Last week, CMS Floral Design students spent a day processing flowers donated from a local funeral home for re-use. Students are using the new floral design lab equipment purchased through the Tuthill Grant, and are enjoying the opportunities provided through the Camden agriculture program!
This unique program will create a powerful veterans’ day flag display at Camden Middle School, along with raising money for the Disabled American Veterans organization, which helps veterans navigate and gain access to employment assistance, education, financial benefits, healthcare, disability assistance, and other benefits they’ve been promised. They also provide transportation to and from VA facilities to ensure all veterans can get the medical care they require.
CMS Students will visit the display for a lesson on Veterans Day during their Social Studies classes on Monday, November 10th.
Here’s how it works:
1. Visit https://support.dav.org/participant/CamdenMiddleSchool.
2. Select the amount you’d like to donate. Currently, they sit at $60.00 of a $500.00 starting goal. For each $250.00 raised, CMS receives two dozen flags with the proceeds going to help DAV in their mission. Assuming they receive the first two dozen flags, the display will proceed as planned.
Questions can be directed to Jeff Doran at jdoran@camdencsd.org.

Our JV and Varsity teams brought the energy for PepFest today with creative skits and new ideas! Have you ever seen a large group of inflatable animals play field hockey? A pool noodle fencing competition? Or four large inflatable sharks playing table tennis? Well, you have now!
The occasion also included the singing of the alma mater, the pie-ing of the teachers, and the announcement of the senior superlatives!
In the fight against breast cancer, our teams stand as one. Our Field Hockey program and the varsity girls' soccer team teamed up this evening with their annual pink out game. There were food trucks on site along with some neat raffles to raise money for breast cancer charities.
As of this writing, there is still time to get here for the second half of the Varsity Field Hockey game! Camden and Whitesboro are tied at 0.
You never know where a high five from Coach McPheron is coming from, and tonight, she was the surprise recipient of a massive "high five" she sure didn't expect! The program took a moment to celebrate Shannon for 25 years of coaching with us.
Former Blue Devil player and current JV Coach Diana Carpenter gave a short speech to mark the occasion, and her family (and two wonderful dogs) also came forward to say congratulations! Assisting in the presentation was Colleen Gloude, representing the Camden Field Hockey Boosters.
However, we still wait to hear what the plural of Lorax actually is. The great mystery of our time continues....
