This newsletter is affectionately called the DNA because it's a beautiful collection of unique stories and experiences contributing to the development and function of our school communities. (Also it's an acronym for District News and Announcements ;) )

We hope you enjoy seeing some of these behind the scenes stories and will join your fellow community members at upcoming events!

If your child's school is not included below, that does not mean they aren't doing wonderful, exciting things! We look forward to sharing even more news and updates in the Good News Network section of future District Newsletters!

Potter Road held its first "Camp Potter" during the first 10 days of SEL. Camp Potter provided all students with the opportunity to engage in fun and interactive team building activities. Over the course of three days, staff facilitators led grade level classrooms through a series of activities that built classroom and school community with a focus on our core values. 

All Cameron administrators attended the community events prior to school starting, making many valuable connections with Cameron families.

On September 17th Viking Sports will come to Cameron to provide a team building event for each grade. We hosted Viking Sports last spring and the students had a blast and made great connections with their classmates.

This year we had a record number of students auditioning for our fall play Peter Pan Jr! We are very excited to see the final production.

Cameron PTO will be hosting our first annual family picnic 9/25. Families are invited to bring chairs or blankets and join us for a community dinner.
