ABOUT ME
Hi and Welcome! I am Ms. Maskus, and I am so excited to share my first year at Acadia Junior HIgh with you! I have been teaching Grade 7 for the last few years in the Pembina Trails School Division. I have also taught in rural Manitoba, as well as in Beijing, China.
In addition to teaching, I am very involved in coaching. My passion is for Volleyball, which I still play with friends from my middle school and high school teams.
