During the afternoon of Thursday, February 12th, students at Camden Elementary School had some special visitors to read them a story! The Camden Middle School chapter of the National Junior Honor Society was on hand for some small group read-alongs throughout the building! The CMS students enjoyed re-connecting with some of their past teachers and staff, and the younger students had the chance to connect with some of their older peers from the Middle School!

Visits are planned each month through the end of the school year!

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! 🐾✨

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!
