Mr. Hamerlinck's students dove into our district-wide focus, Just Learn It, by setting goals for the school year. We can't wait to see what they accomplish!
What a fantastic two days back with our instructional staff at Cambridge Schools! We kicked things off as learners ourselves, preparing for the launch of this year's exciting focus: Just Learn It. Our staff is energized and ready to help students master new skills and ideas. We can't wait to welcome all of our students back tomorrow morning! #JustLearnIt
We can't wait to see everybody tonight at Unpack Your Backpack from 5:00pm-6:30pm!

This spring, we conducted a Community Facilities Survey, and several of you shared an interest in participating in an outdoor clean-up day. This Friday looks beautiful, so we are going to do a Clean-Up Day from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. If you are free and interested, we'd love to have you join us! We will meet at the elementary school. Tools you might need are weed eaters, trimmers, work gloves, loppers, shovels, and buckets. Thanks!
We still have a few spots available for our preschool screening this Wednesday, July 30th. To schedule an appointment, please call the elementary school at 309-937-2028.
Good morning!

Congratulations to Mrs. Wood, an Illinois School Counselor of the Year Honoree! We are so proud of her and the difference she makes every day!
🎆❤️ Shoutout to Mrs. Nelson for embracing the "Try Something New" Summer Challenge in true DIY spirit! She watched YouTube tutorials and created her very first Fourth of July wreath — and wow, what a festive result! ✨
It took longer than expected and came with its fair share of trial and error, but Mrs. Nelson stuck with it. Along the way, she gained a whole new appreciation for the talent and effort behind handmade wreaths. 💐👏
Trying something new isn’t always easy — but it’s always worth it. Way to go, Mrs. Nelson!

🐶✨ Shoutout to Mrs. Higgs for another amazing first in our "Try Something New" Summer Challenge! She just finished this adorable patchwork pup—her very first stuffed animal ever! 🧵💛
With lots of creativity and a little leap outside her comfort zone, she brought this sweet little dog to life. We’re so impressed!

🌞 Happy First Day of Summer! We're excited to kick off our "Try Something New" Summer Challenge—and Mrs. Miller is leading the way!
She took on a quilt challenge for the fair, where participants were given a paw print fabric and the task of creating a quilted bag of any kind. With no pattern and lots of creativity, she winged it and made this amazing bag—her first ever! 🧵🐾We’re officially inspired! 🙌

Congratulations to our three beloved retirees! Yesterday, we celebrated Mrs. Lora Fielding, Mrs. Christi Reed, and Mrs. Sharon Hulin. We wish you all the best in your retirement!
For that last day of school Nixon and Nash English got to "Ride a Firetruck to School," an item from the Cambridge Academic Foundation Auction! Their grand entrance had many students greeting them!
Thank you to all the volunteers, Cambridge Elementary staff, and Cirque Amongus staff for an amazing experience! Our students stepped out of their comfort zones, tried new acts with confidence, and created lasting memories. It was an incredible day that brought our school community together in the best way possible.
Thank you for making the magic happen!
Elementary students participated in the 'Big Switch,' visiting teachers from the next grade level to get a sneak peek at what’s ahead.
Our 4th and 5th graders did an amazing job in their play, The Reluctant Dragon! We’re so proud of all their hard work!
A big thanks to Mrs. Higgs and Mrs. Akers for volunteering their time to help make the play such a success. We appreciate all you did to support our students.
