Park Maitland really has some amazing children! If you haven't followed Pressley Meek's story, she was featured on NBC's Today Show about her extraordinary love for dance. This summer, Pressley has been accepted into the summer program of American Ballet Theatre! You can read the article about her this month in AWSLife, "Dancing Circles Around Cerebral Palsy" at this link. Way to go, Pressley!

This is my 5th year at Park Maitland. I am a Teacher Assistant for K5. I love being able to work with all the students in kindergarten. I really enjoy getting to know each child.
My favorite event at Park Maitland has always been the Toys for Tots assembly. It’s admirable to see the Park Maitland community come together to help those in need!
Outside of school I love spending time with my daughter, Lilly, and our 2 cats, Nala and Snow. Lilly and I love to go to Disney, and we enjoy hanging out with friends and family. I also love crafting and photography!
