The therapy dog team of CMS could not miss out on pajama day this past week! Oaklyn and Ozzy were ready to spread some cheer on their last day before they miss their kids for 2 weeks!

Two decades of tradition continued for teacher Sherri Noyes and her students as they completed their annual Gingerbread Village activity this week! After building a village of their very own, they visited the Turning Stone Resort to see how the pros do it for their annual display. They met the Grinch, and Buddy the Elf in their travels!








Yesterday, Mrs. Libertella's MVCC Chemistry Class took a trip to Mohawk Valley Community College for some laboratory time!
Students utilized the atomic absorption spectrophotometer testing standard solution samples and an unknown silver solution to determine the percent silver in a sample. In addition, students had the opportunity to tie dye a lab coat. They also saw demonstrations with very strong magnets, looked at biochemistry specimens, and more.
A very special thank you to MVCC for hosting our students, particularly the three science faculty members who took time out of their day to work with our group. We have an amazing partnership with MVCC - a partnership that we are constantly looking to strengthen here in the Camden Central School District.

The holiday cheer almost went through the roof today at today's Camden Elementary School Holiday Assembly! The school community gathered for an amazing interactive reading of The Polar Express, including receiving their very own bell like in the book and accompanying film! They also received a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, sang some carols, and received a free T-Shirt with some help from Santa and our amazing Camden Elementary School PTO!
Twas the week before Christmas in Miss Archibee's ceramics, three snow days in the way set in a panic. Yet with clay-covered hands and determination so strong, the students worked undeterred, finishing trees all week long!






The CES Intervention Team is dressed to the nines for today's assembly!

All Aboard! Our CES Holiday Assembly is about to begin, and this year features a Polar Express theme!


We don't know if there'll be snow.... but have a cup of cheer!
Students in 8th grade agriculture designed and spread "cups of joy" to CMS staff last week! Each group of students got to choose an educator in the building to surprise with a floral arrangement and a sweet note! The flowers were donated from local funeral homes and the supplies used to create the floral arrangements came from a grant provided by the Tuthill foundation.
The students were beyond excited to spread joy and create some beautiful floral masterpieces!

The CHS Drama Club took a trip to Syracuse Stage today for a performance of "A Christmas Story!"


From exciting holiday crafts, to story time, to a picture with the man himself, this week's "Make and Take" event at McConnellsville was one to remember! Thanks to the McVille PTO, Connected Community Schools, and our awesome staff volunteers for putting together a great evening!

The height of festive fashion is on display at CHS!



Some of the oldest and youngest learners at Camden Elementary School came together for another festive activity this week, as Mrs. Poulin's fourth grade and Mrs. Riegler's kindergarten class gathered in the cafeteria to build gingerbread houses! The older students were happy to work with their Kindergarten friends, and they all built plenty of core memories to go with each house!





The third and final day of the CTE Holiday Festival at Camden Middle School took fifth grade students to the technology room for a wooden ornament decorating experience with Mr. Hickey! With the help of Mrs. Evans and Miss Bond, students decked out some new tree decorations while also learning about the technology classes they'll take later in middle school! Mr. Hickey also gave them a tour of the room and the various tools they'll get to use.
Adding an extra festive touch was a visit from the CMS Kindness Club, who swung by to hand out some candy grams!
Created for fifth grade students, the CTE Holiday Festival is a three-day event intended to expose the youngest learners at Camden Middle School to the opportunities available in the areas of agriculture, technology, and home & careers.

These beautiful festive floral arrangements will make their way into the hands of some staff members soon! Mrs. Evans and her floral design students at CMS created these magnificent pieces by repurposing floral donations from area funeral homes!
The second day of the CTE Holiday Festival at CMS featured a festive cookie decorating activity with our Home and Careers teacher, Miss Bond!
