Maple Grove Elementary School

Jeffco Public Schools

Charmaine Makatura
I was born in Manhattan, Kansas. We moved to Colorado just shortly after I turned 1yr. My Dad got his first teaching position with Jeffco Schools At Wheat Ridge Jr. We lived in Colorado til I was done with 3rd grade then we moved to Texas for a year. After being in Texas for a year my dad could find a good teaching job so my parents packed up the family and we moved back to Colorado. As a child I attended many Jeffco Schools and was in Learning Special Ed Classes. I graduated from Wheat Ridge High school in 1982. After Graduating I met my husband and we got married in 1985. My employment started in 1989 with working in the preschool/ childcare field. In 2002 I got on with Jeffco Schools  preschool  program working in preschool. I changed my career path to being a Parapro. My husband and myself are both working at Maple Grove Elementary. Go GRIZZLIES!
