Welcome to my family! Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Mrs. Suzanne Morrow. This November, I will be married for 22 years. We have two amazing children, Zoe, who is recently engaged, and Jackson, who is in 10th grade at Maple Shade High School. This school year marks my first year as a 1st teacher and 18th year teaching in Pemberton Township School District. I am a former recipient of Teacher of The Year, 2021 for Stackhouse Elementary School as well as 1 of 95 Exemplary Teachers in the State of New Jersey! I absolutely love my job! In my opinion, the best moments are spent celebrating your children as they become shining stars. As an educator, I find so many reasons to celebrate and acknowledge each student that joins my classroom. It could be a child writing his name for the first time, scholars working out conflicts through talking circles and morning meetings, singing and dancing during movement breaks, writing stories, adding and subtracting, and my favorite of all - listening to the kiddos read! I can honestly say, there’s nothing more exciting than teaching your child.

I strive toward creating a positive, nurturing, and accepting learning environment for my scholars and their families. I believe that we are all in this together and that only greatness can come from working together. 

 I am a former student of Pemberton Township, class of 1999, and have spent my entire teaching career giving back to the community and school district that gave me so much. I graduated from Holy Family University in 2007 with a dual certificate: Teacher of the Handicapped and Elementary Education. I began teaching in January 2007 at Emmons Elementary School as a self-contained teacher for students with disabilities - Applied Behavior Analysis. In September 2010, I moved into second grade for four years as an in-class resource room teacher before transitioning to a kindergarten teacher. In 2014, I completed the masters program for special education teachers, graduating with honors from Grand Canyon University. 

I am always on the go! I spent 5 years representing the Harker-Wylie/ Stackhouse PTO. Currently, I am the Co-Chair of our Character Education Committee, and member of our PBIS committee, as well as a member of the Intervention and Resource team - Masonic Model. I am also an active member of my community of Maple Shade as a volunteer with the Ladies Auxiliary for Independent Fire Company.

As your child's first grade teacher, I promise to promote independence, confidence, creativity, adventure, questioning, problem-solving, and most of all, love of reading and writing. I promise to dance, sing, and laugh with your child, all while providing an error-less learning environment filled with endless possibilities. I believe in cultivating a family-like atmosphere with flexible seating, music, movement, imagination, and enthusiasm.
