Erica Maus, Adaptive PE Teacher

Erica, what do you enjoy most about working for Wayne Westland?  My favorite part about working in Wayne-Westland is the people! I love working with a wide range of students at Roosevelt-McGrath and helping them get active and smile or laugh daily. It is inspiring to see their improvement throughout the year(s). We also have amazing staff members that truly care about the students and support each other like a family. It is a new adventure every day and I am thankful to be surrounded by awesome people.

Mark Watson Thoughts: Erica is a shining star among our amazing staff.Erica teaches Adaptive PE in the McGrath wing of Roosevelt-McGrath.

Erica is a natural leader and always puts students' best interests first. Erica makes everyone better.
