In the fight against breast cancer, our teams stand as one. Our Field Hockey program and the varsity girls' soccer team teamed up this evening with their annual pink out game. There were food trucks on site along with some neat raffles to raise money for breast cancer charities.
As of this writing, there is still time to get here for the second half of the Varsity Field Hockey game! Camden and Whitesboro are tied at 0.
You never know where a high five from Coach McPheron is coming from, and tonight, she was the surprise recipient of a massive "high five" she sure didn't expect! The program took a moment to celebrate Shannon for 25 years of coaching with us.
Former Blue Devil player and current JV Coach Diana Carpenter gave a short speech to mark the occasion, and her family (and two wonderful dogs) also came forward to say congratulations! Assisting in the presentation was Colleen Gloude, representing the Camden Field Hockey Boosters.

Saturday will be lots of fun, but there are some big home games on Thursday and Friday that could use your support, too!
On Thursday, the CHS Morgan's Message Club is working with Boys' Soccer on its latest dedication night to advance the cause of student-athlete mental health. Kickoff is set for 4:30 PM.
On Friday, the Girls' Soccer and Field Hockey programs are teaming up for their "Pink Out Night" for Breast Cancer Awareness. All three Field Hockey teams will be in action, as will the Girls' Varsity Soccer team.
Recently, students at Camden High School participated in the annual “Chalk the Walk” initiative. Chalk the Walk offers students the opportunity to cover a school sidewalk with empowering and positive messages in chalk, and provide their peers with an enduring message - no matter what you’re going through, you aren’t alone. Led by CFLR Prevention Coordinator Ambur Kowalski, this event takes place each September at CHS, and at schools across the country in observance of Suicide Awareness Month.
In addition to the sidewalk, Kowalski also led a rock painting at the CHS Connected Community Schools hub. While chalk will fade, these rocks will provide an enduring positive message for all throughout the school year.
Varsity Football and Cheerleading are on the road for a 7 PM kickoff tonight at VVS!

On Thursday, October 2nd, the boys' varsity soccer team will host Holland Patent, and the club will be on hand again with their info table, fundraiser raffles, a photo opportunity, and a visit from the Mr. Squeeze lemonade stand!
About Morgan's Message:
Morgan's Message is a national organization founded in memory of Duke University women's lacrosse student athlete Morgan Rodgers.
