High school agriculture student and FFA member Mary Hall spend the morning in the CMS agriculture room. Mary is a 10th grade student who has regents week free and decided to dedicate some of her time to educating CMS students about guinea pig production. Mary had 3 groups of students in grades 6-8 for 25 minutes each. Mary was not only able to educate the students but also show them some of her very own guinea pigs. Mary showcased excellent leadership skills and public speaking skills during her time in the CMS agriculture room. Way to go Mary!

These are a few of our fifth grade friends who have been enjoying lunch with us in the media center all school year. After they eat they have a little free time. It has been a joy to watch some of them blossom from quiet and shy to confident and sure. Here they are practicing their public speaking skill by pretending to be on the show Shark Tank.

Greenhouse management students worked hard today harvesting lettuce from the greenhouse to provide to the HUB. This was the first crop harvested from the greenhouse and won't be the last!
Floral design is a choice elective offered to 7th and 8th grade students that have an extra free period in their schedule. Students learn how to care and process flowers. This course would not be possible without donations from local funeral homes and staff. Today Mrs. Kirk brought in a donation of flowers from a local wedding expo! This donation makes floral design opportunities possible for our students without a financial impact to our district.
8th grade students learned about the needs of rabbits and how to properly care and handle them. The classroom pet Fawn was used as an excellent learning model. Students finished class by calculating how much it costs to own a rabbit for a year. Students were shocked how expensive rabbits were to care for.
Students in greenhouse management are working hard to grow various crops aeroponically. Students are growing a variety of crops learning about crop needs, pH, propagation, and nutrient deficiencies. The agriculture program is always facilitating hands on learning opportunities!
The Camden CSD is on a 2-hour delay today, Wednesday, January 7, 2026, to allow more time for our roads and parking lots to be cleared. Our morning BOCES and morning Pre-Kindergarten classes are canceled for today.
Students are hard at work getting the greenhouse up and running!

We don't know if there'll be snow.... but have a cup of cheer!
Students in 8th grade agriculture designed and spread "cups of joy" to CMS staff last week! Each group of students got to choose an educator in the building to surprise with a floral arrangement and a sweet note! The flowers were donated from local funeral homes and the supplies used to create the floral arrangements came from a grant provided by the Tuthill foundation.
The students were beyond excited to spread joy and create some beautiful floral masterpieces!

The third and final day of the CTE Holiday Festival at Camden Middle School took fifth grade students to the technology room for a wooden ornament decorating experience with Mr. Hickey! With the help of Mrs. Evans and Miss Bond, students decked out some new tree decorations while also learning about the technology classes they'll take later in middle school! Mr. Hickey also gave them a tour of the room and the various tools they'll get to use.
Adding an extra festive touch was a visit from the CMS Kindness Club, who swung by to hand out some candy grams!
Created for fifth grade students, the CTE Holiday Festival is a three-day event intended to expose the youngest learners at Camden Middle School to the opportunities available in the areas of agriculture, technology, and home & careers.
