Whether it was Princess/Hero day, or Blue and White Day, or some combination of both, our students brought the ENERGY on Friday!
Given that it's Princess and Hero day at CES, it's only fitting that the school community found a way to get Mr. Ferretti his own crown. He has been dubbed the GOAT of Camden Elementary, complete with a crown from Ms. Levensailor!
That's one mighty blue and white crew... on a field trip to the Zoo! That's where Miss Stone's second graders were yesterday!
On Thursday, Camden Elementary School held a pep rally with the CHS Cheerleaders, and many of our fall sports athletes! The event builds school spirit while also developing leadership skills. It also gives our younger students some positive role models that are still in school, just like them! In addition, the athletes were able to explain a bit about what's important in their sport, which may inspire a few students in the room to take those sports up later on!
The CES Student Council was at the front of the room to help lead the students in all of the cheering alongside our CHS Cheerleaders!
We're looking forward to a great day of homecoming events on Saturday!
From students to staff, the CES Wacky Wednesday styles were certainly memorable!
Thursday is Blue and White Day at CES, and students are ready to go for their afternoon pep rally today! A handful of CHS Student-Athletes, along with CHS Cheerleading, will be on hand to meet with the kids this afternoon!
When Wacky Wednesday rolls around, you rise to the occasion! These two students really put in the effort to look sharp today!
CES Second Graders started the week with their first agriculture lesson of the year on apples. They learned all about the life cycle of an apple, the parts of an apple, and pollination. All that learning about food can work up an appetite, so as you might expect, a snack was part of the fun!
Miss Mulvaney's class got excited to tackle their Tuesday learning with a little motivational huddle! "I CAN DO THIS!", they exclaimed.
Happy Wacky Wednesday from Mrs. Cochran's class at CES!
Today, October 2nd, is National Custodian Day. Let's take a moment to recognize the hard work our dedicated facilities team does every day to ensure our students and staff have a clean and safe place to do their daily activities. Across the entire facilities team, they do nearly 70,000 combined hours of work annually to keep our buildings clean, our grass cut, and a variety of physical plant items in working order.
Miss Leone's kindergarten class at Camden Elementary School recently took a field trip to Behling Orchards in Mexico, NY! Those apples sure look delicious this year!
Life's better with a hat made of cheddar. A Wisconsin classic made an appearance for yesterday's hat day celebration at CES!
October is Attendance Awareness Month in the Camden Central School District!
We encourage all of our families to recognize that attendance matters, and take action to help their students be present, and be brilliant throughout this school year and beyond. Good habits today, lead to good results tomorrow!
First graders in Miss Mulvaney's classroom worked as a team to re-arrange these alphabet tiles from A to Z!
Mr. Janes and Mrs. Platt's 3rd graders toasted the end of their first unit, Classic Tales; The Wind in the Willows, with a twist on a traditional tea party.
Mrs. Ammann's class at Camden Elementary School experienced a fresh taste of Fall without leaving their classroom on Friday! Her kindergarteners learned about the different varieties of New York's official state fruit with a tasting of red, green, and yellow apples. Then, they learned about how the crop can be made into a finished product by making homemade applesauce with cinnamon!
The Syracuse Museum of Science and Technology (MoST) is sponsoring a series of STEM challenges throughout this school year, and Camden CSD students from grades 4-12 have been invited to participate. Registration is free, and materials are provided by the MoST for each challenge.
The museum is hosting a bridge building challenge on Saturday, November 9th from 9 AM to Noon on its campus in downtown Syracuse. Students will compete to build bridges that are as strong as possible, while also being as lightweight as possible.
There are two divisions: A junior division for Grades 4-8, and a senior division for Grades 9-12. Teams can be from 1 to 4 students.
Students would need to register online, and then make arrangements to get their materials from the museum. Opportunities to set up a support session with the MoST staff are available by appointment, and there is a walk-in session scheduled for tomorrow, 9/28, from 9:30 to 12:30 at the MoST.

Tea Time! Mrs. Skinner and Mrs. Sessler's 3rd grade class wrapped up their Classic Tales unit with a British-style tea party!
