🏕️ Every Camp Has a Name. Every Name Has a Purpose. 💜💛
As we prepare to welcome our students back this week, our staff took some time to think about one word they want to guide them throughout the school year.
Then, they turned that word into the name of their classroom “camp!” 🌲
As you walk through Melrose Area Elementary, you’ll see names like Camp Trust, Camp Growth, Camp Connection, Camp Kindness, Camp Enthusiasm and many more — each representing something our staff members are committed to bringing to their students this year.
These aren’t just fun camp names. They’re reminders of the kind of classrooms and school we want to create together — places where students feel welcomed, challenged, supported, and excited to learn.
We can’t wait for our students to discover all of the different “camps” throughout our building and begin their own adventures this week!
