Happy National Principals Month! 🎉 Sykora Cobb, principal of St. Marys Elementary School, has taken a moment to share her favorite thing about being a principal:
"The best part of my day is spending time with our students and staff! Whether at school or in the community, there is no other feeling than hearing “Mrs. Cobb” and being greeted by a current or former student--talk about feeling like a Rock Star! As a principal, each day is a new and different experience! I love the challenge of working with educators to create new approaches to challenges and design new learning experiences for students. A recent quote that has become my favorite is, “Success is no accident. It is hard work. Perseverance. Learning. Studying. Sacrifice. And most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” The warm welcome and encouragement I have received from our students, staff, and families at SMES have been amazing—it is truly a special school to lead. "
Join us in honoring Mrs. Cobb and all principals who make a difference in our schools!💙🩵

Mrs. Gano’s 2nd graders at Crooked River Elementary engaged in nonstandard measurement fun! 🍬 Using Twizzler Bites, they measured crayons, pipe cleaners, and more, making learning sweet and engaging. Comparing these to 1-inch foam squares showed how different units yield different results. 📏 Next up, they'll match these with standard ruler measurements to see the importance of accuracy in everyday life. Mrs. Gano’s creativity is sparking a love for learning! 🌟✂️📐

"My favorite thing about being a principal is two-fold. First, I enjoy working with a phenomenal group of professionals and serving a diverse population of students. Their dedication inspires me every day to strive for excellence and foster an inclusive environment where every student can thrive.

Happy National Principals Month! 🎉 Dr. McManigal, principal of St. Marys Middle School, has taken a moment to share her favorite thing about being a principal:
"As a product of Camden County Schools, one of my favorite aspects is not necessarily about one school, but about our school system. Camden has the best school spirit that brings students, staff, and families together as a whole. The sense of Camden pride fosters a shared identity that makes us all fully connected at all levels whether we are supporting a sports event, competition, or raising awareness for a cause. As the SMMS principal, what I value the most is being able to make a difference in a middle schooler’s day by hoping to make them feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed. Life as a middle schooler can be challenging and unique so having a strong support system can make a huge difference in their middle school years."
Join us in honoring Dr. McManigal and all principals who make a difference in our schools! 💙❤️

🧠💜 Did you know that Alzheimer's can begin to affect individuals as early as their 30s? It's a common misconception that it's only a concern for older generations. Dianne Torgeson and Laquita Herron from the Camden County Alzheimer's Project recently visited Builders Club and Jr. Beta students from Camden Middle School for the Walk kickoff party. The students gained valuable insights into Alzheimer's and ways to help prevent it. They also had fun with photo ops and crafted scarecrows, which are now beautifully displayed for the scarecrow walk. You can see these creative scarecrows and support the cause at the Alzheimer's Walk on the 26th. We invite everyone to join us in raising awareness and making a difference! 🌾📸

Last week, Mary Lee Clark Elementary School third graders pretended to be Paleontologists and excavated dinosaurs to kick off their fossil unit. 🦖🦕 Student teacher, Ms. Wensel, planned a fun, engaging lesson that explained who studies fossils, what a fossil is, and how they are formed. To wrap up the day, students shared their discoveries with the class, using the new vocabulary words they had learned, such as "paleontologist," "sediment," and "prehistoric." This hands-on approach not only sparked enthusiasm but also deepened their understanding of the subject, laying a strong foundation for future learning in the fossil unit. 🦕🦖
