On Monday, March 4th, Camden Music Teacher Joseph Perrotta represented the Camden Central School District and New York State School Music Association at the 51st Annual Joseph R. Sugar NYSSMA Advocacy Day at Albany's Empire State Plaza.
The event occurs during March, which is known as "Music in Our Schools Month" across New York State. During this time, NYSSMA arranges a day in Albany for music educators to meet with State Legislators. Each zone works collaboratively with NYSSMA to schedule times with their assembly members and senators in Albany to discuss current issues and how they may affect music programs for students. This is also an opportunity to express gratitude for continued support of music education.

Due to the snow day, the previously scheduled FFA Week staff appreciation pancake breakfast was held on Friday at CMS. FFA advisor Karly Marshman put on her chef's hat and made pancakes for all staff and students that entered the Agriculture room today. Chocolate chip, blueberry, and plain pancakes were topped with whipped cream and New York maple syrup. This event was held as a way for the FFA program to show its appreciation for all that the CMS staff does to support the Agriculture program and to share what FFA is all about.

Congratulations to Camden eighth grader Talon Kimball on placing seventh at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Championships in Albany! After falling in his championship bracket match, the eighth grader fought his way to the placement matches through the consolation bracket with two wins: One by pinfall, and another by decision. He won the 7th place match with a Major Decision victory.
Did we mention he's only in eighth grade?!?
Congratulations, and here's to a very bright future!
Camden Middle School sixth grader Claire Barber recently had the chance to play the game she loves on an internationally-recognized stage. Barber, a member of the Utica Junior Comets 12u Girls Ice Hockey team, participated with her teammates in the International Ice Hockey Federation’s 2024 Global Girls Game held from February 16th to February 18th.
The Global Girls Game is a worldwide event that consists of a series of almost 40 hockey games for women and girls around the world. Start times were staggered so that effectively, there is a game being played as part of the event at any time throughout the three day period. During each game, a team is designated as either “Team Blue” or “Team White”, and an aggregate score across all games is kept.
In honor of Utica hosting the IIHF Women’s World Championship this April, the Jr. Comets organization had the chance to hold a home game as USA Hockey’s official representative in the global series. The Jr. Comets defeated the Binghamton Blizzard, and then formally handed off the festivities to two teams across the world in Kazakhstan.
Claire also recently met Olympic Gold Medalist and multiple-time World Champion Megan Keller of Team USA as part of the build-up to the tournament!
