October is Attendance Awareness Month in the Camden Central School District! It's more important than ever to engage students and families to improve attendance and fight chronic absenteeism before it adds up to negative outcomes. Let’s work together to make sure all students have the support they need to succeed.
Camden Elementary School First Graders took a walking field trip to the Camden Police Station. Thank you Chief Redden and the Camden Police Department for giving the children a tour and showing us what you do every day for our community!
The Camden Central School District is excited to announce the addition of its brand new “Let’s Play!” program to its early childhood offerings. The “Let’s Play” program is a new monthly program aimed at two-year-olds and their families, with the aim of progressing into the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program for the following year, and a pre-kindergarten program for the year after that.
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 2024.
The program will be offered at no cost to families. It will take place during the daytime, and will consist of a monthly one-hour block of play-based learning and socialization with parent/guardian involvement. The inaugural meeting is set to be held on Wednesday, October 30th from 10 to 11 AM at Camden Elementary School.
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.
Some great family time was had by all during our October "Look at Me I'm Three!" meeting! Over twenty CCSD three-year-olds (or very soon-to-be three-year olds!) joined us for a great night of crafting, play-based-learning, and socializing. The group meets each month throughout the school year.
Stay tuned for details on our November meeting!
We will also be launching a new monthly early childhood program very shortly that is very similar to this one..... An announcement is coming tomorrow!
Whether it was building a fence for a spooky carrot, building a bridge with cups and string, or making a hand puppet, tonight's STEM Spooktacular at McConnellsville Elementary School offered something for every child to get creative and have fun with problem solving!

Congratulations are in order for Camden Middle School's own Mr. Nate Donaleski!
A few weeks ago, Nate crossed the Atlantic for an incredible opportunity to participate in the Berlin Marathon, which is a World Marathon Majors Event! Nate finished a blazing fast 26.2 mile course that is known for world record times in 2:52:21.
Speaking of world records, Nate got to be part of one. With 54,280 finishers, the 2024 Berlin Marathon is now the largest marathon ever run!
Have you ever tried to outrun a dinosaur? Well, Mrs. Mitchell's third grade class did on Tuesday! Students have been learning about how fossils help scientists learn about living things from the past and how using characteristics from animals of today can help us learn even more. Students compared their strides while running to a dinosaur with a similar leg length, and they found it would be pretty challenging to outrun one!
If they want to double check their work with a second experiment, there might be some dinosaurs running around on Halloween. We can't promise the data will be anywhere close, though.
There are no Varsity or JV home contests today, so it's Modified's time to shine! Modified boys' soccer and football will start at 4:30 at CHS, and modified field hockey will start at 5! The fun continues at 7 with the Camden AYSO Olympics!
Make sure you come hungry for a treat or two, as the Oh Crepe and Waffles, Two Hip Chicks Sliders, and Squeezers Lemonade trucks will be serving throughout the events, with proceeds to benefit Camden AYSO.
Camden Middle School! The Scholastic Book Fair is here! Students can shop during their lunch period throughout the week in the Library Media Center. You can pre-load money onto a student's e-wallet at the link shown. Contact the main office with questions.
We hope to see you this evening as Camden Girls Varsity Soccer battles Whitesboro, while supporting the globe's ongoing battle against Breast Cancer with their annual awareness game. Kickoff is set for 4:30!
