Where Are They Now: Sadie Melderis (Dowsland)
Meet Sadie Melderis (Dowsland), Oneida CSD alumna from the Class of 1999.
Sadie’s favorite memories from her time at OCSD are the moments spent driving to practice with her friends. Those rides were filled with laughter, singing and dancing, creating memories she still cherishes today. She gives a special thank you to all of her older friends who provided rides and to Catherine for always being the best DJ in her Volkswagen Golf.
Following graduation, Sadie attended the University of South Florida, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in education.
Today, Sadie is a second-grade teacher at Southside Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, where she continues to inspire and support students through her passion for education.
To future graduates, Sadie offers this advice: "My advice is to focus on the good things in life. Enjoy every moment and take time to experience new things."
