Camden Elementary held its annual "Fun Day" on Friday to celebrate the end of a great school year. Students had a wonderful time with a bouncy house, activity stations, lawn games with Connected Community Schools, a hot dog lunch served up by Mr. Ferretti, Snow Cones, and more!
It looks great out here! All we're missing now, is all of you!
A very special thank you to our maintenance team led by Randy Bajohr for getting this in order.
6 PM start tonight for Commencement 2025 here at the CHS Stadium.

This amazing group of 4th graders came in early to school to create a special mural with Miss Lis this past week. They did a great job working together to create a beautiful and creative work of art for the school. Great job!
Some of the best teachers make an impact on generations of students, and this photograph, taken this morning, says it all.
Our own Sarah Fannin passed this along. She had Mrs. Sue Holmes as a teacher growing up, and now her daughter, Delilah, has had the same opportunity. Sue is retiring at the end of the school year after 33 incredible years with us, so there was no time like the present to get this picture.
Over the past few months, Mrs. Libertella's College Chem class has been taking links off their graduation countdown chain, and yesterday, they celebrated finishing off the chain as part of their last day of class!
Plenty of happy faces to go around on Monday for the last day of class in Mrs. Hastwell's MVCC History 102 class! This was the first year of CHS offering MVCC History 102 in its dual-credit offerings and it was a success!
This afternoon, SPO Tom Brognano went outside on his usual end-of-day duty facilitating dismissal at Camden Middle School. When he came back inside, he was met with a surprise.
A crowd of well-wishers including staff, colleagues, students, and administrators had assembled to pay tribute for his years of service to CMS. The gathering included treats, and the presentation of a card and a hand-made caricature portrait from art teacher Jodi Steria, which was signed by members of the CMS community.
Also on hand was his daughter, Lyndsey, who is a deputy with the Sheriff's Office.
Officer Brognano, we wish you all the best in your retirement, and as we all saw today, it's clear how much you will be missed!

Last week, the fifth grade white team visited Green Lakes State Park, just outside of Syracuse! While there, they learned more about the solar system, and used their artistic skills to depict the four spheres of earth: geosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), and biosphere (living things). They also created constellation key chains and answered a variety of trivia questions.
Thank you to the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation for being wonderful hosts!
Last week marked the last visit of the year for the Lewis Manor Labradoodles at Camden Middle School! Students have really enjoyed their time with the puppies this year. We cannot thank them enough for bringing them to see our students, and we hope to see them again next year! 🐶🐾
It's the last day of regular classes at Camden High School, and you may know what that also means - Bring Your Tractor to School Day!
On Friday afternoon, the Camden Elementary School community gathered for an assembly to celebrate Craig Ferretti's 19 years with our District, including his current role as CES Principal.
As he gets set to step into retirement, Craig was celebrated with a video, some special gifts, and some heartfelt words from assistant principal Amanda Mitchell, who is also the incoming principal.
"Thank you for your incredible service, your profound impact, and for being such an extraordinary leader and mentor," Mitchell said. "We wish you a retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and all the happiness you deserve. You will be deeply missed, but your spirit will undoubtedly remain with us."
June 13th - From The CES Main Office Via ParentSquare:
Good afternoon,
There is currently a non-student emergency at Camden Elementary School.
This will impact dismissal and pick-up times. Thank you for your patience.
The Camden FFA was ready to welcome their lone senior back to the middle school during the Senior Walk!
