Camden Middle School -

Happy holidays from the Camden Central School District!

Students in Mrs. Johnson's reading class continued working on gifts to bring home for the winter break today. If you're expecting a gift from one of them, don't peek!😆

Greenhouse Management students are all hands on deck this week preparing and creating Christmas Centerpieces. The students have come a VERY long way on their floral design skills. All arrangements were gone within 30 minutes! Proud agriculture teacher moment!

On the evening of Thursday, 12/21, the Connected Community Schools team will be hosting Open Hub hours at CHS! This is a great opportunity for our families to get anything they may need for the upcoming break. Contact information for the site coordinators is included in the attached image if you have questions.

Students in Mrs. Willson's agriculture elective had the chance to sample different types of "milk" while completing a lactose activity. Students tried whole milk, goat milk, lactose free milk, and soy milk.

The CMS Student Council wrapped up their Holiday Food Drive on Friday. In total, CMS donated 780 items to the local Rotary. These items were used to help fill food baskets for local families. Congratulations to Miss Christmas's homeroom. They collected an average of 7.7 items per student! Great job!

The students in Mrs. Johnson's reading class worked on making presents to bring home to their loved ones ahead of the winter break. They painted pinecones that will be decorated as trees when they dry. They also made snowmen with marshmallows and pretzel arms. 🎄⛄

Today was "Christmas sweater" day. The Guinea pigs felt like they wanted to participate. Here is jelly in his Christmas sweater that states: "Christmas is GUINEA be great!"

Spanish students decorated for Christmas!

Fifth grade students practice in the CMS Media Center using our Promethean Board during their lunch for the upcoming Lip Sync Battle that will take place before we all head off for a well-deserved winter break. #NotYourMommasLibrary 👄🎙️🎶

Students at CMS created holiday cards for our troops. All grade levels shared in this fun activity.

The middle school agriculture students are not the only ones ready for a nap today!
