Teacher Tuesday
This is my second year teaching Spanish at Park Maitland. My favorite memory is of the children dancing, singing and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish at the Hispanic Heritage Month Assembly. I love the diversity at Park Maitland, as well as the students' love for learning! Outside of Park Maitland, I enjoy spending time with my family biking, swimming, canoeing and traveling! I also enjoy singing and reading! When I was a freshman in college at TCU, my choir performed at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops. A fun fact is that I lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for 3 1/2 years, where I taught Spanish to international students.

As we are coming to the end of the month, please check now for any unpaid fees. Please be reminded that monthly tuition billing, will load to your account on the 1st of each month. All charges are due by the 5th of the month.  If your family is signed up for ACH, all monthly charges will draft on the 3rd. Late payments will incur a 1.5% late fee charge. We appreciate your efforts and partnership to meet these expectations.  Please do not hesitate to contact the Business Office with any questions and/or concerns.
