Join the Camden County Sheriff's Office on October 22nd at Alien Treats from 6pm to 8 pm for CHAMPS Spirit Night!

This important program teaches valuable life skills to fifth graders all over the county—covering topics such as drug prevention, vaping, peer pressure, and more.

By the end of the program, students have a better understanding of what it means to make safe, healthy, and responsible choices—and there may or may not be a pretty awesome graduation party waiting for them at the finish line!

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!🔒

Did you know that cyber threats are constantly evolving? It's crucial to stay informed and vigilant to protect your personal and professional information. Here are some tips to enhance your cybersecurity:

☑️Update Your Software Regularly:
Ensure all your devices and applications are up-to-date. Software updates often include important security patches that protect against vulnerabilities.

☑️Use Strong, Unique Passwords:
Avoid using easily guessable passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, and consider using a password manager to keep track of them.

☑️Enable Two-Factor Authentication:
Add an extra layer of security to your accounts by enabling two-factor authentication. This requires a second form of verification beyond just your password.

☑️Be Wary of Phishing Scams:
Always double-check the sender's email address and be cautious of clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.

☑️Back Up Your Data:
Regularly back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud service. This can save you in case of a ransomware attack or other data loss incidents.

Let's make this October a month of increased awareness and proactive steps towards a safer digital world. Stay cyber safe! 💻🔐

Day 3 Treasure Chest Winner
Mrs. Wheater's 3rd grade students from Woodbine Elementary wrapped up their studies on Johnny Appleseed as well as a science unit on traits and heredity today with Apple Day! They worked as chefs to make apple pie crust and filling, which was baked by our amazing cafeteria crew. We got a tour of the cafeteria kitchen, and how they manage everything needed to keep us well fed! We enjoyed a Mystery Science about the Biggest Apple in the World and tied it in to our studies on traits and heredity. We added the word "oxidation" to our vocabulary to describe the reaction an apple has when exposed to air! Science and history can be fun AND delicious!

A huge thank you to Jen Tacbas with Great Books for Kids for her incredible generosity! 📚✨

Jen recently donated a brand-new book to every single one of our 1st-grade students. For our beginning readers, having a special book to call their own is a huge milestone as they take their first steps on the journey toward lifelong literacy.

Seeing their faces light up as they opened their books was priceless. Thank you, Jen, for investing in our young learners, sparking a love for reading, and supporting our school community! ❤️
