Go Blue Devils!
This annual event gathers the CES community for hours of family activities, books, and refreshments. Among the highlights are the carnival games set up by teachers. Classics such as “Pin the Spider on the Web” and “Pumpkin Ring Toss” were joined by new additions like “The Human Slot Machine”. Craft activities included “Lollipop Ghosts”, a stress ball making station, and leaf rubbings with Connected Community Schools. Students also left with free books from the Title I initiative, and could also browse and purchase additional books from the Scholastic Book Fair.
Due to some dynamic weather throughout the day, this year’s event was held indoors, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of those in attendance!
Support students in Mrs. Malenowski's IFA Third Grade Reading Group by sending in your spare change to school as they raise money for the Wanderer's Rest Humane Association in Canastota! The group has set an initial goal of $500, and they are looking to reach that goal by Friday, November 7th.
In line with this initiative, the group is reading the classic "Shiloh" by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, which is about the efforts of a young boy to give the title character, a beagle, a better chance at life after prolonged mistreatment. The students are hoping to make a difference by helping plenty of dogs and cats from across the area through this yearly initiative.
If you have any questions about how you can help, contact Shelley Malenowski at smalenowski@camdencsd.org.

Self-Directed learners were in the spotlight at McConnellsville for October's Character Assembly!
4th grade students performed a skit about being Self Directed, and students in grades K-4 were recognized by their teachers for demonstrating this trait throughout the month! By being a self-directed learner and person, you become someone that you can depend on!

You might know Dustin Hite by many different titles: Mr. Hite, SPO Hite, Coach Hite, etc.
Now, you can add Chef Hite to the ever-growing list. On Wednesday, he took over the Camden High School kitchen to prepare lunch, as his own chicken riggies were on the menu!
The plan was to make them every other month throughout the year - but they were such a hit among the students that they might be featured more often!
We need to stop by next time, and see how it's done for ourselves!
