Teacher Spotlight: RI's Melanie Rivera 'Goes Above And Beyond'

RHODE ISLAND — Great teachers matter. In Rhode Island, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Melanie Rivera.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from an anonymous co-worker who nominated Melanie Rivera.

How do you know the teacher?

I’ve known her for more than 15 years

What does this person teach?

Teaches pre-school

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

She goes above and beyond in her teaching, her care for the children, and is her passion to work with children other than her own. She’s a role model. She teaches with a caring heart. And I have seen all this throughout the years.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

In our center we have two sides of preschools we have a Headstart side and a preschool/pre-k side, she teaches at the/K side. Her work is spectacular, she prepares the children for their journey to kindergarten learning, with knowledge of what will be expected for them to succeed.

This content is brought to our community in partnership with T-Mobile.

Revolution Wind developers seek second court order against Trump administration

Revolution Wind developers are asking a federal judge to bar the Trump administration from suspending work on the already 87% completed offshore wind project off Rhode Island’s coast, arguing the Dec. 22 federal order is a constitutional overreach. If work does not resume by Jan. 12, the project may not meet mandated completion deadlines.

Rhode Island GOP chairman Joe Powers to step down Jan. 15

Journal Staff

Rhode Island Republican Party chairman Joe Powers will resign effective Jan. 15, the party announced on Saturday, Jan. 3.

“Chairman Powers is stepping down due to the increased demands of his professional workload and an extensive travel schedule that no longer allow him to give the Chairmanship the full attention the position requires,” the party said in a news release. “The role of Chairman demands constant focus, and daily engagement especially moving into an election year, neither of which Chairman Powers can provide at this time.”

Powers a, real estate agent and unsuccessful 2022 candidate for a Cranston Senate seat, was elected to lead the state’s Republican Party in March 2023. He was reelected to a second two-year term in March.

During his tenure, Powers “oversaw meaningful organizational progress, including the successful update of the Party’s ByLaws and the full staffing of Party committees for the first time in over 20 years, establishing a strong and durable foundation heading into the next election cycle,” the GOP news release said.

Powers will remain on the GOP’s state Central Committee as chairman emeritus and will “continue to support Rhode Island Republicans in a smaller capacity,” the release said, thanking him “for his leadership and service.”
