New Teacher Librarian: Mrs. Terry-Ann Whitfield
I have been teaching for sixteen years and seven of those years were happily spent teaching at West Maple Elementary. My hobbies include playing tennis, biking and listening to music. My husband, son and I enjoy spending time with our family. I have a passion for teaching and learning. With your help this year, I feel confident in knowing that your child will flourish and achieve the many goals that I have set for them. Again, I am very excited about the start of the school year.
