From teaching the basics, to more advanced skills, to organizing what many of you saw last night, and most importantly giving every child the power to create something memorable, this is the group that makes it all happen! Please join us in congratulating our awesome CCSD Art Department on another successful District Art Show!
We couldn't think of a better way to kick off District Art Show week!
A few months ago, Miss Stone's second grade students were given a piece of paper and told to draw a monster of their own design. Those drawings were brought to the Camden High School ceramics class, where Miss Archibee had her students bring the work to life as clay sculptures!
On Monday, the second grade students had the opportunity to see the finished product they will be taking home soon. But first, the sculptures are going on display at Wednesday's District-Wide Art Show!

Camden Elementary's Bingo for Books event was a great way to cap off Thursday evening! All students walked away with a free book in hand, and there were plenty of fantastic prizes as well!





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.

Mrs. Riegler's kindergarten class enjoyed an egg hunt today at Camden Elementary!





It's pretty funny when you have a room full of bunnies! It was a hop-py morning in Mrs. Cochran's first grade class! You could say they had quite an.... Egg-stravaganza.

Class is back in session with Professor K!
At Thursday's Title I Reading Extravaganza, our students and families were treated to a science demo by the one and only Mr. Steven Keller!

On Wednesday, the Camden Elementary School Community gathered for the annual "Very Important Person" Dance.
The event is an opportunity for CES students to bring someone important in their life (parent/guardian, grandparent, sibling, etc.) for a night of fun and dancing in the CHS Cafeteria, with music provided by DJ Gary Johnson!
We were hoping to have this back in February, but Mother Nature had other plans. It's safe to say it was worth the wait!
