On Tuesday, more than 60 families attending the Resource Fair! Students took home books, math games, and more to make learning fun this summer. Thank you to the staff members who worked hard to make this event a success, and to families for coming out! We love getting the Cameron community together.
Former Cameron students and Class of 2024 Edison High School graduates walked their elementary school halls one last time as Cameron students and staff cheered them on. Afterwards, 6th grade students met with the graduates to have a conversation about middle and high school expectations, and 6th graders asked questions about their journies and next steps. Congratulations and thank you, Class of 2024! 🎓
On Tuesday, 2nd graders showcased their research writing to their families and classmates at the Research Fair! Many families and other classes came to support the students' hard work, and the 2nd graders felt proud to show off their success. Congratulations to the 2nd grade team!
