Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from CES Room 38 with Miss Stone!
Reminder to all Winter Walking Program participants. Due to the holiday recess, today, Friday, 12/20, is the final day of the program for 2024. We look forward to welcoming you back as school re-starts on Monday, January 6th, 2025.

On Tuesday, December 17th, Mrs. Dacey’s MVCC Business/Personal Law class had a special guest to share his unique perspective on how the law impacts his day-to-day duties in the Camden Central School District.
That guest? None other than CHS Assistant Principal Dr. William Snyder. Dr. Snyder shared a lot of details with the class about how the law constantly overlaps with school administration. Among the topics he discussed included school codes of conduct, progressive discipline, and the compulsory age to attend school. He also discussed how the law governs suspension, expulsion, and student searches.
Within the framework of the law, he stressed the importance of giving students every opportunity to make a situation right through teachable moments and second chances, in hopes of empowering them to become productive students and citizens.
He also discussed the scope of jurisdiction for our district School Patrol Officers, and their role in protecting the safety and security of the school community.
Outside of performing in their recent holiday concert, the Camden High School select choirs have been busy this season. They have sang at the Camden Tree Lighting, Toys for Tots, and the Camden Holiday Stroll. They recently finished off the season by caroling at some residences in the village!
This can be a joyful time of year, but remember to keep your eyes open for any..... Grinch-y activity. These two just tried to take Dutch's floor cleaning machine for a joyride at Camden Elementary. Thankfully, we stopped them before they could steal Christmas. That's a relief!
From building gingerbread houses.... to seeing how the pros do it! Mrs. McPheron took her students down to the Turning Stone Resort today for a behind-the-scenes tour of how they constructed their impressive Gingerbread House display!
On Wednesday, Camden Elementary Students were celebrated for meeting their building-wide attendance goals through the CES Power Paw Program!

Mrs. Libertella took her MVCC Dual-Credit Chemistry students to the MVCC Utica Campus today to test their samples of silver utilizing the institution's Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer.
In addition, they were given a tour of their FAB Lab and Machine Shop! Thanks to Mohawk Valley Community College for welcoming our students and always being a great partner.
A few moments from last night's 6th grade holiday concert! These students delivered a performance that was surely worth the wait!
We recently asked this reading bike in the CMS Library to play the 1991 hit "Two Princes" for us. Unfortunately, while it is a Spin Doctor, it was not in the band Spin Doctors. Sigh.
Last week in art class with Miss Lis, 4th graders in Mrs. Hollis’s class finished their self-portraits. Great job!
