Caring Hearts ornaments are hung 😊. If you would like to help support one of our Cambridge families during the Christmas season, please come to the elementary school and select an ornament tag. Gifts are due back to the school by December 1st. Please leave the gifts unwrapped with the ornament tag attached. If you have any questions, please reach out. Thank you for your support!

Our 4th graders wrapped up their unit on energy and energy transfer by experimenting with our three-man slingshot. It was exciting to see which objects traveled the farthest.




Students in 1st grade were detectives and completed a math escape room to determine who was stealing the Halloween candy. They cracked the code and found out that the ghost was the culprit. #JustLearnIt




Thanks to these four for taking the Initial Bus Driver class! We appreciate your willingness to take the first step in becoming substitute bus drivers!

Third grade students learned how spiders use ballooning to relocate. They created models of spiders and balloons, then used the scientific process to experiment with and improve their balloon designs. Excellent job! #JustLearnIt





Our second graders got the chance to visit their pen pals in Wethersfield today. It was a fun experience as they finally got to meet their pen pals face to face for the first time!

Mr. Hamerlinck's class put on a wonderful performance of The Ugly Pumpkin! Great job everybody!

Our 3rd grade students kicked off their Junior Achievement lessons with our amazing volunteer, Mrs. Denison. During the program, students will learn valuable lessons about earning, saving, spending, and donating.



5th grade have been caught red handed with a fun invisible ink activity. Just in time for some spooky Halloween fun!

Thank you to the Cambridge Fire Protection District for welcoming our students and teaching them about fire safety. We are truly fortunate to have such a dedicated group of volunteer firefighters who go above and beyond for our community!






Our preschool students worked hard to follow directions so they could make pumpkin pie play dough. #JustLearnIt
