Camden Middle School -

Students are hard at work getting the greenhouse up and running!

There is SNOW better time to read than now! Stop down to the Camden Middle School Media Center and check out these cold weather books we have on display. There is a little bit of something for everyone! We have nonfiction, graphic novels, sports, and even some amazing picture books to share with the younger readers in your family or to read yourself if you're feeling a little nostalgic. Stop in and see them for yourself! ❄️🌨️

The 7th Grade Baloo Team participated in Reindeer Games on Friday morning 🦌🎄. Students competed in individual and team activities! From all of the cheers and chants in the room, every student had a blast! Check out the smiles and teamwork. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season ❄️🎁❤️💚

The CMS 6th grade white team had a special visitor this morning for our cookie party. Everyone had the chance to chat with Santa and have their picture taken. We are happy to report that everyone is on the nice list!

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 CMS 6th Grade White Team had a great time on their field trip to Broadway Theatre League of Utica’s Elf movie screening at the Rome Capitol Theatre on Thursday, December 18!

In addition to the movie, students were treated to popcorn, an ornament, and Buddy's favorite; maple syrup!

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.

These beautiful festive floral arrangements will make their way into the hands of some staff members soon! Mrs. Evans and her floral design students at CMS created these magnificent pieces by repurposing floral donations from area funeral homes!
