For February, the CMS Library decided to show a little love and shine a spotlight on the nonfiction section. Who says it has to be dry and boring? We have so many fun, interesting reads like this!



The Camden boys’ bowling team placed fourth overall at the Tri-Valley League Championship tournament held on Wednesday, February 4th. As part of the occasion, the TVL All-Star teams were presented. Braylon Lyke, Alex Lallier, and Ayden Gerow landed first team honors, and Garrett Grinnell received second team salutations.
The Blue Devils finish off regular season competition on Friday against New Hartford, with the TVL’s regular season title on the line for Camden. After that, Gerow and Lallier will have a considerable amount of time to dial in their game for their next test. Both have qualified for the Section III Individual Shootout to be held on February 26th.

McConnellsville wore red, white and blue to honor Team USA on Thursday. They held an Olympic torch relay ceremony through the school and ended at the library, where there will be daily medal counts posted!
As you may remember, the 1996 and 2002 torch relays passed through the region en route to Atlanta and Salt Lake City, respectively. Did you have the opportunity to experience one, or both, in person?

Seniors at Camden High School will soon have their own dedicated multi-use study and socialization space at their disposal. The soon-to-be completed senior lounge will feature student-constructed tables and chairs from our technology classes, complete with power outlets.
A demo unit of the student-constructed furniture is currently on display in the main lobby if you'd like to see for yourself!

On Thursday, January 29th, the Mohawk Valley Jugglers Co-Op Hockey Program held its annual Teacher Recognition Night at the Utica University Nexus Center. Players choose a teacher from their home district to be recognized for their impact. For this year’s event, Camden junior Evan Buckingham chose Camden High School teacher Kimberly Dean!
Kim was unable to make it, so our own Megan Buckingham stepped in to help accept the honors on her behalf.
The Jugglers are a cooperative effort between Districts in the Utica/Rome area that do not sponsor their own boys' hockey program. There are currently 11 schools represented, including Camden, on this year's roster.

On Friday, January 30th, celebrating Respect was on the docket at McConnellsville's monthly character assembly! As always, each class recognized a handful of students who did an especially good job of exhibiting this important trait throughout the month. We were also thrilled to welcome our Pre-K students to this event for the first time!
The Bobcat community also took a moment to recognize the 100 students achieving perfect attendance for the month of January - and a challenge was issued by Mrs. Zangrilli for February! Throughout the month, she has set a goal for an average of 95 percent daily student attendance, or about 280 students in the building each day. We'll chime in with a few updates throughout the month!
