Connected Community Schools Site Coordinator Cole Brown recently went into Mrs. Holmes' classroom during 3rd and 7th period to teach students about job interviews. Students performed mock interviews with their teachers to demonstrate what to do and what not to do during a job interview!
Students have also spent class time working on resumes and cover letters, and will be working with Cole on another round of interviews as they get ready for college, trade school, or the job market!
It was a busy day on the diamonds yesterday with JV Softball, Varsity Softball, and Varsity Baseball all hosting Rome Free Academy!
Students in our Design for Drawing and Production classes at CHS recently built Solar Cookers! On Friday, they attempted to roast some hot dogs during a nice 80 degree day.
Students had to prepare their device by angling it towards direct sunlight. They recorded the temperature of the meat using a laser thermometer. Every student that tested reached over 100 degrees with the highest temperatures hitting over 145 degrees fahrenheit! The classes were led by Michael Petrie, Jeremy Calkins, and Jake Bates.
CHS Technology Students tested their Solar Cookers to roast some hot dogs during the nice 80 degree day last Friday. The pictures show students preparing their devices by angling them toward the sun and recording the temperature using a laser thermometer. Every student that tested reached over 100 degrees with the highest temperatures hitting over 145 degrees F.
Last weekend, the Camden High School Odyssey of the Mind teams attended the New York State Championships in Syracuse! The CHS program was fortunate enough to send two squads to states in this global problem-solving competition.
The team participating in the "Pirates and the Treasure" problem placed fifth with a hilarious sketch about "porch pirates", while the team contesting "The Most Dramatic Problem Ever!" placed tenth in New York State!
We'll have a full story on how the teams developed their work soon.
Congratulations!
Well done!

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!!!
