Introducing..... McConnellsville kindergarten teacher Emily Wood!
Emily is a graduate of the College of St. Rose. Her favorite thing about being an educator is watching her students become their own person.
She says she is passionate about providing a safe and loving environment for growth and development, while also leaving room for the right amount silliness each day!
When she’s not teaching, you can find her hiking, taking her dog Goob on adventures, and solving puzzles!
The Look at Me, I'm Three! program is back for a second year at Camden! If your child will be three years old on or before December 1st, 2023, bring them to our monthly meetings for awesome child development opportunities designed to help them feel comfortable at school, while preparing them to start Pre-K in Fall 2024!
Our first meeting of the 2023-24 season will be on Wednesday, September 27th, beginning at 5:30 PM! See the flyer for more details.
