Staff Member of the Week
Join us as we celebrate our staff members each week. Meet Ms. Weber.
Hi Cameron families! My name is Caroline Weber. I am the School Based Technology Specialist (which means I work with staff and students on awesome technology-integrated learning experiences), and part-time 5th grade teacher. This is my 4th year at Cameron - I previously taught 4th and 5th grades. I recently took a trip to the Netherlands, which was extremely exciting! I love going for long walks around town, trying new restaurants, playing with my dog, and reading. I attended school at Univeristy of Maryland and George Mason University, and am originally from New Jersey.
