Last week, we were pleased to present some live theatre for our Pre-K students through an arrangement with Syracuse Stage! A traveling troupe came to McConnellsville to perform the play "Tiny Martians, Big Emotions". This was an interactive play with no spoken lines, so our PreK students were tasked with helping the martian characters to learn about emotions.

Brenden Chennells is headed to the State Meet! The junior punched his ticket to states with a winning performance at 800 Meters in yesterday's Section III Boys' State Qualifier Meet at Cicero North-Syracuse. He covered that distance in a new school record time of 1:57.86, improving on the previous program benchmark he set earlier this season. In a tactical race, Brenden sat eighth at the halfway point with an opening split of 1:00.36, then broke the will of the pack with a 57.51 in the closing 400 meters to win by over 1.5 seconds.

This year's NYSPHSAA Outdoor Track and Field State Championship will be held on June 13th and 14th in Webster, NY.

We find out later today if more Blue Devils will be joining him! The Girls' State Qualifier meet is on the docket at CNS.

Results will be posted here: https://milesplit.live/meets/766155/schedule

We have a few more 1/2 ton club members at Camden High School! Congratulations to junior Richard Angell and freshman Tanner Williams for becoming the latest CHS students to reach this milestone!

The 1/2 ton club is a recognition program for students in the CHS weight room. To become a member, a student must perform a squat, deadlift, and bench press at a combined weight of 1,000 pounds. Students have continued to build a tremendous sense of community around their efforts in the weight room, and that sense of community has continued to build results!

Although he is a freshman, Williams rose to a challenge met by students two and three years his senior. He summed it up beautifully with a classic saying.

"It is not the size of the dog in the fight, it is the size of the fight in the dog."
