Booth Fickett K8

Cameron is proud to be a fifth-grade teacher and the Before and After School Coordinator at Booth-Fickett, where he wears many hats to support students and families. A Tucson native and Booth-Fickett alum, Cameron brings a deep love for the community and a strong commitment to helping scholars succeed. He helps lead the school’s 21st Century after school program, which supports students from kindergarten through eighth grade with academics and preparation for the next level. In his classroom, Cameron focuses on creativity, bringing learning to life through Roald Dahl books, imaginative writing, and hands-on connections across subjects. Outside of school, he enjoys playing Saturday morning basketball at Brandi Fenton Park with a group which has met for eight years. Cameron believes Booth-Fickett is on the rise, with a dedicated staff and community working together to help every student grow academically and personally. 

Ms. Annette helps keep the heart of Booth-Fickett running as the school librarian, creating a safe, organized, and welcoming space for both students and staff. She makes sure everyone has what they need, from books and resources to laptops and teaching materials. After serving 15 years as a librarian at Tully Elementary, she joined Booth-Fickett in October and continues her passion for helping students discover the joy of reading. A Tucson native and University of Arizona alum, Ms. Annette enjoys spending time with her three kids, going to the movies, and of course, reading. She loves building relationships with students and reminds them that library time is a chance to relax, explore, and enjoy a good book. She reads about 20 books a year and believes a full-time librarian is essential for helping students find information, developing a love for reading, and keeping the school running smoothly. Fun fact, she was named after a telenovela actress, and one of her favorite books is Rain of Gold, which she has read many times. 

Ms. Marni plays an important role at Booth-Fickett as a campus monitor, helping keep the school safe and welcoming for everyone. She has been part of the Booth-Fickett community for more than 10 years and loves the school’s strong sense of culture, diversity, and community. Ms. Marni started her journey in education by volunteering when her children were young, and what began as helping out turned into a career she truly enjoys. She believes Booth-Fickett is a growing and amazing place for students, with caring teachers and supportive leadership that listens to and works closely with families. Outside of work, she enjoys crocheting, spending time with her family, and being a proud mom of three and grandma of two. Fun fact, Ms. Marni was named after the Alfred Hitchcock movie Marnie, a detail that many staff members may not know.
