Congratulations, McVille Class of 2025!
McConnellsville 4th graders finished painting the mural they designed in art class with Miss Lis. As they leave McVille this year, they leave behind this beautiful mural as a message of kindness, a memory of working as a team and of course their signatures on the tree in the design. Great work 4th graders! We're excited to celebrate you at your moving up ceremony!

The start of summer is a great time to set some new goals! Want to kick off the process and do a fun activity along the way? Join Connected Community Schools for this free event on Wednesday! Contact Val if you have any questions. A good contact number is available in the attached flyer.
Good Morning Blue Devils,
After careful consideration of the conditions, the Camden Central School District will be open on Monday, June 23rd, 2025. All District buildings have power at this time. As a reminder, this is a scheduled half day for Elementary and Middle School students.
We understand that several roads may be impassable for our buses and/or your vehicles at this time. With this in mind, some students may not be able to be picked up today and some bus routes may run noticeably off schedule.
In the event a bus cannot reach you, and you are still capable of bringing your child to school with your own vehicle, you are welcome to do so. If your child is absent because they are unable to be transported to school, it will count as an excused absence for today.
Thank you for your time and consideration as we strive toward a safe opening for staff and students.
Good evening Camden CSD School Community,
We hope everyone is safe and managing through this latest storm. We are monitoring the power outages and road conditions throughout the District. If the situation requires us to close school tomorrow, we will exhaust our snow/emergency days. As stated in our communication from May 23rd, it would become necessary for staff and students to report for an additional half day on Friday, June 27th.
At this time, we are hoping that the conditions will improve and we will be able to hold school tomorrow. We will keep everyone updated as we continue to monitor the conditions throughout the evening. Stay Safe.
This amazing group of 4th graders came in early to school to create a special mural with Miss Lis this past week. They did a great job working together to create a beautiful and creative work of art for the school. Great job!
Students are visiting the Book Swap during their library classes this week. Many have brought in books from home to exchange, but ALL students have received https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/camden_central_school_district_ar/live_feed_image/image/17140047/large_10_June_-_Book_Swap_6.jpgbooks to read over the summer!

Some of the best teachers make an impact on generations of students, and this photograph, taken this morning, says it all.
Our own Sarah Fannin passed this along. She had Mrs. Sue Holmes as a teacher growing up, and now her daughter, Delilah, has had the same opportunity. Sue is retiring at the end of the school year after 33 incredible years with us, so there was no time like the present to get this picture.
Just a reminder as Summer arrives that we will once again offer the USDA Summer Food Service Program this year!

4th graders began working on painting the mural they designed in art class with Miss Lis. Great job, 4th graders! We are excited to see it when it is complete!
Connected Community Schools has Open Hub hours scheduled for Wednesday, June 18th. Come and see what the Hub has to offer, and grab some early Summer essentials if you need them. Contact Valarie for more information. A phone number is provided in the flyer!
Across band, chorus, and orchestra, our McConnellsville Elementary fourth grade students put on a show to remember tonight!
On Friday, Pre-K students were treated to a fun and interactive theater performance with representatives from Syracuse Stage!
Join us on Thursday evening at McConnellsville for our 2025 Pre-K Graduation Ceremonies! There are two ceremonies paired by class, and all are on the same evening this year. In an exciting twist, this will be the first group to have its ceremony in the new McVille Gym/Auditorium space!
On Friday, May 30th, our third graders put their best foot forward at their annual district-wide track meet!
While many students represent the community in youth sports, this is one of the first opportunities that our students get to represent their school in competition. Good effort and good sportsmanship are paramount to a successful event. We look forward to seeing how much they've grown when they come together for the fourth grade meet next year!
Recently, the Camden Central School District was pleased to hold its annual "Summer Reading Book Fairs" at Camden Middle School, McConnellsville Elementary, and Camden Elementary. This special event, held during the school day, gave each student a credit to spend on discounted books for their summer reading endeavors. Students have the opportunity to pick up books that fit their interests in hopes that it will drive greater engagement in reading, and it also provides important access to books to have at home for all students, regardless of circumstances.
This opportunity is made possible through the support of the Tuthill Foundation Grant, and the continued generosity of the late Virginia and Stedman Tuthill. The Tuthills were longtime Camden residents who were firm supporters of students, educators, and libraries.
After Stedman passed away in 1993, a grant was set up in the family name to support initiatives of the Camden Central School District, and the Camden Public Library. Virginia was a board member of the library for many years and cherished creating literacy opportunities for children. She passed away in 2014 at the remarkable age of 102. The couple's legacy lives on through initiatives such as this book fair, which has now benefited generations of students.
Thanks to the amazing generosity of Mrs. Virginia Tuthill, every student at McConnellsville was able to pick out books for summer reading at the special Book Fair this past week!!
