Today, our Elementary Schools are wearing orange in support of Unity Day, as part of Bullying Awareness Month! Unity Day takes place annually on the third Wednesday of October, and serves as an opportunity to raise bullying awareness, and show widespread support toward ending bullying worldwide.



Have you ever tried to outrun a dinosaur? Well, Mrs. Mitchell's third grade class did on Tuesday! Students have been learning about how fossils help scientists learn about living things from the past and how using characteristics from animals of today can help us learn even more. Students compared their strides while running to a dinosaur with a similar leg length, and they found it would be pretty challenging to outrun one!
If they want to double check their work with a second experiment, there might be some dinosaurs running around on Halloween. We can't promise the data will be anywhere close, though.






Be here. Be on time. Every day. #CCSDAttendanceAwarenessMonth


Mrs. Kuc's second grade class at Camden Elementary learned more about the animal kingdom with a field trip to Fort Rickey last week! As you might expect, they were big fans of the petting zoo! Thanks to our student teacher, Miss Sochia, for the pictures!







Yesterday, Miss Stone's class at CES finished their science unit on works of water and erosion. Students learned about the flow of rivers and where they come from. They learned why some beaches have different color sand and lastly we learned about erosion and landslides. Students built models of mountains using cornstarch and made it rain on their models. This allowed them to see the formation of rivers and canyons. Lastly students tested different way to protect their mountain to avoid landslides. students took notes and made adjustments to their models to more effectively protect their mountains.




Friday's morning program at CES was hosted by first graders, and featured a special guest presentation from the Camden Fire Department! This week is National Fire Prevention Week, so our local volunteer firefighters came in with some great reminders about what to do to prevent fires, and what to do if you are in a building that catches fire.
They also did an equipment demonstration to help our young students become familiar with how an interior firefighter looks and sounds in full turnout gear. This helps to build trust and hopefully, facilitate a better response if any student should ever find themselves in that unfortunate situation.
It's as good a time as any right now to check your smoke detectors and make/practice an evacuation plan for your household.

A long musical journey begins with a few notes!

Attendance matters. #CCSDAttendanceAwarenessMonth


October's "Look at Me, I'm Three" program meeting is just around the corner! Contact Patti Ferretti (pferretti@camdencsd.org) to RSVP!


RISE AND SHINE, BLUE DEVILS! It's going to be a great day today! Here is your schedule for Homecoming 2024!



Whether it was Princess/Hero day, or Blue and White Day, or some combination of both, our students brought the ENERGY on Friday!





Given that it's Princess and Hero day at CES, it's only fitting that the school community found a way to get Mr. Ferretti his own crown. He has been dubbed the GOAT of Camden Elementary, complete with a crown from Ms. Levensailor!


That's one mighty blue and white crew... on a field trip to the Zoo! That's where Miss Stone's second graders were yesterday!


On Thursday, Camden Elementary School held a pep rally with the CHS Cheerleaders, and many of our fall sports athletes! The event builds school spirit while also developing leadership skills. It also gives our younger students some positive role models that are still in school, just like them! In addition, the athletes were able to explain a bit about what's important in their sport, which may inspire a few students in the room to take those sports up later on!
The CES Student Council was at the front of the room to help lead the students in all of the cheering alongside our CHS Cheerleaders!



From students to staff, the CES Wacky Wednesday styles were certainly memorable!




Thursday is Blue and White Day at CES, and students are ready to go for their afternoon pep rally today! A handful of CHS Student-Athletes, along with CHS Cheerleading, will be on hand to meet with the kids this afternoon!



We're looking forward to a great day of homecoming events on Saturday!


Happy Wacky Wednesday from Mrs. Cochran's class at CES!


Today, October 2nd, is National Custodian Day. Let's take a moment to recognize the hard work our dedicated facilities team does every day to ensure our students and staff have a clean and safe place to do their daily activities. Across the entire facilities team, they do nearly 70,000 combined hours of work annually to keep our buildings clean, our grass cut, and a variety of physical plant items in working order.


Miss Leone's kindergarten class at Camden Elementary School recently took a field trip to Behling Orchards in Mexico, NY! Those apples sure look delicious this year!
