🧠💜 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! 🌾📸

Happy National Principals Month! 🎉 Dr. Lang, principal of Crooked River Elementary School, has taken a moment to share his favorite memory as a principal:
"My favorite memory as a principal involves an unexpected adventure that had the whole school talking for weeks. One day, an alligator wandered onto our campus, sending students and staff into a frenzy. With quick thinking and a trusty dog leash, I managed to lasso the wayward reptile and guide it safely away from the school grounds. It was a wild, unforgettable day that showcased not only my love for the students' safety but also a bit of bravery and humor!"
Join us in honoring Dr. Lang and all principals who make a difference in our schools! 💙🩵

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. 🦕🦖

Happy National Principals Month! 🎉 Mrs. Dow, principal of Mary Lee Clark Elementary School, has taken a moment to share her favorite thing about being a principal:
"One of the most rewarding aspects of being a principal is the opportunity to walk students to class in the mornings. This simple yet meaningful routine allows me to connect with the students on a personal level, exchanging cheerful greetings and setting a positive tone for the day. It's a joy to be part of their journey, offering encouragement and a warm welcome that helps to foster a supportive and inclusive school environment. These moments remind me of the impact we have in shaping young minds and hearts, making each day as fulfilling as it is important."
