Our CMS Agriculture program is growing! Many of you know about the greenhouse project we're working on (and we are excited to show you!), but did you know we are also starting an FFA Chapter?
That's right. The FFA is coming to Camden this year!
A few of our charter FFA members recently went to the New York State Fair to observe multiple FFA competitions. Mary, Matt, and Kayla will hopefully compete in the poultry evaluation CDE at the fair next year. Students also saw the miracle of life at the dairy birthing center along with several other livestock shows.
More information about how your student can participate in FFA is coming soon!
Connected Community Schools is hosting a "Touch a Truck" night on August 30th!
"Touch a Truck" is an opportunity for children and families to come and see a wide variety of service vehicles up close. Your student can sit inside of a fire truck, police car, construction vehicle, etc. while learning more about the people who make vitally important services happen for our community every day.
Contact site coordinator Cole Brown for more information!
Here it is.... the September lunch menu!
Check it out online at https://www.camdenschools.org/o/chs/dining?filter=33385, or in the Camden CSD app!

Our August new staff orientation is underway!
McConnellsville Elementary School principal Heidi Allen recently received a large donation of school supplies from International Wire!
International Wire employees did their part to help McVille students go back to school without a list by organizing a supply drive. In conjunction with efforts from Connected Community Schools and the McConnellsville PTO, the three organizations were able to compile enough supplies to outfit each McConnellsville student for the start of a new year!
A reminder from Athletic Director Josh Mazzaferro:
