Let's have one more big round of applause for our CMS Musical cast and crew! This group, under the direction of Jennifer Chase and Micayla MacDougall, has been working diligently for about two months to put "Beauty and the Beast Jr." on stage for you!

The CMS Student Council is running its annual food drive through December 11th!

Families that came in for yesterday's Connected Community Schools Open HUB Hours at CHS were in for a treat! Fresh aeroponically grown lettuce and basil were available, as anticipated, from our CMS Greenhouse Management Students. To keep it as fresh as possible, our students worked hard to harvest and package it on the same day.
This was all made possible through a grant from the National FFA Organization! Keep your eyes out for the next opportunity!

Musical Reveal Update: It's been absolute pandemonium in the chorus room today. Mr. Fiorini came in at the beginning of choir and took Mrs. Doubtfire off the board. Mrs. Heath came in at the end of the period however, and saved the day - at least for now - and put it back on the board.
In the same sequence, Billy Elliot and Sunset Blvd came off the board.
We're now down to two selections - Mrs. Doubtfire (which was yesterday's crowd favorite by a WIDE margin), and Big Fish.
Which one will it be? Stay tuned for tomorrow's reveal!

The results are in! With the support of our families and community, the McConnellsville Third Grade IFA Reading Group exceeded their $500.00 goal and raised $669.82 for the Wanderer's Rest Humane Association in Canastota through their "Pennies for Puppies, Coins for Kitties" Initiative!

Camden FFA received a $5,000 grant through Tractor Supply over the summer. The grant was utilized to purchase supplies to open a "salad bar" in the middle school agriculture classroom! The salad bar is stocked with fresh lettuce grown by agriculture students in greenhouse management. Students have learned many skills through running this grant funded project such as food safety skills, sustainability, and the most important skill of all - compassion.
Students know that keeping this salad bar stocked with fresh salad kits enables students in need of a healthy snack are able to eat something nutritious! This project was able to feed 55 students in the first open day! Camden's agriculture program is constantly looking for new opportunities for students, and this is one of them!

Student council members at CES helped spread some kindness around the building on World Kindness Day! They secretly dropped off a small treat to each classroom. They also wrote notes and hung posters to remind us to be kind everyday!


For Camden High School seniors Adam Gonzalez, Trevor Warren, and Landon Loomis, their final high school football game was one to remember. The trio competed in Thursday’s Elevate CNY Senior All-Star Game held at Utica University, and were part of a 26-0 win for Team White over Team Navy!
Gonzalez started at quarterback and found a familiar target - Loomis - for two passing touchdowns that opened the scoring in a shutout win. When all was said and done, Adam was named the MVP for the winning team. Warren contributed as well, lining up at running back and linebacker.
Top senior players from over 20 schools took part in this year’s game. Team White included players from Central Valley Academy, Rome Free Academy, West Canada Valley, South Lewis, Utica Notre Dame, Carthage, Little Falls, Sauquoit Valley, and Clinton under the direction of RFA Head Coach (and Camden CSD Parent/Spouse) Jake DerCola.
