Bobcats Athletic Weekly Schedule
Today we celebrate the heart of our school—our nurse! Thank you for the care, compassion, and calm you bring to every situation. From bandaging scrapes to offering reassurance, your impact goes far beyond the clinic. We appreciate all you do to keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn. Happy Nurse Appreciation Day Emily Russell! 🩺💙
This week we celebrate our amazing teachers at St. Marys Middle School and the impact they have on our students and community.
Monday afternoon we recognized 4 specific staff members.
Teacher of the Year – Mrs. Jennifer Stein
Support Person of the Year – Mrs. Charlotte Marr
Rookie of the of the Year – Mr. Daniel Slone
Culture Changer of the Year – Mrs. Katie Elkins
Teacher of the Year
Mrs. Jennifer Stein was selected by her peers as the St. Marys Middle School Teacher of the Year. She is in her very first year at St. Marys Middle School and has had a profound impact on our school. Not only is she an excellent 7th grade science teacher, she also fully embraced WIN time and used it to change students lives and the culture of our school. She worked with the high school to develop and implement a student-led project to bring Sadie’s Closet to St. Marys Middle School. Under Mrs. Stein’s leadership and guidance, students developed a plan, presented it to the principal, raised money, and renovated a room into an amazing space for students in need and students who have unexpected mishaps find clothes, shoes, and personal care products. The students love Mrs. Stein, the staff loves Mrs. Stein, and she will represent our school well as she competes for the Camden County Schools Teacher of the Year.
Support Person of the Year
Mrs. Charlotte Marr is the St. Marys Middle School Office Manager and Bookkeeper. Although she loves working behind the scenes, her impact can be seen everywhere in our school. She fully embraced the Bobcat Culture and has worked hard to help us pinch pennies, spend wisely, and make the most out of the school funds we have. She orchestrated the purchase Bobcat Culture sign that meets all students, parents, and guest when they enter the school by organizing school funds, external stakeholder donations, and community member support. In addition, she has helped us to get our parent greeting area improved, our student services area improved, our media center improved, our hallways and cafeteria improved, and a permanent sound system in our cafeteria. She also serves on our Sunshine committee and makes sure we recognize our staff members throughout the year, provide breakfast and meals for staff to welcome them back to school, provide flowers and cards for staff members who have lost loved ones, and runs the entire front office. She is pretty amazing, and we are so excited to recognize her for all she has done.
Rookie of the Year
Teachers must have at least three years of experience to be considered for Teacher of the Year so we are always excited to recognize our new teachers for their extraordinary impact. Mr. Daniel Slone is our Band Director, and he is nothing short of amazing. Students love his classroom and will work hard to meet his high standards. Mr. Slone has improved our school culture. He has band students at football games, basketball games, and at our Pep Rally. Our band has been recognized for excellence with multiple awards and accomplishments. Mr. Slone serves on multiple committees and is continually looking for opportunities to make our school Outperform.
Culture Change of the Year
This is the first time this award has ever been given at St. Marys Middle School. We decided as a staff that we would have a common vision as a school and we describe it as Bobcat Culture (Believe, Outperform, Build Up, Community, Accountable, Transform). If you walk through our school, you will see that it has been transformed visually. All throughout the school you can see posters, decorations, and improvements that capture the many activities of our school and our Bobcat Culture. The administrative offices, the gym hallway, the cafeteria, the rotunda, the PBIS walls, all have been made amazing in appearance because of the hard work of Mrs. Katie Elkins. Mrs. Elkins has made designs that capture the many special things that our school accomplishes. Everywhere you look in St. Marys Middle School, you will see the imprint of her dedication and excellence. She has turned the vision of Bobcat Culture into a visual reality in our school.
