At a recent Parent Academy session, we had the privilege of hearing from representatives from each school as they shared valuable insights for parents. The session covered important topics, including:
Human trafficking prevention initiatives in Camden County
The Camden County Schools Strategic Plan
Strategies to help students succeed on Milestone Assessments

🌴📚At Camden County High School, Mrs. Benroth's 10th-grade Honors/Gifted World Lit class is exploring Lord of the Flies with a creative spin. Before reading, students form "tribes" to design flags with symbolic logos, colors, and mottos.
As they journey through the novel, tribes face "tribal challenges" after most chapters. These tasks, tied to the story, are rigorous and require creativity and problem-solving under time and resource constraints.
Students love these activities! They spark friendly competition, boost engagement, and add an exciting, interactive twist to learning.
