We are into the second week of the 2025 Summer Food Service Program! The Summer Food Service Program operates under the supervision of the US Department of Agriculture. It allows anyone 18 years of age and under to receive a free breakfast and lunch daily during the period the program operates. The program will operate at Camden Elementary School from Monday, July 7th to Friday, August 22nd. It will run on a Monday to Friday schedule, with food pick-up available at any point from 8:30 AM to noon daily. There are no eligibility requirements other than a child’s age. The child does not need to be enrolled in the district, nor are there any income requirements. This year, the District has received approval to operate Camden Elementary School as a “Non-Congregate Feeding Site”, which means that meals will be offered exclusively in a Grab-and-Go format. Each participating child will receive a single bag containing one cold breakfast and one cold lunch daily. You will not be allowed to receive multiple days’ worth of meals in a single day. Anyone 18 or under can pick up a daily breakfast and lunch at any point during the distribution time at Camden Elementary School. Parents/guardians may also pick up meals for their children by providing their names.

If you're looking to get a jump start on prep for the upcoming year, supply lists from CES and CMS have been posted here!: https://www.camdenschools.org/page/school-supply-lists

We thought this was a fun courtesy of We Are Teachers with some fun ways to keep your students engaged in reading this summer. Enjoy your first week of summer vacation!

The middle school students were slightly sad to leave the agriculture therapy dogs for the summer. Truth be told the dogs are more disappointed they won't be able to see their "kids" until September.

Some students think that summer equals camping -- whether it's camping with their families in the great outdoors or sleepaway camp. SORA has so many fun suggestions for reading about those subjects for the kiddos to check this summer. Titles include: Camp by Kayla Miller, Horse Camp by Carrie Seim, A Girls Guide to the Wild by Ruby McConnell, Campfire Cooking by Blake Hoena, and How to (Almost) Ruin Your Summer by Taryn Souders. These and so many more fun summer reading books are available on SORA!

CMS Students were ready to get the summer started!

Our staff sure knows how to wave our students off for the summer in style!
