⚡🔌 Learning Comes Alive in 5th Grade Science at DLRES! 🔌⚡
As part of their electricity unit, Mrs. Thrift’s 5th grade scientists had a special guest visit from Mrs. Crystal Godfrey of Georgia Power! Students enjoyed hands-on investigations and real-world insights into how electricity works.
Students explored how circuits are created, identified the components needed to keep a circuit flowing, and learned how electricity powers our everyday world. Using energy tubes and a variety of materials, they tested conductors and insulators, then built and tested their own circuits using batteries, wires, and light bulbs.
After mastering a basic series circuit, students were challenged to think like engineers by designing a parallel circuit, just like those used in modern buildings. 💡
Mrs. Godfrey also shared inspiring videos highlighting the many careers within the power industry, helping students see how their classroom learning connects to real-world jobs and applications.
A big thank you to Georgia Power and Mrs. Godfrey for sparking curiosity and powering up learning! ⚡👏

🏆 Hard work that keeps paying off! 🏆
This trophy represents students’ at CCHS incredible win at the Masonry Showcase in Florida last April—and the success hasn’t stopped there!
Out of 35 competitors, all 10 Camden masonry students finished in the top 14, with 7 placing in the top 10 overall. That’s an outstanding showing of skill, dedication, and craftsmanship.
Even better, two of last year’s competitors are now advancing to the state masonry contest, with hopes that one will go on to represent CCHS at the national level.
We are incredibly proud of our Camden masons and their continued excellence. Way to build a legacy—brick by brick! 🧱👏

✨ Teacher Spotlight ✨
We are proud to recognize Lynn Smith, Woodbine Elementary School’s Teacher of the Year, and a dedicated 3rd Grade Math teacher with 5 years in education!
Mrs. Smith became a teacher because of her love for helping children grow and develop healthy mindsets, while ensuring they always know they have someone in their corner. She is passionate about creating a supportive classroom environment where students feel encouraged to take risks and believe in themselves.
The best part of her job is watching her students gain confidence and light up when they finally grasp a concept they have been working hard to understand. Those “aha” moments are what make teaching so rewarding for her.
Fun fact: Mrs. Smith is a big movie buff and enjoys discovering new films in her free time.
If she weren’t a teacher, she would be a police officer. When she’s not in the classroom, she loves to unwind by going for a hike and spending time outdoors.
Her motto: “Mistakes mean you're learning. Fixing them is how you grow.”

Seven boys from a sleepy little town in South Georgia, training with minimal resources, showed up at the GHSA 6A State Championship and finished 14th out of 34 teams. That result speaks volumes about the caliber of these athletes.
Every year they battle weather, pool access, and constant challenges. This weekend, they stepped onto the blocks they lined up against the giants—and proved they belong. 💪🏊♂️
