It's safe to say she was excited to get started on Thursday!
The anticipation to start the year was off the charts for members of our CES Family!
Whether through smiles, or color coordinated first day outfits, it was a BRIGHT first day at McConnellsville!
The 6th Grade Blue Team says: "Let the adventure begin!"
A last first day for two lifelong friends. We hope the entire Class of 2025 had a great first day! Let's see what the second one brings.
What would first day of school pictures be without some dogs involved? It's a good question, and we're pleased to say we have you covered in that area.
Our own Stephanie Heath grabbed yet another great picture of her two children and their four-legged best friend as they prepared to start 2nd and 4th grade in the morning.
Tracy Hooker sent along another picture of therapy dogs Kylo and Oaklyn enjoying some fresh air in the CHS Courtyard after school on what turned out to be a gorgeous day in Central New York.
As with our staff and students, it was also the first day of school this year for our School Patrol Officers from the Oneida County Sherriff's Office. We look forward to another year working in partnership with their agency.
Mr. Calkins and Mr. Petrie had students in their DDP (Design Drawing and Production) classes get right to work on Thursday with a favorite first day activity: The Paper Tower Challenge!
The goal is to build the tallest possible free-standing structure using only three sheets of paper and 24 inches of tape. We saw a school record last year, and this year, the students delivered as the bar was raised even further by Gabe Grinnell and Colton Schuler! The pair built a tower that stood at an incredible 76.5 inches tall.
The previous record, set last year by Corbin Marsh and Brayden Seymour, was 73.5 inches.
Colton and Gabe will have their names added to Mr. Petrie’s “Wall of Fame” for their achievement.
After a great first day, it's time to fuel up for day two! We'll see you soon!
We're off to a great start at McConnellsville Elementary!
The CMS team was excited to get going!
It's always a great day to be a CES Cougar..... Especially on the first day!
The first day of school vibes are simply top notch today!
Is it spirit week, or the first day of school in the District Office?
You decide.
Ready to rock and roll from day one. That's what we like to see!
With our first day, also comes plenty of last first days among the Class of 2025! Misty Grinnell passed along this picture of Mettarose as she starts off on the first day of senior year!
Seniors: It's your time. Enjoy this year and make the most of your opportunities! We're excited to see what you do this year.
Morning To-Do List:
First Day Outfit: Check.
Backpack: Check.
Show-Stopping Jazz Hands: Check.
Whether it's their first day of first grade, or their twelfth year of teaching, the excitement to get started never goes away. Have a great year, Casey and Lenyn!
Check out these first day smiles! Our families have been sending pictures in all morning. If you'd like to be featured, email your first day snaps to camdenphotos@camdencsd.org.
If you'd like to participate, we ask that you do so by noon on Friday. We'll be working on a little project with what we have at that point for all of you to enjoy.
Pre-K Families: We'll make sure you get your moment on Monday. We're excited for that day to come!
CES Interventionist Katie Bliss was excited to take her two boys to first grade this morning!
