It took a few tries, but our 3rd grade Coding Club was able to code our Dash robots to synchronize music and movement! There were a lot of claps and laughs along with "London Bridge"!





April's elementary character trait of the month is PERSEVERANCE! The McVille Student Council will be making daily announcements to help students learn about this important trait.




A Statement from the Camden Central School District Board of Education:
“The Camden Central School District and Dr. Ravo Root, III., have reached an agreement regarding his retirement from service as the District’s Superintendent, effective immediately. The District appreciates Dr. Root’s service, and welcomes Mr. Evangelist as Interim Superintendent for the remainder of the 2024-2025 school year.”

On Thursday, you might have noticed that staff and students at McConnellsville Elementary School were wearing matching T-Shirts. The shirts were given out in recognition of McConnellsville's achievement of becoming a Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase School last year.
Thanks to the McConnellsville PTO for their support in obtaining these for our students!

After reading Island of the Blue Dolphins, Mrs. Malenowski's 4th grade Reading Group used SAM Labs coding pieces and Legos to create a Rontu trap that showed a red light when the dog wandered into its trap. They used a light sensor and RBG LED light (and even added barking sounds for style points!)

Wednesday is wacky sock day! Wear your wackiest socks.


Our March edition of the "Look at Me, I'm Three!" program was all about Bears!
The group read "Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson. They learned about hibernation and made "caves" out of paper bags. During the mindfulness portion of the program, our young learners went on a little "bear hunt". As always, the evening also included music from Laurie Berkner and Dr. Jean!
We're excited to see how they're growing as they get closer and closer to their Pre-K eligible year! Information on next month's meeting is coming soon!
