Recently, Becky Manning, a third grade teacher at Maple Ridge Elementary, was chosen as the Outstanding Educator by the Springville/Mapleton PTA council. According to many of Mrs. Manning's colleagues, she is an amazing teacher for many reasons. Not only does she know her students well, but she does all she can to meet the needs of every individual student in her class. Not only does she have a great rapport with parents and students, but she does with her coworkers as well. She is the school technology specialist and spends countless hours helping teachers with computer issues and also trains others in some of the best teaching practices using technology. We are so blessed to have her here at Maple Ridge!
