If there's one thing we love in Camden, it's a parade! Thanks to all who came out to enjoy or participate in this lovely weather, and so great to chat with many of you along your route today!
No word on whether or not the hats were purchased, or if they came out of a rocket-shaped claw game at Pizza Planet, but they are most certainly outstanding!
On Monday, October 7th, the Camden Field Hockey programs will be hosting a dedication game on behalf of Morgan's Message. Morgan's Message is a non-profit that strives to destigmatize mental health challenges within the student athlete community, all the while demonstrating that mental health is equally important to physical health among student-athletes.
In support of this cause, a new club has formed at Camden High School, and field hockey student-athlete Ryen Lago will be our Student Ambassador for this event.
Dean's Concessions will be on hand to serve food, and they will be donating some of their proceeds to the organization. There will also be a table set up to hand out information about Morgan's Message during the event.
JV and Modified will take the field at 4:30, and Varsity will follow at 6.
If you have any questions about this event, reach out to Michelle Mellon at (mmellon@camdencsd.org).
Today, we learned that Varsity Field Hockey has a hidden talent for Musical Chairs. To say the competition got intense..... wouldn't really do it justice.
Whether it was human bowling, musical chairs, a makeshift rodeo, tug of war, football game, or a 4x100 meter track relay featuring pepperoni in place of your everyday aluminum baton, our student-athletes certainly made PepFest 2024 memorable with some great skits!
The afternoon also featured performances by the CHS Cheerleaders and CHS Choir, along with the unveiling of the senior superlatives to the student body. Let's go Blue!
Whether it was Princess/Hero day, or Blue and White Day, or some combination of both, our students brought the ENERGY on Friday!
Given that it's Princess and Hero day at CES, it's only fitting that the school community found a way to get Mr. Ferretti his own crown. He has been dubbed the GOAT of Camden Elementary, complete with a crown from Ms. Levensailor!
For Hero Day, he wanted to dress as his dad, who has served in the military, and also works with the cybersecurity firm AIS! How wonderful!
Action photos from Wednesday's cross country tri-meets between Camden, RFA, and VVS! There was competition at the varsity and modified levels.
It's a Bird.... it's a Plane.... Actually, it's the varsity boys' soccer team during spirit week! They'll look to come out flying in their next match at Oneida on Tuesday!
On Wednesday, Mrs. Libertella and Miss McCarthy took a small group of students on a citizen science field trip! They visited the Fenner Renewable Education Center in Cazenovia, along with Chittenango Falls!
Students in Mrs. Malenowski's 2nd grade IFA reading group at McVille completed their first STEM challenge last week! They created rafts out of makerspace materials, and after seeing if it would float, they tested the waters - literally - to see how many pennies it could hold!
Got Blue? Got White? Got Spirit? Why not all three!?!?!?!?
Also, check out Mr. Zalepeski's tie! That's awesome!
That's one mighty blue and white crew... on a field trip to the Zoo! That's where Miss Stone's second graders were yesterday!
This was certainly one of the more detailed PepFest skits we saw today. They made sure to pick up the spare, and also added in the Wii Sports Bowling Music for good measure!
On Thursday, Camden Elementary School held a pep rally with the CHS Cheerleaders, and many of our fall sports athletes! The event builds school spirit while also developing leadership skills. It also gives our younger students some positive role models that are still in school, just like them! In addition, the athletes were able to explain a bit about what's important in their sport, which may inspire a few students in the room to take those sports up later on!
The CES Student Council was at the front of the room to help lead the students in all of the cheering alongside our CHS Cheerleaders!
The Camden Varsity Cross Country program recognized its eight seniors ahead of Wednesday's home meet at the Osceola Ski and Sport Resort. Congratulations to the following members of the Camden XC Class of 2025: Ari Levin, Elijah Jackson, Billy Bernabe, Jacob Lago, Jayden Osborne, Dylan Poole, Urion Conley, and Xander Seymour!
6th Graders are certainly taking spirit week up a notch! Especially on Wednesday's "Dress as a Princess or Hero" celebration in line with this year's homecoming theme!
From Spiderman, to Batman, to Naruto, we had a wide range of superheroes. One student you'll see here even decided to come to school as their own father for hero day!
It is October 3rd. So it's only fitting that today's theme was to wear pink this year, and the CHS Social Studies department was happy to oblige. The only downside was that it didn't fall on a Wednesday this year, but we're rolling with it.
Fun Fact: This is the 21st occurrence of October 3rd since the movie referenced here, Mean Girls, was released in April of 2004.
By the way, if you addressed four candy grams to Glen Coco, we're sorry to report that he is.... not here.
Attention Blue Devils of All Ages!
Have you ever wanted to see an Apache AH-64 Helicopter from the United States Army up close? Perhaps you’d like to meet its pilots and ask a few questions. Well, you can do exactly that on Homecoming Saturday, October 5th!
The 10th Mountain Division, 6th Squadron, 6th Calvary Regiment will be hosting an on-site helicopter display at Camden High School prior to the evening’s football game against Central Valley Academy.
The helicopter will be landing at CHS at 5 PM, with the designated landing zone currently scheduled for the outfield of the Camden High School front softball field. You’ll have the opportunity for a meet and greet with the pilots of this remarkable machine, and an opportunity to take photos with it if you’d like.
The helicopter will be departing Camden High School at approximately 6:15 PM. Foot traffic on the premises in the immediate vicinity of the landing zone may be briefly restricted during the arrival and departure time periods to ensure a safe and secure arrival and departure.
