The Camden Middle School Media Center is thankful for its Featured Guest Librarians. This particular group of fifth graders has embraced the task with gusto!
We start out with Evan Morrison. He loves I Survived and he as become an advocate for our library. He has shown several others how to become a guest librarian. He created a poster and he is in the midst of making a video about the current featured guest librarians. He has gone above and beyond our wildest expectations.
Next up in Skylar Crysler. She loves the author Beverly Cleary and didn't stop asking about her chance to become a featured guest librarian from the second she found out about it. Her enthusiasm for the task really shines.
Last, but not least, we have Hailey Hollingsworth. Hailey is always showing off her shelf to anyone who walks into the library when she is in there. She is always eager to show off what she is interested in reading to her fellow students!
Thank you to these three amazing students. We will have new Guest Librarians in the New Year.

Greenhouse management students worked hard today to harvest and package fresh lettuce and basil. All prepared produce is going to be available at the OPEN Grocery HUB Pickup tonight! This was all made possible through a grant from the National FFA Organization!

At this morning's 7th and 8th grade student meeting, Camden Police Chief Sean Redden paid a visit to CMS to give a brief overview of what is considered violence and harassment, and the consequences that may lie ahead for either as they get closer to adulthood. Thanks for stopping by, Chief!
Shout out to Stephanie Calabro for always coming to school with the energy it takes to teach pre-teens! And for her awesome dancing skills during our Silent Dance Party! And reminding me about ThrillShare...you're the real MVP girl!
Camden FFA received a $5,000 grant through Tractor Supply over the summer. The grant was utilized to purchase supplies to open a "salad bar" in the middle school agriculture classroom! The salad bar is stocked with fresh lettuce grown by agriculture students in greenhouse management. Students have learned many skills through running this grant funded project such as food safety skills, sustainability, and the most important skill of all compassion. Students know that keeping this salad bar stocked with fresh salad kits enables students in need of a healthy snack are able to eat something nutritious! This project was able to feed 55 students in the first open day! Camdens agriculture program is constantly looking for new opportunities for students and this is one of the amazing opportunities that Camdens agriculture program offers!
5th grader Evan Morrison created this graphic with information on how to become a Featured Guest Librarian. Thank you, Evan, for helping fellow students realize how simple it is to become a guest librarian.
Thank you to all of our readers! Our school has reached IGNITER status on the Beanstack Participation Levels. That means we have surpassed 25% participation!

The CMS Musical Cast is putting in the work to be ready for next week's production of "Beauty and the Beast Jr.!"
On Friday November 7th, special guest Alexis Albrecht lead the CMS FFA meeting! Alexis is currently the Camden FFA student advisor - and part of her role and responsibilities is assisting with middle school FFA meetings. Alexis spent the meeting educating young members about FFA official dress and the meaning of the FFA emblem. The meeting ended with an activity where students created their own FFA emblem that symbolizes them!
The Camden Middle School Media Center is celebrating National Native American Heritage Month this November by displaying a selection of fiction and non-fiction books about Native Americans. November is a time to celebrate the traditions, languages, and stories of Native American and Alaska communities and to make sure that their contributions and history is not forgotten by future generations.
We also still have a display of books from our guest author, Katre Messner. Kate visited us last week and gave the students a mater class on writing and revising. Stop in and see what we have to offer!

An unforgettable new tribute adorned the outside of Camden Middle School on Monday as the CMS Social Studies Department created its display for the 2025 Disabled American Veterans “Field of Flags” Program! The program raises money for the DAV organization and its work supporting veterans.
Throughout the last few weeks, the generosity of our community has allowed the department to collect about $1500.00 to go toward this worthy cause. For each $250.00 raised, they received two dozen flags to arrange outside of the building. Our fundraising total allowed for 144 flags to be planted.
During the school day, Social Studies classes were given an overview of the meaning of Veterans Day, and a reminder of the immense effort and sacrifices needed to maintain our freedoms, and our way of life as they walked past this powerful display.
A very special thank you is in order to all of the donors, along with Mr. Jeff Doran, whose leadership guided this project to incredible heights in its first year. The hope is to make this bigger and bigger as the years go on!
