Congratulations to Mrs. Mary Rowe!
We are proud to celebrate Mrs. Rowe, a dedicated CMS Special Education teacher with 22 years in education.
Mrs. Rowe chose teaching because of her lifelong passion for supporting individuals with disabilities. She believes in empowering her students to express themselves, build independence, and take an active role in their school community. Her favorite part of the job is watching her introverted students blossom into confident, outgoing learners.
A fun fact about her is that she and her students run the beloved Cougar Café—even though she doesn’t like the taste or smell of coffee!
If she weren’t a teacher, she’d be a recreation therapist, and when she’s not at school, you can find her relaxing by combing the beach for shark teeth.
Her life motto:
💬 “Every day is a good day, some are just better than others.”
Join us in celebrating Mrs. Rowe for her dedication, heart, and the incredible impact she makes at CMS! 💙🐾

✨ Teacher Tuesday Spotlight ✨
This week we’re celebrating Mrs. Samantha Cato, Sugarmill Elementary's Teacher of the Year--a passionate 5th Grade ELA teacher with 10 years in education!
Mrs. Cato became a teacher because she has always loved working with children and wanted to be the supportive guide she once needed—especially as someone who struggled with reading growing up. She now inspires her students to build confidence and discover a love for books. Her favorite part of teaching is reading aloud and watching her students connect deeply with stories.
A fun fact about Mrs. Cato: she’s seen 30 Broadway shows! When she isn’t teaching, she enjoys baking, listening to audiobooks while crocheting, and relaxing on the beach with loved ones.
Inspired by Esther 4:14, Mrs. Cato believes educators are called to lead with purpose, grace, and courage “for such a time as this.”
Help us celebrate Mrs. Cato and the heart she brings to her students each day! 🌟

This week, we are proud to celebrate Mrs. Jaime Maroon, our dedicated 1st Grade Teacher at David L. Rainer Elementary with 22 years in education!
Mrs. Maroon became a teacher because she loves working with children and wanted to make a positive impact in their lives. She finds the greatest joy in those special “light bulb” moments—when a student finally grasps a new concept and beams with pride as they show what they’ve learned.
A fun fact: Mrs. Maroon played women’s professional tackle football for the Jacksonville Dixie Blues for 11 years—and she’s a Super Bowl Champ! 🏆💪 If she weren’t teaching, she’d be a fitness instructor, which fits perfectly with her favorite way to unwind: a good run or workout.
Her favorite motto: “Feel the fear and do it anyways!” 🌟

Board Vice-Chairman Allison Murray shared what she’s grateful for:
“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to serve on the Camden County Board of Education. Growing up here shaped who I am, and it means so much to give back to the community I love. With so many people I love teaching in our schools and my daughter learning in the system, this role is close to my heart. I’m grateful to be part of helping Camden County continue to grow and thrive!”
