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.

If you've been to CHS lately, you may have noticed that our parking lot wasn't the only thing getting decorated.
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.

The CHS Morgan's Message Club is back for another year raising awareness of the importance of student-athlete mental health! This year, the club has grown from one student ambassador, Ryen Lago '24, to four: Grady Salmon '28, Aubrey Mitchell '28, Lilly Ritenour '27, and Kamryn Gloude '28.
The club, led by advisor Michelle Mellon, has worked with our athletic programs to organize two upcoming dedication events:
On Wednesday, September 24th, the girls' varsity tennis team hosts Oneida for a 3:30 PM start. The club ambassadors will read a short message before the game, and will have a table handing out pamphlets, bracelets, and stickers.
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!

Mr. Petrie's Residential Structures class spent the last 2 weeks learning about plot plans and building lines. Students modeled a building layout using plywood, nails and string, keeping a critical eye on accurate measurements. Later, they got into groups of 4 and applied this knowledge to a full scale site. Groups took time to layout a perfectly square 8' x 12' building. They drove stakes and leveled line just like the professionals in the real world. By the end, students were ready for a (hypothetical) excavator to start digging!
Varsity football looks to get back over the .500 mark tonight as they host Homer for a 6:30 PM kickoff at the Camden High School Stadium!
