On Friday, January 21, THV11 came out to Maumelle Middle to highlight the extraordinary efforts our teachers and instructional administrators are having to do right now during the pandemic.
Since we have so many staff out due to illness right now, many instructional admin are stepping up to do the teaching. Mr. Mark Smith stepped up in such a case at Maumelle Middle and it caught a lot of positive engagement on the school's Facebook page.
