Dear Parents, Faculty and Community Supporters:
The 21st Century world is a direct result of innovation, and men and women of vision and creativity are responsible for its design. It is a world driven by knowledge, technology and a global economy. It is the world our children, the children at Camden Street School, must be prepared to enter. It follows then, that in order for our students to succeed in this modern world they must not only have dreams, but they must also have the knowledge and skills required to realize their dreams.
The leaders of tomorrow, however, are not born, they are made. The process requires commitment, determination, perseverance, and, most of all, belief - belief that what happens in a school, rather than the circumstances around the school, determines whether the students succeed. I recognize that not all students who enter Camden will come with dreams and goals, but I guarantee that with your help, they will all leave with them. As a community of stakeholders, we all have the responsibility to inspire our children to be dreamers. If we fail to do so, what will be the legacy we leave to our children? The daily challenges our children and families face are unrelenting and ever increasing, but we cannot allow these circumstances to define them or our work. We know that all students can succeed, and it is our responsibility to ensure that all students do succeed.
The doors of Camden Street School are now open as a school to help kids achieve their dreams. The next generation will be poised to cease a successful future. Please join me as we make Camden Street School a school of excellence, which will produce dreamers - visionary, creative scholars who will transform themselves, their community and even the world. Let us all believe that as a result of our collective effort, CAMDEN will truly come to mean - Commitment to Achievement Making the Dream of Every Child a New Reality!
Sam Garrison, Principal
