Mrs. Willson's homeroom celebrated a "Successful September" with a morning cup of hot chocolate during math class last week! October is off to a good start!
World events, negative or positive, are an opportunity for topical and teachable moments.
The recent fallout of Helene, and the conversation about Milton as it prepares to make landfall on Florida's gulf coast have sparked some curiosity among our Middle School students about how hurricanes form, and what they're capable of. To help keep students informed, Mrs. Britton has brought out some meteorology books as a featured collection.
A long musical journey begins with a few notes!

Pictures from yesterday's semifinal defeat at top-seeded Oneida in the Section III Class B Girls Tennis Team Tournament. The Blue Devils got their lone victory of the day from Hailey Heath at second singles.
The team has had a fantastic dual match season with a 12-4 record overall and a second place finish in its division of the TVL. All four of their losses came against the two TVL Division Champions: Oneida and Whitesboro.
Up next is singles and doubles individual tournament play next week!

Last week in art class at McConnellsville with Miss Lis, kindergarteners finished up their spiders full of lines! Students learned the "Line Song," that teaches students what a horizontal, vertical and diagonal line look like.
You can find these spiders crawling in the hallways of McConnellsville! If you come to visit for the Spooktacular on October 16th, or for something else, make sure you don't squish any! They're friendly!
October's character goal at McConnellsville is to be a SELF-DIRECTED learner! The student council is making daily announcements to help students learn and understand what that means, and they've also continued their campaign by making hallway posters!
Congratulations to the girls' varsity tennis team on a 3-2 win in the quarterfinal round of Section III Team Tournament play on Monday! The Blue Devils got a long-awaited win by defeating the team that eliminated them last year, South Jefferson.
The Blue Devils got the edge in the match through a win at second singles by Lainie Liberatore, and victories from both doubles pairings. Abigail Arnold and Alexis Albrecht won at first doubles 6-3, 6-3, and Dolmae Honrales and Rylee Greggains secured perhaps the match's most pivotal victory with a three set win at second doubles.
Camden, the fourth seed in the tournament, is back at it today for the semifinals against top-seeded Oneida. The match will start at 3:30 at Oneida High School.
Last night was an important one at the CHS Stadium as the Blue Devil Field Hockey programs hosted Morgan's Message Night! The evening raised funds and awareness for the Morgan's Message organization and its advocacy efforts for student-athlete mental health.
All three Camden Field Hockey teams were in action.
Before the varsity game, our Morgan's Message Student-Athlete Ambassador, Ryen Lago, gave a brief speech about what the cause means to her before her squad took on RFA. With the help of Camden High School Social Worker Michelle Mellon, Lago has founded a Morgan's Message club at CHS with the aim of continuing to support this important work.
A special thank you to all who attended, as well as to Dean's Concessions, Two Broke Besties, and Olive Grove Gathering Co. for coming on board to support the cause!
While the score wasn't what we wanted, getting to gather as a community was its own victory.

Our school bus wasn't the only bus to appear in Saturday's parade!
The Camden Alumni Soccer game is certainly an exciting homecoming tradition, and one we're proud to see continue for 2024! Over 30 CHS Soccer Alumni laced up their best soccer boots and came out to re-live their high school soccer glory in the company of friends and family!
Prior to Saturday's game, we had the good fortune to welcome a terrific group of soldiers from the United States Army 10th Mountain Division for a public exhibition of one of their Apache helicopters! It's safe to say that our students, staff, and community loved the chance to see one of these incredible machines up close.
A special thank you to the the 10th Mountain Division, 6th Squadron, 6th Calvary Regiment for spending some time with us, and to the Rome Recruiting Station for helping to set this up.
