Monclova Area Parents (MAPS) is a great way for you to get involved with your child’s school! MAPS is responsible for the fundraising needed to pay for various student field trips and assemblies and to purchase extra items for the teachers, staff and school. MAPS also coordinates various events during the year for children and their families. In order to provide all of these activities we need LOTS of volunteers!
