CMS Music Families: Please take note of the following memo from Principal Brittany DerCola regarding the Grade 5 Spring Concert.
We have a new friend in the reception area courtesy of the Camden High School Sculpture Class.
Doesn't get much work done that we can see, but is a pleasure to have around the office.
The McConnellsville Elementary PTO will have its next meeting on Wednesday, June 5th at 4:15 PM. It will take place in the library media center.

On Saturday, June 1st, the Camden Middle School Marching Blue Devils appeared in the prestigious Oz-Stravaganza parade in Chittenango. This weekend-long festival celebrates the "Wizard of Oz" story authored by Chittenango native L. Frank Baum, and features a wide range of honored guests such as Gita Dorothy Morena, who is Baum's great-grandaughter, and Jane Lahr. Lahr is the daughter of actor Bert Lahr, who played the Cowardly Lion in the famous 1939 motion picture.
Final score out of Malta, NY.
We are so very proud of what this team has accomplished this season, and how the standard of this program continues to escalate over time.

As we ran elementary track meets for third and fourth grade, we have some people to thank for making it happen. Keeping a track meet organized and running in a timely manner is no simple task, and our PE Teachers, 3rd and 4th Grade Teachers, and our student volunteers kept things running smoothly. Our high school students were great role models for their younger peers. Well done!
See these cutouts? They're a sign that the Summer Reading Book fair isn't just for elementary students.... Middle School students are also getting in on the fun next week! Thanks to a generous grant from the Virginia Tuthill Foundation, Camden Middle School will host its free summer reading book fair in the upcoming week!
As part of the fair, each student receives a free 25 dollar credit to spend on heavily discounted books, and will have the opportunity to visit during school hours with their ELA Classes! No other purchases beyond the 25 dollar credit will be allowed, so there is no need to send money in with your student.
On Wednesday, 5/29, 4th grade students from Camden Elementary and McConnellsville Elementary gathered at Camden High School to compete in the annual District-Wide fourth grade track meet. The athletes competed in running events as long as 400 meters, along with the 4x100 relay and field events such as the long jump, softball throw, football throw, and soccer ball kick for distance. Great job students!!!

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, these two images could go on for hours about the value of the Unified Sports program.

Section III. Class A. Champions. The Blue Devils took care of business yesterday!
A large group of Camden Middle School students participated in NYSSMA Solo Festivals recently. Festivals were held at Central Valley Academy on May 10th and 11th, and Mexico Academy on May 17th and 18th.
The festivals put students' musical skills to the test in a comprehensive manner. These students prepared a solo piece, and did scales and a sight reading exercise in front of highly qualified NYSSMA judges and adjudicators. Following their performance, they receive ratings and feedback from those individuals that they can use to become a stronger musician. This is a long process and an outstanding achievement for our young musicians!
Also, while we're here, let the record show that it makes us very proud to see students rocking the "Schools to Watch" commemorative t-shirts they received at the Middle School's recent initial certification assembly. Don't they look GREAT?!?
