As we get the Summer going, we're also excited about the fun of the upcoming school year, such as PepFest.
Alongside these photos, it's a good time to tell you to mark your calendars for Homecoming 2024. This year, most of the Homecoming festivities are set to take place on Saturday, October 5th.
More information to follow.....
Don't forget about these events happening this week with Connected Community Schools!
Today is the first day of the 2024 season for our Summer Nutrition Program! The program operates with the support of the USDA and allows anyone 18 years of age or under to receive a free breakfast and lunch on each day the program operates.
For 2024, walk-in service will be provided at Camden Elementary School.
The program runs on a Monday through Friday schedule beginning on Monday, July 8th, and it will run until Friday, August 16th.
Meal times are 7:45 AM to 9:15 AM for breakfast, and 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM for lunch.
Here's the scoop..... CMS 5th and 6th graders were able to beat the heat with a year-end ice cream social courtesy of our local Stewart's Shops locations! There was more than enough to go around, so some of the district office folks came to enjoy as well!
As a general rule, any day is a better day when one of Ms. Marshman's dogs visits the office.
Enjoy the upcoming holiday, everyone!
Blue Devils: Mark those calendars for sports registration and the start of practices! More info is coming soon from the Athletic Department!

Camping is a favorite summer activity in our area, so it was only fitting that Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Fairbrother’s classes came together for an educational end-of-year “Camping” adventure!
The class transformed desks into tents by using binders and plastic tablecloths to create “Camp Read A Lot” The students brought pillows, blankets, stuffed animals and flashlights for their individual tents.
Throughout the day, they rotated around to different centers where each center had a camping theme. For example, there was a money center where they had to match the cost of camping items with the correct coins. They did a graphing activity with camping items, created a map of a campground, wrote about a camping trip they have taken or would like to take, and read in tents with their flashlights. At the end of the day, the classes got together for a campfire sing-a-long.
Is your child looking for something to do between the holiday weekend and the start of Camp Sum-More-Fun? Well, the Connected Community Schools team has some answers for you!
She has yet to start her first school year with us, but our new high school agriculture teacher, Miss Erin Curtis, is already preparing. She's out and about learning new things to bring to Camden at a CASE (Curriculum for Agriculture Science Education) training event this week!

Mr. Ferretti is grilling for CES Students and Staff today!
We guess it's a pretty good time to break out the Mets apron, too. Since Grimace threw out the first pitch at a Mets home game on June 12th, they have won six straight games.
Mrs. Willson's homeroom and the rest of the 6th grade recently spent a busy day at the John S. Dyson NY Energy Zone and the Utica Zoo. At the Energy Zone, students completed challenges and learned how energy arrives at their homes. The Utica Zoo had many exhibits to visit and animals to see. It was a great day!
