Yesterday, Camden Middle School hosted all kinds of celebrities, dignitaries, inventors, authors, and athletes.... Well, sort of! Sixth grade students took a biography project to the next level by hosting a living wax museum. Each student had the chance to portray a notable person from the past or present, and offer information to others in attendance about their chosen individual!










There were Blue Devils everywhere you looked at last night's MOBOCES Annual Meeting!
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ravo Root was joined by Assistant Superintendents Karl Keil and Jason Evangelist. Board of Education members Tom Fanning and Misty Portner also attended.
Highlighting the evening for Camden was a brief SkillsUSA presentation by our own Gianni Liberatore, and an incredible student-prepared dinner that featured the handiwork of several Camden students from the Culinary Arts and Advanced Culinary Experience programs!
It was an honor and a privilege to be part of this occasion as we celebrated educational achievements from across the #MOBOCES region!







Don't forget about the upcoming April meeting for "Look at Me, I'm Three!"

It's "Sap Season" folks!
Last week, Mrs. Willson prepared an engaging lesson about where maple syrup comes for the agricultural elective class at CMS!
Willson also gave the students an opportunity to taste test real maple syrup vs the cheaper table syrup found alongside it in many stores. Students were surprised by the ingredient difference!
