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!

From teaching the basics, to more advanced skills, to organizing what many of you saw last night, and most importantly giving every child the power to create something memorable, this is the group that makes it all happen!

Today is an exciting day! 47 students, five staff members, some community volunteers, and representatives from Hartgen Archaeological Associates, the Tug Hill Commission, and the Underground Railroad Education Center are on-site in the Florence Hill State Forest to continue a long-term archaeological study at the historic site of the former Florence Farming Association. Today's work will be concentrated in three areas. Pictured here, the student documentary team for the project is ready to get after it! We'll be headed up for the afternoon session of today's dig.

We couldn't think of a better way to kick off District Art Show week!
A few months ago, Miss Stone's second grade students were given a piece of paper and told to draw a monster of their own design. Those drawings were brought to the Camden High School ceramics class, where Miss Archibee had her students bring the work to life as clay sculptures!
On Monday, the second grade students had the opportunity to see the finished product they will be taking home soon. But first, the sculptures are going on display at Wednesday's District-Wide Art Show!
