Ms. Maria Peters
This is my 5th year at McAuliffe Middle School teaching my favorite subject, MATH. After 28 years in the field of education as both a teacher and supervisor, I could not imagine a more rewarding career. My love for learning and teaching is compounded by the inspiration I receive from my students.
I am a mother of three amazing children each with their unique gifts and challenges. They teach me to be compassionate, empathetic, and caring every day. We enjoy many adventures as a family including our 9 year old labrador retriever, Max.
My family moved to the United States when I was 7 years old. We lived in Portugal, then France, and finally moved to the United States. English was my third language. We have many family members in Portugal & visit as often as possible.
In November 2019, I accomplished one of my bucket list items by running the NYC Marathon with the Autism Speaks team. Our family is blessed with a 13 year old boy with autism. While he does not communicate verbally, he demonstrates perseverence and allows us to be his voice.
