Congratulations to CHS sophomore Evan Buckingham on being selected as one of Notre Dame's "Jugglers of the Week" for the week spanning December 16th to 22nd!

3rd graders in Miss Lis’s Art IFA class at CES recently displayed their key stories and artwork. To develop an appreciation of each others' work, they took a little gallery walk around the classroom! We can't wait to see what you create in 2025!

JV and Varsity Girls' Basketball celebrated the season with their annual Christmas Eve breakfast! Of course, the occasion wasn't complete without a few Blue Devil hoops alumni stopping by to join the group!

When author John Schu was at Camden Middle School, he signed all of the book covers that were displayed on our bulletin board by the Media Center. CMS Readers: Keep tracking your reading minutes over winter break in Beanstack and you may be randomly chosen to receive one of the signatures. See you in 2025, Readers!

On Friday, we were pleased to welcome magician Cris Johnson for a morning assembly with our Elementary School students and staff!

Before break, the Camden High School FFA held its Christmas party. About 20 students attended! The Camden High School FFA is growing its membership each week!

DDP Students at CHS completed a Nutcracker Project just in time for Holiday Break! These functional nut crackers look a lot different than the traditional toy soldiers but sure get the job done. Students designed and constructed their blocks, learned to cut threads using a tap and dye set and applied a food-safe finish!

On Tuesday, December 17th, Mrs. Dacey’s MVCC Business/Personal Law class had a special guest to share his unique perspective on how the law impacts his day-to-day duties in the Camden Central School District. That guest? None other than CHS Assistant Principal Dr. William Snyder. Dr. Snyder shared a lot of details with the class about how the law constantly overlaps with school administration. Among the topics he discussed included school codes of conduct, progressive discipline, and the compulsory age to attend school. He also discussed how the law governs suspension, expulsion, and student searches. Within the framework of the law, he stressed the importance of giving students every opportunity to make a situation right through teachable moments and second chances, in hopes of empowering them to become productive students and citizens. He also discussed the scope of jurisdiction for our district School Patrol Officers, and their role in protecting the safety and security of the school community.
