Congratulations to sophomore Peyton Kelley on her fifth place finish at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association's 2nd Annual Girls' Wrestling Invitational. That finish landed on the podium in the 94 lb. division!
She becomes Camden's second podium finisher after Rylie Meagher made it in the inaugural event. Meagher competed at 100 lbs, and Abigail Hebble was also in action in the 165 lb. division!
The best is yet to come. All three athletes have years ahead of them yet, and NYSPHSAA is launching a formal State Championship in the sport for the next school year!

Did you know the Camden High School Band is currently in the running for a Syracuse Area Music (SAMMY) Peoples' Choice Award for Best Local Academic or Musical Organization? It's surely an honor just to be mentioned on the same list as some really great regional arts organizations, but alas, we are also competing.
The contest is currently in its third round of voting. You can vote once per day now until February 4th! Let's push our students on to the next round!

It's Teacher Appreciation Night for the Mohawk Valley Jugglers ice hockey program!
The Jugglers are a combined high school hockey program for students around Oneida County whose schools do not sponsor their own ice hockey teams, and Camden students are eligible to play as part of the team.
Before tonight's 7:30 PM puck drop against the Syracuse Cougars, CHS students Brodie and Evan Buckingham have chosen to recognize Camden technology teacher Jeremy Calkins as part of the festivities! The game will be held at the Utica University Nexus Center.
Today's the day! Good luck to Peyton, Rylie, and Abby as they step into the ring with the best talent in the state at today's NYSPHSAA Girls' Wrestling State Invitational at OCC in Syracuse!

Today's "One School, One Book" trivia question from Camden Elementary is listed below. It is from last night's assigned reading: Part 2, Chapter 1 from "The Year of Billy Miller."
Image credit goes to Lauren Platt at CES, who shared this with CES families yesterday on ParentSquare.
Don't forget tonight's reading! Part 2, Chapter 2!

The Camden Central School District is pleased to announce the launch of its new "Before the Bell" Before School program!

Pictures from Wednesday's girls wrestling match against Baldwinsville! We continue to see tremendous strides from this group in the second year of the program, and we couldn't be more excited for what our state invitational qualifiers do on Friday.

Camden FFA member Patrick Eveleth found a new friend earlier this week!
12 McVille fourth graders are part of a Lego Robotics club on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school. Tuesday's build was called "Classic Carousel", but the students brainstormed ways to enhance their builds and programs to make them "Crazy Carousels".
Last week in McVille art class with Miss Lis, Miss Fasulo’s kindergarteners finished their warm and cool colored snowmen. They did a great job using watercolor paint and oil pastels safely!
As the weekend rests on the horizon, let's take a moment to applaud everyone involved in Wednesday's spelling bee at CMS. From the Camden Middle School ELA department's efforts to organize this, to our students who had the courage to take the stage and give it their best shot, we're proud of each one of you.
Everybody wants to rule the "Word".
That's not actually how the song goes, but it certainly describes what nearly 60 competitors were thinking at last night's Camden Middle School Spelling Bee. Over about 90 minutes, our students spelled words from every corner of the dictionary until we had one competitor left standing.
Eighth grader Mary Hall was our winner in the thirteenth round. Her winning word was "Congregation". Last year's co-champion, eighth grader Justin Melnick, was second. Seventh grader Max Scholz rounded out our podium with a great run into the 10th round.
Mary has earned the opportunity to advance to the at-large Scripps regional qualifier if she elects to do so.
Congratulations to all of our contestants!
The Camden Girls' Varsity Volleyball program recently held its senior night festivities for the Class of 2024! Senior players Brooke Musch, Avery Prievo, Leah Runion and Braelin Page, along with manager Kevin Gloude, have played an important role in positioning the Blue Devils at an outstanding 11-0 start, and building off the great strides the program made last year under head coach Katherine Migliori.
The Blue Devils are just one of three teams in Section III Girls' Winter Volleyball to be undefeated at this point, and are the only unbeaten squad in Section III Class A!
The team is set to be back at home tonight against ESM! Match time is set for 7 PM!
That feeling when you get out of trouble early, and rally quickly to get the win. We can confirm the atmosphere in the gym, at this moment, was positively electric.
