Students in Mrs. Malenowski's 4th Grade Book Club at McConnellsville just finished reading the book "Pocket Bear" by Katherine Applegate. They also put the finishing touches on their very own bears, which they cut and sewed during their Book Club time!
We have a few more 1/2 ton club members at Camden High School! Congratulations to junior Richard Angell and freshman Tanner Williams for becoming the latest CHS students to reach this milestone!
The 1/2 ton club is a recognition program for students in the CHS weight room. To become a member, a student must perform a squat, deadlift, and bench press at a combined weight of 1,000 pounds. Students have continued to build a tremendous sense of community around their efforts in the weight room, and that sense of community has continued to build results!
Although he is a freshman, Williams rose to a challenge met by students two and three years his senior. He summed it up beautifully with a classic saying.
"It is not the size of the dog in the fight, it is the size of the fight in the dog."

On Thursday, May 21st, students in Mrs. Dacey’s MVCC Business/Personal Law Class got a firsthand look into the operations of a federal court with a visit to the United States District Courthouse in Syracuse. Students had the privilege of visiting with the Honorable Mitchell J. Katz, where he discussed his career path, and his role in the courtroom.
Other topics that were discussed include his role in ensuring rights under the fourth amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable government searches and seizures, and the process of warrant approval. He also discussed his role working with soldiers and families from nearby Fort Drum in Watertown because of his court’s status in the Northern District of New York.
While on site, the students also had the privilege of attending a Naturalization Ceremony, where 25 individuals from 20 nations became a US Citizen. Among them was a gentleman who served two deployments in the United States Military, and picked up the right to vote as a US Citizen. Before the ceremony, they learned about the citizenship process, the significant challenges and sacrifices it entails, and put their own knowledge to the test by taking a sample 135 question citizenship test.
Through this experience, each member of the class took away a firsthand understanding of the true value of citizenship, along with the accompanying rights and responsibilities.

One step up on the podium, and it's the only step she needed to take. A year after placing runner-up to teammate Ellie Hite, Anna Gilsenan is your 2026 Section III Class B-2 Champion in the pentathlon! Other highlights for the Camden girls included a school record at 100 meters for Marah Johnson. Johnson clocked in at 12.53 seconds to unseat Mackenzie Mix's record of 12.63 and place second. Marah coupled that performance with a second place finish at 200 meters. Izzy Johnson was second in the 400 hurdles for the Blue Devils as well. These individual results were part of a sixth place team finish.
How about those Blue Devils? Baseball wins 7-4 over VVS to advance into the quarterfinals. The Blue Devils will be on the road on Thursday at Indian River, with first pitch time still to be determined.
On Wednesday, May 20th, students from the New Visions Government, Law, and Public Administration program at Madison-Oneida BOCES gave their final presentations at the Madison County Government Center in Wampsville.
This premier program provides seniors with a meaningful and immersive experience in public service careers through embedded internships within the Madison County Government. A significant effort is made to align each member of the class with divisions that fit their interests. Each student wraps up their experience in the class with a presentation about their experiences.
Camden High School seniors Myah Ouderkirk, Lanna Baker, and Cody Piersall were part of this year's class. Joining them in the legislature chamber for this year's presentation were Counselors Tammy Kline and Christine Kio, Principal Aaron Fiorini, and Superintendent of Schools Jason Evangelist.
Well done!
