Recently, students at Camden High School participated in the annual “Chalk the Walk” initiative. Chalk the Walk offers students the opportunity to cover a school sidewalk with empowering and positive messages in chalk, and provide their peers with an enduring message - no matter what you’re going through, you aren’t alone. Led by CFLR Prevention Coordinator Ambur Kowalski, this event takes place each September at CHS, and at schools across the country in observance of Suicide Awareness Month.
In addition to the sidewalk, Kowalski also led a rock painting at the CHS Connected Community Schools hub. While chalk will fade, these rocks will provide an enduring positive message for all throughout the school year.
Role Reversal Day at McConnellsville was everything we hoped for - and then some! Stay tuned for more great stuff from Spirit Week!
The “Let’s Play” Two-Year-Old program is back for the 2025-26 school year! The first meeting of the year will take place on Wednesday, October 8th at 10 AM at Camden Elementary School.
Offered in partnership with Family School Navigation (Formerly Ready 4 Kindergarten), the “Let’s Play” program is a new, free monthly program for two-year-olds and their families. It consists of a monthly one-hour block of play-based learning and socialization with parent/guardian involvement. It is offered with the aim of progressing into the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program for the following year, and creating a two year skill development on-ramp into Pre-K programming.
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, 2025.
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.

Options will include Savage Eats, Squeezers Lemonade, Oh Crepe and Waffles, and Just Dipped! Come grab a bite before Open House, or to enjoy something different for your evening meal!
As part of the first meeting, participants read a story entitled "The Apple Thief" with Mrs. Stauring. After learning the culprit was a hungry mouse, the children worked with their families to create a two-dimensional paper mouse they could take home! A snack and movement time were also among the components included as part of this first meeting.
This program meets monthly throughout the school year, and is designed to help students who are Pre-K eligible for the following year build relationships and acclimate to the school setting ahead of time. For this school year, students who turn three on or before 12/1/25 are eligible.
Miss this month? Stay tuned for the October meeting! We will also have details on the "Let's Play" Two-Year-Old program shortly.
