Announcements & Reminders:

The 8th Annual Turkey Teacher Food Drive is underway now!

From Nov 1 – 19, help us fill our Backpack Program shelves - and crown your child’s
teacher the new Turkey Teacher Champion!
  • Every donation earns points for your student’s class.
  • Double points for most-needed items like peanut butter crackers, ramen, and granola bars.
  • $1 = 5 points when given through your school’s PTO.
  • All items must be individually packaged.

Community Partners — We Need You Too!
  • This year, local businesses, churches, and civic groups can join the fun by becoming Turkey Teacher Grade-Level Sponsors.
  • Choose a K-5 grade level, host your own mini-drive, and we’ll spotlight your support on district pages while your donations help students in need.
  • Email Allison at alawson@cfcards.net to claim your grade level.
Let’s show that Cardinals care - every item, every snack, every dollar makes a difference.

As we work together on our Turkey Teacher Food Drive, we also want to share help that’s already here in Camden. If you or someone you know could use support with food this season, visit this page for local food pantries and free meal programs.

Thank you to The Hub for compiling these resources. Every act of kindness matters - thank you for caring for our community.

November is Family Literacy Month!

At Fairview Elementary, we believe reading success starts with strong partnerships between home and school. To support our K–3 families, we’re sharing the Home Guide to Reading Success — a simple, fun handout full of easy strategies to help your child grow as a reader.


We’ll also be celebrating Family Literacy Month all November through our upcoming events — Parent Empowerment Night (Nov. 13), Breakfast with Dads, and Thanksgiving Lunch. These are great opportunities to learn, share, and enjoy reading together as a family.

Join us at Cardinal Strong: Parent Empowerment Night on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 5:30–7:00 PM at Camden Fairview Middle School. We'll be hosting sessions on student success, the new 3rd-grade promotion law, and at-home reading strategies for all grade levels.

Let’s work together to make reading a daily part of family life!

Reminder: Add Extra Clothes to Your Child's Backpack! Please keep an extra change of clothes (shirt, shorts/pants, socks, & underwear) in your child's backpack at all times. This is a big help if your child has an accident on the playground, at lunchtime, or in the bathroom!

Thank you for your continued support of Every Cardinal, Every Day!

Car Rider Line Reminders:

To help keep our car rider line safe and efficient, we ask that you:
  • Load and unload students from the back seat on the driver’s side.
  • Parents, please stay in your car. Teach your child to buckle independently, or pull into the parking lot to assist if needed.
  • During morning drop-off, have your child dressed, finished with breakfast, unbuckled, and backpack on before pulling up to the door.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and our car rider line moving smoothly!
