aha moments! When I am not at school, I like to spend my time reading, baking, and doing crafts. I love taking walks outside and going to the beach when the weather is nice.
