Dear Families,
In honor of Black History Month, Tank Chavous, a Super Senior, made a video for us speaking about his father, Lee Chavous. Mr. Chavous has written several children's books on African American history. Tank also reads and discusses a passage from one of his father's books, If You Don't Know Your History, You Are Doomed To Repeat It. You will be blown away by Tank's discussion, poise, and pride in his heritage and his father's work. I am very proud to introduce Tank Chavous and his Student Voices segment.
Enjoy the Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, and the President's Day weekend.
Very Warmly,
Davina Spillmann

SUPERSTAR TEACHER OF THE WEEK |
|
This is my 22nd year teaching and my 4th year at Park Maitland. I absolutely LOVE teaching 2nd grade math! Each day brings new experiences and fun memories to cherish.
I've made so many great memories in my short time here. However, my favorite memory is the first time I saw Mrs. Johnson's classroom set up for Polar Express. I entered and was immediately transported onto a train headed to the North Pole. It's a magical experience I get to relive each year!
When not at school, I'm usually attending one of my 3 girls sporting events or activities. Other favorites on the weekends are spending time with family, walking our dog Aspen, biking, and planning our next adventure for the upcoming summer. We are big into road trips and have visited 44 of the 50 states!

Hungry to help ambassadors and Dr. Courson delivered over 2,000 servings of peanut butter and milk to the students at Killarney Elementary School. This generous amount donated by the Park Maitland families will help provide meals for 41 families each week for the remainder of the school year. A big thank you to all the families in teaching Park Maitland students to "Spread the Love". |
