🎉 We're proud to celebrate Teacher of the Year Finalist: Karly Lemm! 🎉
For 8 years, Ms. Lemm has been pouring her heart into educating the next generation. Currently, a first grade teacher at Deep Creek Central, this Indian River High Class of 2013 graduate and JMU degree holder knows what matters most: the beautiful relationships and trust she builds with every student and family. "No matter what happens, I'm always in their corner."
Her advice? "Learning follows connection. Create a safe space where students feel loved first. They have to feel it to believe it."
When she's not teaching, she's curled up with a good book, cheering on her favorite teams, or making memories with family and friends.
Congratulations, Ms. Lemm! 💜🤍 #CPSCelebrates #CPSTOY2026

Fall fun meets serious math in Mrs. Maio’s first grade class! 🎃
Our amazing Hornets weren't just carving pumpkins; they were practicing essential skills! They worked on estimation, grouping seeds into tens, skip counting, and even created a tally chart and bar to vote on which face Mrs. Maio should carve into the pumpkin
We love seeing this much hands-on learning! Which pumpkin face do you think won the class vote?
