It's a great day to be a Blue Devil.
Thursday is a busy one for Athletics! Lainie is on the links at the Cedar Lake Club today, while baseball and softball take on their quarterfinal opponents.
Today, we celebrated Senior Day for the Camden Unified Basketball Team!
Organized in conjunction with the New York State Public High School Athletic Association and Special Olympics New York, the Unified Sports program provides an accessible and inclusive sports participation experience for students with intellectual disabilities.
In the Unified program, players with intellectual disabilities compete on teams alongside players without intellectual disabilities. Every student is given an opportunity to use their skills to contribute to the success of the team, and together, they unlock the power of pursuing a common goal.
Thank you to Nevaeh Myers, Haley Cook, and Madyson Austin for your contributions to the Unified Sports program. We were excited to celebrate you today!
The Blue Devils are coached by Ashley Chanatry and Sarah Falanga.
Our CHS Students absolutely rocked it at last night's concert! The Jazz Band, Saints, String Ensemble, Acouschicks, Orchestra, Concert Choir, and Concert Band performed to a near-capacity crowd and were terrific! Throughout the night, the ensembles recognized their seniors and their NYSSMA festival participants.
What is all this "Buzz" about in the Greenhouse Management class? Look closely for clues!

They always say "Don't Have a Cow", but we can't help ourselves.
We can't imagine a middle school career day without a cow now.
At the Sports and Fitness Career Day station, some of our middle school students tested their strength against Dr. Mitch from the MVPT Camden Office!

Then....... and Now.
Thanks to Jacob Clark '11 for visiting us at CMS for eighth grade career day! Jacob came by to discuss his work with the New York State DEC Environmental Conservation Police as one of many speakers we had today.
The next few days are going to move along quickly for Blue Devil Athletics! Section III Tournament Play is here.
Also on Wednesday, catch Unified Basketball in action at home against VVS! That game will tip at 4:15 if you'd like to come support the team.
Baseball and Softball Brackets are out! Baseball will be the 3 seed and will play a first round game on Tuesday. Softball is the top seed, and will get the winner of Cortland and Oneida on Thursday in a quarterfinal.
Keep your eye on the ball, they said. So he did.
Some of the many highlights from this year's Senior Show at Wednesday's District-Wide Art Show! We were very impressed by what the Class of 2024 had to offer as we walked the halls at CHS, and the commitment to high quality work and attention to detail showed in each piece.
If you left the art show thinking about dinner, there's a chance our CHS students helped. Check out these appetizing sculptures from the Studio in Ceramics Class!
On Friday, Camden Middle School hosted representatives from the Essential Elements Schools to Watch program for an initial designation ceremony.
The school community was presented with their initial designation banner, and the Camden community had a few surprises for our students as well! To celebrate, each student received a commemorative t-shirt designed by student Kenleigh VanWinkle and provided through the generosity of Mystic Stamp and the Sundman Family. There were also cupcakes in classrooms compliments of our local Tops store.
This is a significant milestone, but it is as much a new beginning as it is a culmination. Schools can re-apply to keep their designation every three years, and staff and students will be striving to uphold the standard they've created in the years ahead.
