While the eclipse was happening, so was some incredible photography and scientific observation at Camden High School! Our own Betsy Bernabe pulled in these incredible pictures with her solar filter-fitted camera, and son Danny, Class of 2021, was recording and measuring radio frequencies for his capstone project at LeMoyne College! (Those keyboard stickers he's got are pretty cool, too.)

The future's so bright they gotta wear shades...... And it got dark for a few minutes yesterday, too. Mrs. Currie's 9th period class was excited to receive their solar glasses and a photo of totality!

CHS Student Katelyn Hall checks in with this remarkable view of yesterday's event!

Now that's what we call a top level view! Thanks to Aurora Williams for passing these along! Want to send yours? camdenphotos@camdencsd.org

Happy Eclipse Day from first grade students at Camden Elementary School!

Students, Parents, and Staff: Going out to view the Eclipse this afternoon? We'd love to see where you're taking it in from! Send any pictures of your viewing group you'd like to share by email to camdenphotos@camdencsd.org, and we'll share as many as we can! Note: We do not recommend photographing the eclipse itself unless you have the proper filter equipment to do so. Doing so without proper equipment could potentially damage the device or camera you are using to take photos. Safety Tips: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety/

On Friday, April 5th, the Camden Central School District Athletic Department took a select group of female student-athletes to attend the IIHF Women's World Championship's Women in Sports Summit hosted by Utica University in partnership with Oneida County. Guest speakers included Olympic Gold Medalist Angela Ruggiero (Ice Hockey), and Olympic Bronze Medalist Erin Hamlin (Luge). There's a big game tonight at the championships! The two teams that have won every World Championship gold in the event's existence, the United States and Canada, meet in a group stage game tonight at 7 PM in Utica.

Students in Mrs. Andrews' Art Classes at CHS are making commemorative eclipse ornaments!

The Camden Central School District has a wide variety of work on display at the Oneida Lake Heritage Center Eclipse Art Show! Thanks to all who came for Saturday's reception event.

From departure to return, the NHS students represented our community well throughout the day, and made some great memories to last a lifetime.

The NHS Trip to Washington DC featured an appearance by a familiar face. Hannah Crossman '15 was the group's unofficial tour guide for the day. Crossman, a former NHS member herself, has been working in DC as a member of the office staff for Representative Pat Fallon (R-TX-4th). Of course, the chapter brought along a few tokens of appreciation from home to say thank you. The officer slate presented their gifts in front of the Washington Monument!

On Friday’s trip to Washington DC, the National Honor Society started the day at the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum. While several hours away, the members got to see a touch of home at the Museum’s Stamp Collecting Table. The table was made possible through the support of Camden’s own Mystic Stamp Company, along with the Sundman family. It gives museum visitors the opportunity to pick up a selection of collectible stamps as a memento in hopes that maybe they’ll consider taking up the hobby of stamp collecting! Special thanks to Donald and Chacea Sundman, and the Mystic Stamp Company, for graciously donating a combined total of $10,000 to the society last week.

The big day is almost here!
