Ms. Lauren Jones' class celebrated finishing their first 5-paragraph argumentative essay of the year by solving The Case of the Missing Class Donut Fund (pretend crime)!

Her students stepped into the roles of witnesses and detectives to practice writing in active and passive voice through hands-on report drafting. They then applied their argumentative skills by gathering evidence at stations and formulating a claim to identify the culprit.

This week Bird Clubs students completed a text-to-text comparison of field guide styles. Students evaluated factors like portability, content, and media for hand painted Audubon-style field guides, modern photo reference field guides, and digital field guides. Although many assessed the photographic field guides as rating the highest in utility, they preferred the artistry of the hand painted guides for learning and enjoyment.

Congratulations to our SMMS Cheer Team for their success at the 2026 Coastal Cheerleading Competition in Richmond Hill this weekend. Their hard work and determination have been something to admire. 🐾 Go Bobcats! 📣

Bobcat Families, At this time all walkers and bike riders will be held in the cafeteria until the weather improves. We will monitor the weather closely and let you know if any changes.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and at Camden County Schools, we’re standing up, speaking out, and saying NO to bullying.

Every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and included in every classroom, hallway, and lunch table. Together, we can build a culture of kindness, empathy, and support.🩵

Let’s raise our voices, lift each other up, and STOP BULLYING before it starts.

Mrs. McGraw’s students carefully dissected regurgitated owl pellets to extract and assemble real animal bones. By identifying prey skeletons such as rodents, birds, and shrews, students gained hands-on insight into owl diets and food web dynamics by identifying the owl as a predator and its contents as prey.

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! 💻🔐

Bird Club students have been brushing up on their field journaling skills by taking an art class to master four basic bird shapes (pigeon, seagull, sparrow, eagle.) They then applied those skills to drawing some of Georgia’s native bird species, adding in details like color and habitat. They did an amazing job!

🥛Happy World School Milk Day!🥛

Today, we raise a glass to strong bones, healthy minds, and the small cartons that make a big difference! Camden County Schools proudly celebrates the nutritional benefits of milk and the role it plays in helping our students learn, grow, and thrive every day.
