April is Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month. In observance of this important occasion, the third grade book club at McConnellsville wore blue on Tuesday, and invited their fellow students to participate! The students have been learning about Autism as they read "A Boy Called Bat" by Elana K. Arnold. In this story, the namesake protagonist is on the Autism spectrum, providing a great opportunity to educate students about the vast range of experiences of individuals with Autism. Recently, the group has made and posted autism awareness posters throughout the school and has been making daily morning announcements.

On Friday, April 24th, McConnellsville celebrated the character trait of perseverance, and students that exhibit this important trait, at its monthly character assembly. The occasion included the presentation of certificates, the recognition of students achieving perfect attendance, and of course, the staff post-it note "Shake it Off" contest, which served as a perfect demonstration of perseverance.
It also included a very special announcement, which we will tell you more about tomorrow morning......

Amidst a remarkable group of actors, a spot in the finals wasn't in the cards today.
But the journey and the experience were a prize all their own. This weekend, Gage Grinnell got to live out a dream held by so many, but accomplished by so few. He studied in workshops at Julliard, saw a performance of the 2025 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, performed at Lincoln Center, and became the first Camden student in 33 years to reach this level of the National Shakespeare Competition.
He has done so well by all that have come before him, and has set an incredible example for all who will follow in the CHS Drama Club and CHS Theater Classes.
Way to go!
We have a new school record! Congratulations to Brenden Chennells on setting a new track and field program benchmark in the 400 Meter Hurdles, which he achieved on Friday at the Cahill Classic hosted by Sauquoit Valley! His time of 57.68 seconds broke the previous school record by .59 seconds, and was the winning time at the meet by nearly three seconds!
Brenden is a junior, but we'd also like to take a chance to tell you that Senior Day festivities for Track and Field will be held at Wednesday's home dual meet. Come on out!

Last week in Intro to Solid Modeling with Mr. Calkins, we also saw ongoing work taking place on the furniture for the upcoming "Senior Lounge" at CHS. Technology students have been working hard on the furniture components between other projects throughout the year. The pieces you see here are getting welded together to form table legs!
LIVE from Lincoln Center!

Friday evening was a beautiful one for baseball, and the Camden varsity took advantage with a road matchup under the lights at Murnane Field in Utica. With the game on the line in the seventh, the Blue Devils scored three to pull ahead of Utica Notre Dame, and ultimately prevail by an 8-7 score.

Perseverance means you keep working to achieve your goals, even when it's difficult. To demonstrate this important trait, a group of McConnellsville staff members played a little game in front of students and colleagues at Friday's Character Assembly. Their objective? To stick a book of about twenty sticky notes all over themselves, and then dance until all of them fell off. That was not as easy as it sounded, but the whole group kept going until someone completed the task. As you can imagine, the end result was pure hilarity.
Congratulations to our winner, Mrs. Sadie Williamson!
In addition to our awards for the month, an awesome bit of news was shared with the staff, students, and family members in attendance. We'll have more on that particular announcement around the middle of next week. Stay tuned!
