Of course, the occasion wasn't complete without a few Blue Devil hoops alumni stopping by to join the group!
Before break, the Camden High School FFA held its Christmas party. About 20 students attended! The Camden High School FFA is growing its membership each week!
DDP Students at CHS completed the Nut Cracker Project just in time for Holiday Break! These functional nut crackers look a lot different than the traditional toy soldiers but sure get the job done. Students designed and constructed their blocks, learning to cut threads using a tap and dye set and they applied a food-safe finish.

On Tuesday, December 17th, Mrs. Dacey’s MVCC Business/Personal Law class had a special guest to share his unique perspective on how the law impacts his day-to-day duties in the Camden Central School District.
That guest? None other than CHS Assistant Principal Dr. William Snyder. Dr. Snyder shared a lot of details with the class about how the law constantly overlaps with school administration. Among the topics he discussed included school codes of conduct, progressive discipline, and the compulsory age to attend school. He also discussed how the law governs suspension, expulsion, and student searches.
Within the framework of the law, he stressed the importance of giving students every opportunity to make a situation right through teachable moments and second chances, in hopes of empowering them to become productive students and citizens.
He also discussed the scope of jurisdiction for our district School Patrol Officers, and their role in protecting the safety and security of the school community.
Outside of performing in their recent holiday concert, the Camden High School select choirs have been busy this season. They have sang at the Camden Tree Lighting, Toys for Tots, and the Camden Holiday Stroll. They recently finished off the season by caroling at some residences in the village!

Many of our Camden High School student musicians attended the Syracuse performance of The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight last night! The performance was held at the OnCenter's Crouse-Hinds Theater in Syracuse.
The Rock Orchestra was established in 2020 and is a collective group of classical musicians that breathe beautifully dark energy into legendary rock and metal through a fusion of the two genres. It was an amazing experience!
Getting pumped up for the week ahead.
