Congratulations Terrassa Fields
August Teacher of the Month
Ms. Fields has a 2 year old son, Apollo. She comes from a big family, with a total of 9 brothers and sisters and 12 nieces and nephews. She is a co-teacher in Economics classes and also serves as the 504 Coordinator for our main campus. Ms. Fields is in her 8th year at MP. She loves the students and working with them on achieving their goals. She also loves to see her students overcome any academic challenges or obstacles that may prevent them from doing their best. She loves working at MP. “The faculty and staff at MP is like no other, and I truly feel I work with a team of Rockstars.” In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, watching Jeopardy, attending plays, watching movies, and reading when she has the time. She considers herself a “movie buff”. If she could go back in time, she would go back to the 80s. “I love 80s music and have always loved the 80s style of dress.” She likes to have fun with her fashion choices and she said that “the styles then were fun and colorful. I would have also loved to have attended the Prince’s Purple Rain Tour.” If she didn’t have to sleep, she would spend more time with her family and travel more. “When people come to me for help, they are mostly asking for advice on a situation, a listening ear, or asking for prayer.” Her mom has been the greatest influence in her life. “She showed me how to handle tough situations and what it looks like to overcome adversity and come out on top, and with a smile. No matter the situation, she never let it defeat her. She instilled in me that God can handle any situation and to lean on Him always.” What keeps her up at night? “Watching Golden Girls, musicals which I love, and my two-year-old!!” She has always
|

had a passion for outreach and prayer. She is currently the Outreach and Prayer Coordinator for her church. “I love helping people and considered becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist prior to becoming a teacher.” She completed her Master’s program in Marriage and Family Counseling and Human Services but “realized later that my true passion was teaching and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.” |

Congratulations Vanessa Walker
August Support Staff of the Month
Ms. Walker was selected by her peers for this honor. She has worked as a custodian at MP since 2017. She has a fun loving family who loves to have fun, cook, and entertain. She said her family loves people and to help others who are in need. Her favorite part about her job is working with the staff and being around the students. In her spare time she enjoys shopping, dancing, cleaning, and tasting and trying new foods. She also enjoys decorating. If she could go back in time, she would like to go back to the year 2000. "I always wanted to go to New York." If she didn't have to sleep, she would use the extra time to travel, shop, and spend time with her family. People usually come to her when they need a babysitter, or need help cleaning up. She said that her family, especially her daughter (Chimere), has influenced her life the most. What keeps her up at night? The TV! She enjoys meeting people. She enjoys talking and getting to know others. She is willing to help with whatever is needed. "I'm very free hearted and love children. I love to laugh!"
