It's Pawtober! Get ready for some October fun! Throughout the entire month, students can snap a pic of themselves reading to their pet or their favorite stuffed buddy. This will be a great way to showcase what our pets are reading! Plus, every student who submits a photo will snag a nifty little prize. Those adorable snapshots will be featured in the Media Center all month long!

Send your photos to: mpeeples@camden.k12.ga.us

Nurse Kelly visited Kindergarten to talk to the students about the importance of handwashing and how it stops the spread of germs. Using the book, Sick Simon, about a little boy named Simon who went to school while he was sick, the nurse let the students play with her toys that had "germs" (baby powder) on them, and they passed the toys around, unknowingly sharing the germs. She walked around and "sneezed" behind the kids (sprayed water on them while she made the sneeze noise). She used a black light flashlight to show them the "germs" they shared with each other when they were passing her toys around, too. She gave them handwashing tips (sing the ABC song while you wash your hands or count to 30), had 2 students wash their hands, and show how clean their hands were after following the tips. This was the cutest, funniest, and most effective activity to teach students about handwashing, spreading germs, and staying home when they're sick.

WES Welcomes a Special Guest: Miss Georgia!
Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting a remarkable visitor—Miss Georgia! Audrey Kittila was crowned Miss Georgia 2025 on June 14, 2025. She proudly represented Georgia at the Miss America 2026 pageant, earning the title of 3rd Runner-Up. Currently, Audrey is pursuing her graduate studies at the University of Georgia, and her community service initiative, "Education for All," focuses on decreasing school dropout rates. During her visit, Miss Georgia engaged with several classrooms, including our Music class, where our students enjoyed a delightful violin performance! We are incredibly grateful for her visit!
