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

The upcoming holiday season is filled with excitement, but it can also be a time when some of our families need a little extra support. 💛 🎙 In our newest episode of Amplified, we sit down with Lisa Kerry, one of our Family & Community Engagement (FACE) specialists and Nischelle Buffalow from Buffalow Family and Friends to talk about partnership, compassion, and how our community works together to make sure no one feels alone this season. 🎧 Hear the stories, learn how to access support, and discover ways to get involved at cpschools.com/amplified or wherever you get your podcasts. #EmpowerCPS #CPSCelebrates
Last week, our first graders enjoyed a fun + spooky morning learning! 👻 They tackled Fear Factor Math and crafted their own Lava Lamp Monsters during a fun STEM rotation! Ms. Snipp and Ms. Lemm partnered up to bring engaging learning and excitement to their classrooms on Halloween.
We are so proud of our creative teachers and bright students!
Check out all the action and read about the fun activities they completed on our school website! 👇
