Mrs. Christina Maysonette
When you're not working, how do you like to spend your time?
When I am not working I love to read and enjoy films.
What does success mean to you?
Success to me is being someone students can relate to, trust, and gain the knowledge and confidence that I hope to impart to serve them well in Middle School and in the years to come.
What energizes you and brings you excitement?
I derive energy and excitement when I witness that magic moment in class when a student realizes they deeply understand something and find new confidence within themselves to reach higher and put doubt aside, when they believe they can do it!

Interesting Facts:
I am one of five girls in my family. In my spare time, I love attending FSU sporting events, spending time with my family and listening to my two girls talk about life. Sometime in the near future, I am going to visit Ireland to explore my family history. I hate to admit this, but my biggest fear is heights. :(
