The Camden Central School District is excited to announce the addition of its brand new “Let’s Play!” program to its early childhood offerings. The “Let’s Play” program is a new monthly program aimed at two-year-olds and their families, with the aim of progressing into the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program for the following year, and a pre-kindergarten program for the year after that.
To be eligible for this program, a student must reside in the Camden Central School District, and be two years old, or reach that age on or before December 1st 2024.
The program will be offered at no cost to families. It will take place during the daytime, and will consist of a monthly one-hour block of play-based learning and socialization with parent/guardian involvement. The inaugural meeting is set to be held on Wednesday, October 30th from 10 to 11 AM at Camden Elementary School.
Participation for this first meeting will be limited to 15 children, and will be on a first-contact, first-serve basis. RSVPs are required each month. 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.
Some great family time was had by all during our October "Look at Me I'm Three!" meeting! Over twenty CCSD three-year-olds (or very soon-to-be three-year olds!) joined us for a great night of crafting, play-based-learning, and socializing. The group meets each month throughout the school year.
Stay tuned for details on our November meeting!
We will also be launching a new monthly early childhood program very shortly that is very similar to this one..... An announcement is coming tomorrow!

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!
This week in art class with Miss Lis, 3rd graders brainstormed different images and symbols that mean something to them. Then, they created those sylmbols/images on large paper and added dots using bingo dabbers. These dots were inspired by artwork created by Yayoi Kusama. Great job!
This week in art class with Miss Lis, kindergarten finished up their spiders full of lines! Students learned the "Line Song," that teaches students what a horizontal, vertical and diagonal line look like. Great job kindergarten! You can find these spiders crawling in the hallways of McConnellsville!
Students in Mrs. Malenowski's 2nd grade IFA reading group at McVille completed their first STEM challenge last week! They created rafts out of makerspace materials, and after seeing if it would float, they tested the waters - literally - to see how many pennies it could hold!
We're looking forward to a great day of homecoming events on Saturday!
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.
