District administrators said Grayson was also a class adviser and worked in the Community District Alliance Department.

According to her obituary from Huber-Moore Funeral Home in Bordentown, “Cynthia always had a talent and love for singing and performing. She found a theater home with the Bridge Players of Burlington County, where she appeared in many productions.”

Also according to the obituary, she is survived by her husband, William; her daughter, Kristen; her mother, Diana; her grandmothe,r Marjorie; her sister, Debora; her aunt, Marilyn; her stepdaughters, Erin, Shanell and Monica, and her grandson, Ja’Colby.

Middle school Principal Joseph Sprague said Grayson had a positive influence on her students.

“Mrs. Grayson was a dedicated professional who made a great impact on the students she worked with,” he said in a statement. “Mrs. Grayson loved to perform on stage and when she was teaching, the classroom became her stage and her students became her audience. She embraced this atmosphere and genuinely cared for her students.”

Sprague reported that one middle school student said of Grayson, “We all loved her. We all cherished every moment with her.”

According to Sprague, Grayson had a medical emergency during the school day and was transported to a hospital by first responders. She died at the hospital.

In a statement to the families of middle school students, he said Dec. 5 “was a very difficult day for our students and our staff. However, in typical BRMS fashion, everyone rose to the occasion. The outpouring of care for each other during this tragic time is something I will never forget. I am a believer that how you handle times of adversity ultimately defines your character and today the strong character of our school community was evident.”

Sprague said members of the Burlington County Crisis Response Team were at the school on Dec. 6 and worked with students. The guidance team was also available and worked with students.

“I often remark on how proud I am to be the leader of such a wonderful school, and I could not be more proud than what I am today,” Sprague said.
