The Varsity Boys’ Golf team is at today’s Section III Class A/B boys’ golf championship at Barker Brook Golf Club! As stipulated by Section III, the Blue Devils qualified as a team through their performances in two matches in which the team shot a combined score of 35-over-par or better, with at least one taking place away from the team’s home course. The away match clause was met with a combined score of 209 at Camroden GC against Holland Patent, and an impressive home performance of 182 total strokes against Notre Dame at McConnellsville Golf Club secured the team’s participation. The latter is a possible school record for a home match, but that has yet to be confirmed in totality.

Attending today’s championship are Logan Boncella, Alex Lallier, Garrett Grinnell, Colton Schuler, Ryeland West, and Cooper Benjamin. Also worthy of recognition is Talon Kimball, who could not take part today, but has shot as low as -1 over a nine-hole span this season to tie for the lowest recorded score on the squad with Boncella and Lallier.

Camden Middle School’s physical education classes recently completed their golf unit. During the unit, the class employs some.consumer-grade Optishot 2 projection golf simulators purchased through support from the Tuthill Foundation Grant. The class tests their skills with competitions for longest drive and closest to the pin, and in the latter, we had two students who couldn’t have done it any better!

Congratulations to fifth graders Lyla Hansen and Lucas Ward on their holes-in-one!

On Friday, May 8th, Camden Middle School was fortunate to host New York Times Bestselling Author Megan E. Freeman for a small group visit in the library media center. The author of the hit novels “Alone” and “Away” took an audience of excited Middle School and High School students behind the scenes of her writing process and her experiences writing novels in verse. She also answered some terrific student questions about the material. The two books are companion novels that explore the same central plot point from different points of view. Her work has become a highlight of Middle School English Language Arts classes across the country, including here in Camden.

Thank you for stopping by to share your expertise and perspective with our students, who loved meeting you!
