Drama students at Camden High School performed monologues they prepared for class to small audiences of their fellow students last week! Monologue performance gives students an opportunity to polish their presentation skills, move further out of their comfort zones, and gain a new perspective on a major aspect of the theatrical arts. For some students, this opportunity also marked the first time they've performed a dramatic or comedic work on stage.

Our Camden Connected Community Schools team was out in force at the Camden Holiday Stroll!


As a compliment to our existing Camden Connections Newsletter, The Camden Central School District is thrilled to offer a new semi-annual digital publication called Internet Connections!
Internet Connections is a digital magazine highlighting stories from around the District in an exciting photo-driven layout. It will fill in gaps between print newsletters. Filling many of the pages are stories you may have seen, or might have missed on our website and app. They are accompanied by exclusive new feature stories you won't find anywhere else.
Want to be among the first to see it? It will only be on the Camden CSD app until Monday, 12/19!
1. Download the free "Camden CSD" App available for iPhone and Android devices if you haven't already.
2. On the App's main menu, hit the "District Newsletters" button.
(Make sure you've selected "Camden Central School District" as the active school in your app to get that button to appear in your menu. Hit the "Schools" button in the lower right hand corner of the app to change sections of the app.)

Another successful year! Mrs. Malenowski's Third Grade IFA Reading Group raised $795.07 for McConnellsville's award-winning Pennies for Puppies initiative! The funds will be donated to the Wanderers Rest Humane Association in Canastota. Thank you to all who supported our students in this endeavor!

That moment when one of our teachers steps out onto the court and starts draining three-pointers.....

Camden Middle School Spanish teacher Lisa Kuc had snowballs (Bolas De Nieve!) flying in her classroom last week!
Don't worry, they weren't real ones and nobody made a mess.
They practiced the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking in Spanish while having fun with "snowballs" without the cold.


Check out these photos of some of our elementary character education award winners! These "Cougars with Character" and "Bobcats with Character" received these certificates at school assemblies for their effort and attention towards November's character emphasis, teamwork!
