Camden Middle School is proud to host an author visit this afternoon from New York Times Bestselling Author Megan E Freeman! Freeman has made the bestseller list twice with her young adult novels "Away" and "Alone", with the latter also becoming a favorite in some sixth grade ELA Classes at CMS, along with being a popular choice for "One School, One Book" initiatives across the country. The Camden High School book club, under advisor Kelly Doran, is also coming to enjoy the afternoon.
Special thanks to our own Dr. Tara Baker for doing a lot of the legwork to make this happen.

In May, the "Let's Play" two-year-old program will once again have two sessions, to be held on Tuesday, May 12th, and Thursday, May 13th. Each session will begin at 10 AM.
Offered in partnership with Family School Navigation (Formerly Ready 4 Kindergarten), the “Let’s Play” program is a free monthly program for two-year-olds and their families. It consists of a monthly one-hour block of play-based learning and socialization with parent/guardian involvement. It is offered with the aim of progressing into the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program for the following year, and creating a two year skill development on-ramp into Pre-K programming.
To be eligible for this program, a student must reside in the Camden Central School District, and must have reached the age of two on or before December 1st, 2025.
RSVPs are required each month. Spots are limited, and will be on a first-contact, first-serve basis. Early RSVPs are also more likely to get their preferred day to attend. To reserve your spot, or if you have questions, contact our Family School Navigator, Patti Ferretti, at 315-245-2616, extension 5200, or at pferretti@camdencsd.org.

April is Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month. In observance of this important occasion, the third grade book club at McConnellsville wore blue on Tuesday, and invited their fellow students to participate! The students have been learning about Autism as they read "A Boy Called Bat" by Elana K. Arnold. In this story, the namesake protagonist is on the Autism spectrum, providing a great opportunity to educate students about the vast range of experiences of individuals with Autism. Recently, the group has made and posted autism awareness posters throughout the school and has been making daily morning announcements.
