If you look hard enough, you can find a lot of teaching moments in an Olympic Opening Ceremony, and Mrs. Calabro's students found that out last week! Between mathematics, history, science, physical education, art, music, technology, and of course world languages, there are so many elements that apply to what our students learn each day!

At Camden Elementary, we believe that every child is a story, not just a statistic. However, those numbers help us tell that story more clearly!

Last week, our dedicated teachers came together for our Camden Elementary Data Days. It was a time of deep collaboration, focused entirely on the growth and success of your children. We were honored that board member Ben Mitchell attended to see this important work!

We did not just look at spreadsheets; we looked at the faces behind the facts. Our teams spent the days: analyzing reading and math trends, making intentional instructional shifts, and collaborating as grade level teams to make sure every Cougar has the tools for success!

We are so deeply committed to the overall well-being of our students. By taking this time to pause and reflect on our data, we ensure that no child is overlooked and that our teaching remains as purposeful and caring as possible.

We are so proud of the hard work our students are putting in, and we are honored to partner with you in their journey! 🐾✨

MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS MONTH

Congratulations to senior Mason Butler and sophomore Talon Kimball on claiming championships at this past weekend's Section III Class B Championship Tournament hosted by Central Valley Academy! The title-clinching duo led the Blue Devils to a fourth place finish in the team standings, amidst a host of other strong performances.

Butler rolled through his competition with three victories at 132 lbs. The senior pinned Mexico's Blake Pugh in just 1:12 in the first round, then dominated his semifinal and final matches with a pair of technical fall victories to claim the title. The Class B championship is Butler's first, and builds on a pair of prior podium finishes. He was second in the 2024 tournament at 101 lbs, and fifth in 2025 at 124 lbs. He is 31-3 overall this season, and enters the Section III Division II tournament with 83 career victories.

In his fourth year on the varsity, Kimball ascended to the top spot on the Class B podium for the first time as the 144 lb. champion. He had three prior podium finishes at this event, two of which were runner-up placements at 110 lbs and 116 lbs. As the top overall seed in his weight class, Kimball received a bye into the semifinals. He didn't waste the opportunity as he made efficient work of both opponents with two pinfall victories. Kimball is 22-1 overall this season, and has not lost a match since December 5th. His lone loss came while wrestling at 150 pounds. He also recently recorded his 100th career victory.

Eight other Blue Devil wrestlers placed on the podium on the class meet. Bradyn Hatzinger (126), Zadick Kelley (103), and Jackson Wolford (175) all logged third place finishes with tournament records of 3-1. William Kantor (190) and Richie Angell (285) placed fourth in their respective weight classes, while Gabe Grinnell (132), Troy Cox (150) and Jose Negron (138) placed in fifth.

The Blue Devils now turn their attention to the Section III Division II Championship Meet, to be held on Saturday, February 14th at Onondaga Community College. Athletes in the top four of each class meet automatically qualify, with additional opportunities for wild card entries.

Third grade students in Katie Hotard's class at Camden Elementary School have been exploring the unique cultural traditions of Louisiana this school year! Hotard, a native of southern Louisiana, has led her students through a series of fun cultural activities about the region. With Mardi Gras on the horizon, her students learned about the history of parades, read a story about Mardi Gras, listened to some of the region's folk music, and sampled a delicious King Cake, fresh from The Pelican State!
