Camden Central School District -

The CHS Drama Club is set to present its spring production, “Almost, Maine” on Friday, May 10th at 7 PM, and Saturday, May 11th at 6 PM. Admission is free. This 2004 play has been adapted for the high school stage. Set in a fictional locale of the same name, “Almost, Maine” is a critically acclaimed romantic comedy made up of loosely connected short plays about love and loss. Almost is not organized enough for a town, and too populated for a wilderness, but all come to experience the life-altering power of the human heart.

At CES, Mrs. Poulin's and Mrs. Ouderkirk's class recently celebrated the wedding of the letters Q and U! Students learned that qu makes the sound /kw/ and that the letters q and u are always working together to make words like "quiz", "queen", "quilt" and more. What a fun way to celebrate learning about phonics! No word on whether or not the reception had any of those yummy bacon wrapped scallops. If anyone sees the server who has those, please send them my way...
