On Thursday, November 13, the Friends of Camden Central School Foundation hosted a plaque dedication ceremony in the Camden High School lobby. The ceremony recognized generous supporters of the Friends of Camden Central School Foundation scholarship from 2023 and 2024 who had their donor plaques recently mounted on the display wall.
The evening was a celebration of the combined community effort to support Camden High School students with an annual scholarship in the Foundation’s name. It featured musical entertainment from the Camden Middle School orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Jennifer Chase.
Speaking on behalf of the Foundation was former Camden High School teacher Patti Kimball. Kimball serves as the president of the FCCSF. Former Camden Board of Education President Brad Runfola also contributed to the ceremony by sharing remarks about Judy Eckel Gafner who was honored with a plaque during the ceremony. Scholarship recipients were represented by Abigail Walker '19, who is currently teaching kindergarten in a neighboring district and looks forward to one day returning to Camden to teach.
The evening was filled with gratitude for the generosity shown by so many and a wonderful reminder of the strength of our community.
The Friends of Camden Central School Foundation wishes to extend their sincere thanks once again to all those who have contributed. In addition, the Friends of Camden Central School Foundation is always looking for new committee members as well as donors. Please reach out to FCCSF secretary, Kate Donaleski, at kdonaleski@camdencsd.org if interested.
