Hello, my name is Maryam Fareed, and I’m excited to begin my third year of teaching at ACPS. I look forward to guiding the children as they grow and learn in Prep A this year.
When I’m not in the classroom, I love spending time with my family, traveling, and exploring new cultures. I also enjoy baking in my spare time. These passions inspire my teaching and help create a fun, engaging, and curious learning environment for the students.
