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.
The students in Mrs. Currie and Mrs. Poore's ELA classes have been reading and analyzing poems. They organized an Elite Eight bracket in honor of March Madness! Students were able to vote daily to determine an overall favorite! Emily Dickinson's "Hope is a Thing with Feathers" was awarded the top spot and received a blue ribbon! Thank you Baloo Team members for your participation! And the fun continues, as April is National Poetry Month!
Many of our CMS students love talking about extreme sports such as skateboarding, motocross, and parkour. We think they'll love these new selections from the library! 🛹
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.”
Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Owens at CES have had their fourth graders exploring energy lately! As part of their lessons, they learned how cars and the human body expend energy in very similar ways.
Fittingly, some very special toy vehicles were brought out to tie the lesson together: Hess Trucks! Who remembers playing with those as a kid?
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!

Just one word. That's what all of these books have in common. Their titles all consist of just one word. CMS students can check out these singularly titled books on display in the library for the next few weeks!!! 📚

Like its cousin, the McVille Learning Fair, the CES Discovery Expo is not your everyday science fair. Students get to research a topic of their choice, such as the history of Polaris snowmobiles!
