It's "Sap Season" folks!
Last week, Mrs. Willson prepared an engaging lesson about where maple syrup comes for the agricultural elective class at CMS!
Willson also gave the students an opportunity to taste test real maple syrup vs the cheaper table syrup found alongside it in many stores. Students were surprised by the ingredient difference!

Brewer showcased the ClickView and Swank Streaming products available through the SLS during two sessions for teachers. Clickview offers short and engaging educational content for teachers at all grade levels, while Swank Streaming offers thousands of fully-licensed, full-length feature films curated exclusively for educators.

What is yellow or orange and has 100 petals? MARIGOLDS! Students in the CMS agriculture elective learned the history and uses of marigolds on Thursday, March 16th. Students had the opportunity to start growing their own marigolds, which they can hopefully take home later in the school year!
The celebration may have happened early this year, but that didn't put a damper on the fun as Camden Elementary School celebrated St. Patrick's Day this week!
We hope you have a wonderful day, and a wonderful weekend!
