On Friday, a group of Camden High School student-athletes made history as they took part in the first-ever match for our brand new girls' varsity wrestling program! The match took place at Fulton.
7th Grader Rylie Meagher and 10th Grader Abigail Douglas both picked up victories in their respective bouts.
Congratulations on taking this huge step for our athletics program!
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! December's character trait for our elementary learners is responsibility! Let's see some responsible students to close out 2022 on a high note!
Today is an exciting and historic day for athletics in the Camden Central School District!

Mrs. Willson's homeroom at Camden Middle School is competing in the Mac & Cheese Challenge sponsored by NY Agriculture in the Classroom. The Mac and Cheese Challenge is a statewide competition between school groups to see who can produce the best recipe.
Students settled on a base recipe and are now discussing the extras to include that may help make their mac & cheese the winner!
Established in 1985, New York Agriculture in the Classroom (NYAITC) is a partnership of Cornell University, the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, the NYS Education Department, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and the New York Farm Bureau.

Good luck!
It's never too late to start thinking about getting active. Join us for Winter Walking on weekdays at Camden Middle School!
The Camden High School Counseling Office recently took a group of interested students on a field trip to MVCC's fall open house event on the Utica campus. Students took a tour of the campus and residence halls, attended presentations on admissions, financial aid, and housing, met with professors from the majors they were interested in, spoke with representatives of clubs, activities, and admissions, and were treated to a pizza lunch from MVCC Dining Services.
This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to see the campus, experience a college open house, and make connections with the MVCC faculty. A special thank you to Kenny Morrison, Asst. Director of Admissions, for facilitating our visit.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Congratulations are in order for Mr. Robert Steria. He was selected as the newest Honorary Adult Member of the National Honor Society's Camden Chapter. He was bestowed with the honors at last week's induction ceremony.
He becomes the fifteenth individual to receive that honor at CHS. Honorary adult members are chosen by NHS members in recognition of the positive influence they have on the school community.
One of the best compliments any one of us can receive is that of our students, and we're pleased to see Mr. Steria's dedication to Camden rewarded by the National Honor Society.
Congratulations to CHS student musicians Isabella Wing, Calli Evans, and Connor Perrotta who represented Camden at the Area All State Festival this past weekend in Little Falls!
Getting to this point requires a very challenging NYSSMA solo audition that is evaluated by some of the state's top music educators. Thousands of students try out each year in hopes of making the cut for an Area All-State, or All-State spot.
The puppies from Lewis Manor Labradoodles came to visit CMS before the break!
Mrs. Skinner and Mrs. Sessler's class at Camden Elementary School went on a virtual field trip yesterday to NYC to learn all about the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

A message from Dr. Root:
A local radio station is still listing local schools that closed last Thursday due to poor weather. Please know this does not mean these schools are closed tomorrow. The District is watching the weather closely and will make the call first thing in the morning. In order to find out if Camden Schools are closed or have a 2 hour delay please check the District Website, Camden App or Parent Square.
Have a good evening,
