For Mrs. Gonzalez and Mrs. Ouderkirk's class at CES, the 100th day was surely a memorable one!
On Friday, February 27th, Camden Elementary School was thrilled to host the Utica Zoomobile at Morning Program! The Zoo brought four of its Ambassador Animals to visit with students. Students had the opportunity to see a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, a Prehensile Tailed Skink (Which is a type of lizard!), a Leopard Tortoise, and an Opossum!
Fun Fact: If you met a Leopard Tortoise in the late 1990s or later from the Zoo, you likely met the same tortoise our students did today. His name is Leo and if all goes well, he might meet a few more generations of student later on. They live to be about 100 years old.
Mrs. Kuc’s class celebrated the 100th day of school with some triple digit themed activities! The class incorporated an active element to their celebration by seeing who could stand on one foot for 100 seconds, do 100 jumping jacks, and who could run in place for 100 seconds. They also graphed a total of 100 snack items and enjoyed the tasty result of their work afterwards!
Our students are officially 100 days brighter!

McVille didn't have all the fun - There were also some aspiring centenarians wandering around Camden Elementary for the 100th day of school!
When you get a lot of snow, you learn to make your own fun with it. And Camden Elementary School does exactly that each year with its annual WinterFest celebration! This year’s celebration was held on Thursday, February 26th. Students participated in sled races, relay races, and a bubble activity with Connected Community Schools. They also enjoyed delicious hot chocolate! Special thanks to the CES PTO for making today magical for our students!
Happy 100 Days from Miss Stone's classroom at Camden Elementary School!

In March, the "Let's Play" two-year-old program will once again have two sessions, to be held on Wednesday, March 4th, and Thursday, March 5th. 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.

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! 🐾✨
