CAMDEN, Tenn. (March. 24, 2023) – Camden Elementary School held a Countdown to Kindergarten family night on Thursday, March 23. The event featured family engagement activities for parents and their preschoolers attending Camden Elementary.
Kindergarten teachers spent time sharing with parents the expectations for kindergarten and gave everyone tours of the kindergarten classrooms. Students received “Getting Ready for Kindergarten” packets containing activities they could do during the summer to help them prepare. In addition, parents were assisted in registering their rising Kindergarteners for the 2023-2024 school year.
Betty Jordan, Benton County BOLLD Grant Director, was also in attendance with the school system’s Words on Wheels (WOW) van, stocked with books. Each student present at the gathering received a free book to take home.
Benton County Schools operates six schools and the Benton County Career and Technical Center.
