On Saturday, Camden, NY joined thousands of communities across the country in participating in the Wreaths Across America program for a fifth consecutive year. The program seeks to honor veterans and their service with a dignified seasonal touch by laying a wreath of ten balsam bouquets at veteran gravesites across all 50 states and beyond. The program’s stated mission is to remember the fallen, honor those who have served, and teach the next generation about what those commitments mean.
Wreaths Across America takes place each December, and began with a wreathmaker in Maine who had a vision to have his surplus wreaths put to use at Arlington National Cemetery. That effort grew by leaps and bounds to ultimately become an event touching every corner of the country.
Over 300 wreaths were presented at the graves of local heroes as part of Camden’s observance, which were supplied by local donors. Several living veterans from our community were also recognized during the event.
The occasion included a heartfelt ceremony at Freedom Park, where Camden Central School District students had the honor of taking part. Junior Mikinzie Collins was selected for the ceremonial playing of “Taps”, and the Camden High School Select Choral Ensemble performed “The Star Spangled Banner”. Several CCSD students also participated in the wreath laying portion of the program, which took place at area cemeteries.

It's Mr. Fiorini's birthday! The staff at CHS decided to fill his office with balloons, but there was a catch: They had to find balloons that were not specifically for a birthday! From "Congratulations" to "Get Well Soon", our CHS Principal has had to maneuver around an increasing number of balloons throughout the day as he comes and goes. Mr. Petrie even cut and sanded a wooden balloon for his desk!
Happy birthday!

Local veteran Keith Cox paid a visit to Mrs. Kowalski’s 3rd grade IFA group to honor students with special military coins. This came about after the students performed a skit explaining Veterans Day at morning program, and writing countless letters to veterans to thank them for their service. Mr. Cox spoke to the students about their effort to go above and beyond the normal school curriculum by taking time to honor veterans. He gifted each child a military coin as a keepsake in remembering veterans. Each student was given a second military coin to give to a special veteran they know as a way to honor and thank them for their service. Thank you Mr. Cox for taking the time to visit, and making a huge impact on this group of students, and of course thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
