Last night's Camden Elementary School Open House was very well-attended! It was great to see so many of our families come in to meet their student's teachers and classmates, and take a more personal level of involvement in the learning process. Thank you to our community partners who stopped in to provide information and other goodies as well. Led in their efforts by Miss Tayler Galusha, our Connected Community Schools team was able to partner with local salons to provide a free haircut to any student who wanted one.

Our students are loving their first day in the new playground!!
