Congratulations to Mr. Klepadlo's accounting class on a job well-done! The students split into two teams to complete their annual "Apprentice Challenge" service learning project. The two teams competed to raise the most money by developing and executing a marketing plan for baked goods they sold during the school day. Team "Whoopie Bakers" raised $1,517.64 for the Ciani family, while the "Blue Devils Cafe" team raised $1,963.05 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. They achieved a combined total of $3,480.69 in funds raised!
This past weekend CHS Odyssey of the Mind teams competed at the NYS Fairgrounds. Both teams faced tough competition from other New York State schools. Camden was represented well and returned with these placements:
Problem 1 Team- 5th place
Problem 5 Team- 10th place
Congratulations to both teams!!!
