Hello,

My name is Mr. Maldonado and I am a 1st-grade teacher at Beverly Elementary School.  I have been a teacher here at Beverly for 22 years and I have taught a variety of grades including 1st grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade.  I graduated from Western Michigan University where I earned my teaching degree in Elementary Education with a focus on early childhood development.  I recently went back to school and earned my master's degree in teaching from Marygrove College.  

I am a proud member of the Birmingham Education Association and I have served on quite a few committees throughout my years of teaching.  Currently, I help run the Math Pentathlon Program at our school.  At Beverly, we work on getting others to value diversity and to respect our differences.  I volunteer with the local little league and I have helped organize t-ball, coached teams, umpired games, helped build and repair fields, and served on the board as a director.

I am a proud father of two wonderful children.  My daughter Gabriella (10 years old) and my son Leonardo (8 years old) are my pride and joy.  I also must mention my dog Pedro who is now 15 years old.

My favorite subjects to teach are math and science because they are exciting and challenging.  

I have always felt a special connection to the staff, families, and people of Beverly Hills.  

If you ever have any questions or concerns about our school, or about our programs/curriculum please feel free to email me.
