Let's take a moment to recognize CES Student Paisleigh Boyd and her family for their incredibly generous donation of 150 hats and gloves to any student in need at Camden Elementary!
Paisleigh said she wanted to help all the kids who needed gloves and hats. What a thoughtful gift for the season, and one that will be of great use in the months ahead!
After studying about indigenous cultures and the environments they built their societies in, Mrs. Paul and Mrs. Pulizzi's 4th grade classes at CES attended a field trip to the Shako:wi Cultural Center in Oneida. They learned about how the original five nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy came together, why the Tuscaroras joined later and then they were able to create their own no face dolls using corn silk!

This afternoon, the District was made aware of an odor of natural gas in the vicinity of Camden High School and Camden Elementary School. Building Administrators were able to immediately determine that the odor was originating from outside the buildings. As a precautionary measure, a call was placed to 911, and the Camden Fire Department and Camden Police Department immediately responded. It was promptly determined that students and staff were not in any danger, and the odor dissipated while the agencies were at the scene. With that understanding, the District was able to facilitate a safe, on time dismissal from both buildings.
The District would like to thank the Camden Fire Department and the Camden Police Department for their immediate response, as well as our Building Administrators and Building Safety Teams for following safety protocols. In addition, we are grateful to our Buildings and Grounds and Custodial staffs for their prompt attention and professionalism.

Student Council advisor Stephanie Kowalski (skowalski@camdencsd.org) is a good point of contact for questions about this initiative.
