Camden Central School District -

All after school activities are cancelled for Camden Schools on Thursday, February 15 due to poor weather.

Mrs. Keller and Mrs. Littler's class used candy hearts for a fun and educational Valentine's Day celebration in the classroom! They did a measuring exercise for some practice in learning about non-standard measuring units, and also did a science experiment. They dipped the hearts in soda, vinegar, and water, and were amazed when the ones in soda started moving! But why? The bubbles from the carbonation begin to attach themselves to each candy and begin lifting those candies to the top of the liquid. When the bubbles burst, the candy falls, and new bubbles begin attaching to lift it up once more.

On Tuesday, the Camden boys' varsity basketball team celebrated its Class of 2024 with Senior Night. Prior to a 71-62 win over VVS, the Blue Devils recognized Ryan Leos, Elijah Simmons, Kyle Halbritter, Brian Gonzalez, Azier Odom, and Alex McDonald for their contributions to the program. Junior Isaac Lynch led the Blue Devils in the game with 20 points and 7 rebounds as the Blue Devils rebounded from a slow start that saw them trailing 22-13 at the end of the first quarter. Ryan Leos added 18 points and 5 steals, and senior classmate Brian Gonzalez poured in 10 points of his own. Want to see what's next? You're in luck. The Blue Devils will host Notre Dame this evening (2/15) for a 6 PM tip off in their regular season finale. The Section III Playoff Seeding Meeting will be held on Saturday 2/17. We will pass along postseason information when that information becomes available.

Today was the valentine's day dance at McConnellsville, and Mr. Bird certainly couldn't resist the opportunity to bust out his best moves! As always, thanks for letting our staff and students take over the gym on this special day. More coming from this incredible event!

Last week, McConnellsville students "voted" to predict the Super Bowl winner. As it turns out, the majority of students were correct in picking the Chiefs to win it all!

The next "Look at Me, I'm Three" meeting will be held on February 28th! Remember to reach out to Mrs. Ferretti and RSVP if you are planning to bring your child. We're getting closer and closer to welcoming this group to Pre-K in the fall! How exciting!

Today is the last day to order your CHS Yearbook! Contact Mrs. Andrews ASAP if you have questions or need more information.

On the 100th Day of School, every one of these McConnellsville Elementary Students and staff members was in their senior year..... At least for one day!

Congratulations to Kolton Kelley and Talon Kimball! Kelley won an individual Section III Division II Wrestling Championship for a second straight year this weekend, while Kimball scored a runner-up finish in his weight class! Both athletes will advance to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Championships to be held on February 23rd and 24th at MVP Arena in Albany. As a junior, Kolton will represent Camden and Section III as its champion in the 131 lb. weight class, and will attend a second straight state meet. He was seventh in the state at 126 lbs a year ago. Talon will be appearing at his first state meet while wrestling at 116 lbs., and represents a big part of the state's long-term future in the sport as an eighth grader!

The District Office staff was pleased to get a quick valentine's day visit from our friend Oaklynn this morning! Of course, she came dressed in her festive best for the occasion!

100 days brighter, 100 days smarter, and their hats are also 100 percent awesome.

100 days into the year, we can't forget about our Nurses! Thanks to our health office teams for their attention to detail with our students over the last 100 school days. We know that through their hard work, we can finish this school year on a healthy note.

Happy 100th Day from Miss Leone's Class at CES!

At McConnellsville, Miss Wood's kindergartners made sure to give 100 percent on the 100th day! They stacked 100 cups, counted out 100 pieces of snacks in groups of 10 on a grid, and like many of their other friends around the building, they also looked the part by dressing as if they were 100 years old!

Camden Middle School is proud to present its A Pass High Honor Roll students for the second marking period. Students must have an overall average of 89.5 to be included on High Honor Roll. Students will be treated to some delicious snow cones on Friday to reward their academic achievements!

Mrs. Iverson's first graders celebrated 100 days of learning with some unique activities showcasing all the ways they can count to 100. They made 100th day hats, wrote about what they'd do with 100 dollars, did a vocabulary exercise where they had to write 100 different words, and enjoyed a little treat by counting lollipop licks to 100!

For the 100th day, Miss Mulvaney's first grade class at CES completed a 100 day snack challenge after creating special hats for the big day!
