Last Tuesday, our CES kindergarten students participated in a special seasonal snack creation! Using graham crackers, oreos, m&ms and a healthy scoop of frosting, each student created a delicious "turkey" to enjoy before heading home for break!





In case you missed it, we will be re-starting this program for the season on Friday!

Dr. Baker’s students at CMS set Marking Period 2 independent reading goals the day before break. As students finish reading each book written on their bookmark, they will color in the book spine to celebrate their reading accomplishment and track their progress!

The kindergarten students at CES created a turkey feather at home with their families to add to their classroom turkeys. These classroom turkeys are displayed in the hallway for all to see!


Mrs. Willson's homeroom celebrated Thanksgiving with a little pie and some feel good notes. Each student arrived to find a plate with kind affirmations from their classmates next to their pie supplies. Students made their pies and enjoyed them topped with whip cream. CMS administrators and Dr. Root stopped by for some pie and to wish some of our students a Happy Thanksgiving. It was a great way to start the day!





All after school activities for the Camden Central School District are cancelled on Tuesday, November 21, due to poor weather conditions.

Were CMS staff members excited for Turkey Dinner day last week? You be the judge of that! Special thanks to Pearl Romano and the entire CCSD Food Service team for always making this day special for staff and students.


We hope you enjoyed joining Camden Middle School in their "Big Blue World" for their musical production of "Finding Nemo Jr."
Congratulations to the cast and crew on two wonderful performances!

Many classes at McConnellsville have been reading Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano. In the spirit of the book, students have created some disguises to help their feathered friends make it through the holiday.
Do you recognize any of these turkeys?




Thank you McConnellsville! The Third Grade IFA Reading Group raised $533.25 for their Pennies for Puppies/Coins for Kitties initiative! This money will be given to Paws For a Cause in Blossvale.
