“Ms. Maxfield is such an incredible teacher! She goes the extra mile in helping her kids to succeed. She runs the pro-start program at our school as well as teaching the food and nutrition classes. She gives the kids all the tools they need to be successful and will help them every step of the way, but she also allows them to learn through trial and error. She spends her free time volunteering for programs that her students are part of. She is organized and dedicated. She is encouraging and positive. She has a curriculum and follows it allowing the students to really understand their subject matter and she also allows them to be creative and try new things. She spends hours helping them prep for competitions and guides them along the way. Our school is blessed because she teachers here!”
