Maggie Gross 
Greenwood Paraprofessional

 

Maggie joined Wayzata Public Schools as a paraprofessional substitute in the Spring of 2003 and shifted to a full-time para for the 2003-2004 school year. During her 20 years with the district, she has worked as a para at Greenwood Elementary and for seven years with the district’s summer home-based program.

Maggie Gross is a caring professional who will do anything she can to help students be successful. She has poured her heart and soul into our kiddos for many years! Maggie approaches her work with grace and compassion. Her kindness, generosity, and big heart are so inspiring. 

Whether she’s organizing community service projects, connecting with Greenwood families in their homes and community spaces, working one-on-one with students…or helping hundreds of students to have fun during recess each day…she does it all. Maggie has established trust and rapport with countless students. Through it all, she shows up with a positive attitude. 

Maggie recently announced her plans to retire after 20 years with the district. She is an amazing paraprofessional and she will be greatly missed next year!
