Mrs. Willson's homeroom celebrated Thanksgiving with a little pie and some feel good notes. Each student arrived to find a plate with kind affirmations from their classmates next to their pie supplies. Students made their pies and enjoyed them topped with whip cream. CMS administrators and Dr. Root stopped by for some pie and to wish some of our students a Happy Thanksgiving. It was a great way to start the day!
All after school activities for the Camden Central School District are cancelled on Tuesday, November 21, due to poor weather conditions.
Were CMS staff members excited for Turkey Dinner day last week? You be the judge of that! Special thanks to Pearl Romano and the entire CCSD Food Service team for always making this day special for staff and students.
We hope you enjoyed joining Camden Middle School in their "Big Blue World" for their musical production of "Finding Nemo Jr."
Congratulations to the cast and crew on two wonderful performances!
Many classes at McConnellsville have been reading Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano. In the spirit of the book, students have created some disguises to help their feathered friends make it through the holiday.
Do you recognize any of these turkeys?
Thank you McConnellsville! The Third Grade IFA Reading Group raised $533.25 for their Pennies for Puppies/Coins for Kitties initiative! This money will be given to Paws For a Cause in Blossvale.
Mrs. Lapier's CMS engineers were hard at work investigating the forces of flight and gaining experience with the engineering design process! The challenge was to design and construct a paper airplane that would travel the farthest!
Do you have a student interested in exploring what they can do on stage, or maybe a student hungry for more experience after the CMS musical? Are you a college student living locally who wants to get back on stage?
If so, the Rome Capitol Theatre has extended an invitation for any prospective performers to join their Rising Stars program for a 10-week winter session.
Details are included in the attached image.

Today, students at Camden High School came to school in their pajamas to support a very special four-legged friend. This is Cooper.
Cooper is Mrs. Hooker's therapy dog. Unfortunately, Cooper was recently diagnosed with Histiocytic Sarcoma, and students decided to come together and show their support.
Mrs. Hooker and Cooper wanted to take a moment to thank every single person within the CHS community who showed their support during what can be a very challenging journey.
Mrs. Kowalski's 3rd grade students recently created clay animals as part of their culminating activity from their ELA instruction at CES!
Don't blink! It has already been a week since junior prom, and it sometimes feels like it was yesterday. We hope the Class of 2025 had a great time!
The moment you've all been waiting for.....
And might we say.... to give you a hint.... "Please sir, I want some more?!?"
All poetic phrasing aside, the CHS Music Department is pleased to announce that this year's Camden High School musical will be..... Lionel Bart's "Oliver!"
Save the dates: March 1st and 2nd! Come and join us for this splendid musical re-telling of the Charles Dickens classic "Oliver Twist".
Just four shows remain on the board for the 2024 CHS Musical! Mr. Klepadlo was the most recent special guest to take some shows off the big board!
Will it be Oliver? My Fair Lady? The Pajama Game? or Once Upon a Mattress? Stay tuned!
Oh.... by the way, it's as good a time as any to remind you to come and see the CMS Musical, Finding Nemo Jr!
Come support our students and bring the kids for some family-friendly entertainment that all ages will enjoy at Camden Middle School. Showtime for Thursday (11/16) and Friday (11/17) is 7 PM!
FREE ADMISSION!
The Camden Varsity Basketball programs will be hosting their annual Hoops Fest event on Friday, November 17th at 6 PM! Come meet the teams, see their skills, and witness a rematch of last year's epic Cops vs. Coaches game. Admission is free!
It's Back!
The Camden Central School District is pleased to renew an important health and wellness opportunity for District residents with the return of its “Winter Walking” program for the 2023-24 school year. Members of our community are invited to get out of the cold and stay active during the winter months as we provide a safe and climate-controlled place for you to get your steps and miles in, without the hassles of a long drive to the gym.
This exciting program returns on Friday, December 1st at Camden Middle School, and will be held Monday through Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Walking will not be held on school holidays, weekends, or snow days. We will also not be able to host this program on the following dates: December 4th, December 6th, December 13th, March 11th, March 13th, or March 20th. In addition, we may need to close to walkers on December 14th, but the District will follow up on that as that date gets closer to confirm.
Want to participate? Here are some guidelines to re-familiarize yourself with:
Walkers should use entrance “H” near the cafeteria on Third Street.
All walkers are required to sign in and out.
There will be a notice at the sign-in desk if the building is not open for walking.
You must remove any wet boots or shoes to help keep the floors clean for our hard-working custodial staff.
Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
When you are finished, you must promptly exit the building at or before 7:30.
CES Orchestra students are working hard on learning to play with their bows! For the last couple of weeks, students have eagerly been practicing correct bow technique in preparation for Mrs. Guhin’s “Jingle Bell Challenge”! To earn the Jingle Bell Challenge certificate, students must play their Jingle Bells solo, with their bow, by Christmas break.
Keep an eye out for some pictures in December of those students who have accomplished this goal!
Wednesday's Q&A session with Rick Yarosh of Sweethearts and Heroes was a wonderful experience for our CMS students!
The students got a chance to go back and forth with Rick on several topics that helped them understand his experiences. Rick, of Windsor, NY, was a five year veteran of the United States Army who had his life changed forever by an IED explosion during a tour of duty in Iraq. He travels to schools with his organization to spread his message of HOPE (Hold On, Possibilities Exist).
As an added bonus, we had the opportunity to see his Purple Heart up close and personal today, which is an especially powerful reminder of what it takes to serve with Veterans Day taking place over the weekend.
We would like to thank Rick and his associate Tom Murphy for spending the last two days with our students, and our students for being an incredibly supportive and engaged audience.
The CMS Media Center celebrated World Kindness Day by finishing a StickTogether collaboration puzzle featuring a dove and the word "peace."
Today all CMS students had the opportunity to see the powerful Sweethearts and Heroes presentation. Ask your students what H.O.P.E. means (hold on, possibilities are endless) and about the ABCs that they learned. The presenters Rick Yarosh and Tom Murphy also donated enough food for 25 families for Thanksgiving dinner. It was an AWESOME day at CMS! We're looking forward to what tomorrow brings with this group!
