On Friday, Miss Mulvaney's first grade class took its opportunity to host Camden Elementary School's Morning Program! This weekly assembly for the building's younger students provides a space for students to practice presentation skills, learn how to be part of a good audience, and include family members in a school activity.
For their go-round as the host class, these first graders delivered an energetic start to the day with a talent show filled with singing, dancing, and impressive physical feats!

The CHS Morgan's Message Club is back for another year raising awareness of the importance of student-athlete mental health! This year, the club has grown from one student ambassador, Ryen Lago '24, to four: Grady Salmon '28, Aubrey Mitchell '28, Lilly Ritenour '27, and Kamryn Gloude '28.
The club, led by advisor Michelle Mellon, has worked with our athletic programs to organize two upcoming dedication events:
On Wednesday, September 24th, the girls' varsity tennis team hosts Oneida for a 3:30 PM start. The club ambassadors will read a short message before the game, and will have a table handing out pamphlets, bracelets, and stickers.
On Thursday, October 2nd, the boys' varsity soccer team will host Holland Patent, and the club will be on hand again with their info table, fundraiser raffles, a photo opportunity, and a visit from the Mr. Squeeze lemonade stand!
About Morgan's Message:
Morgan's Message is a national organization founded in memory of Duke University women's lacrosse student athlete Morgan Rodgers. Its mission is to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health challenges within the student-athlete community and help athletes take care of themselves in the mental aspect as much as they do the physical aspect of their sport.

The CMS Library's Fifth Grade Lunch Bunch has decided that Two Mrs. Bs in the Middle School Library just aren't enough - so they took it upon themselves to name the barcode scanners Mrs. Beep and Mrs. Boop. Welcome Beep and Boop to the crew!
Mr. Petrie's Residential Structures class spent the last 2 weeks learning about plot plans and building lines. Students modeled a building layout using plywood, nails and string, keeping a critical eye on accurate measurements. Later, they got into groups of 4 and applied this knowledge to a full scale site. Groups took time to layout a perfectly square 8' x 12' building. They drove stakes and leveled line just like the professionals in the real world. By the end, students were ready for a (hypothetical) excavator to start digging!

On Wednesday, September 17th, the newest members of the Camden Central School District Board of Education participated in a welcome event for student board of education representatives in New York. Student representative Isabella Keller and alternate Ella Winters took part remotely alongside hundreds of their peers from across the state.
