CMS Student Council members enjoyed their annual year end trip to Verona Beach State Park. Students participated in fun team-building and leadership activities. They also had an opportunity to enjoy the beach.
Mrs. Willson's 6th grade class had an awesome trip to the NY Energy Zone and the Utica Zoo. Students learned how their homes and community are powered and what's involved in energy production. Students enjoyed seeing the animals at the zoo. This trip was funded by the prize money students earned in the NY Agriculture in the Classroom Mac & Cheese Challenge contest earlier this year.
At last week's CMS eighth grade dance, student Isabella Vollmer had a pretty special surprise visitor. Connor Vollmer '21 came home on leave from the United States Army, and decided to surprise his sister by attending Friday's dance.

After a fun and educational filled day Camden agriculture students are home! DiNitto Farms hosted Farm Fest and Camden students had the opportunity to educate students in the calf barn and learn about everything Agriculture related in Oneida County. Students learned everything from maple production all the way to milking a cow! Students were in awe of all the opportunities that their agriculture program and Camden can offer them. They already are asking "what is next?"
Today Commissioner Richard Ball took time to meet with Camden Agriculture students to discuss program success and discuss amazing opportunities Agriculture Education is giving students at Camden. More content from Farm Fest 2023 coming tonight!
Why is water essential in agriculture? There are many answers to that question but this week Agriculture students dove deep into the discussion on how to sustain the worlds water supply. Students took the week to build filtration systems in teams to compete for the cleanest water after the filtration process. The wrap up discussion consisted of students determining ways to sustain the water supply within agriculture and how their small filter systems could be used in agricultural settings!
Next week is the Tuthill Book Fair. Each student will receive $25 worth of books to take home to read over the summer. We have an amazing selection to choose from.
"Shake it until you make it!" Today Agriculture elective students shook their little hearts out to make delicious butter! Thanks to CCE Oneida this experience was made possible just in time for "June Is Dairy Month!"
Today student Marah Johnson presented to the agriculture elective about her pet parakeet! Students learned how to identify male and female parakeets as well as what those beautiful creatures eat. Marah was able to show her peers her passion of parakeets within the agricultural elective!

This Wednesday, Camden Middle School's 6th Graders enjoyed a Syracuse Mets game at NBT Bank Stadium on Education Day!
Adventure awaits in the agriculture room! Students in the agricultural elective took a walk outside today to identify commons plants in NYS. Students learned about hazardous plants in the wild as well as plants they never knew existed.
