At last night's spring concert, CHS band seniors gave Mr. Donaleski a one-of-a-kind t-shirt as a parting gift! On the front were pictures of each graduating senior, and on the back were some memorable quotes!
FFA member and agriculture student Mary Hall recently brought in her baby cavy to school to help educate students on guinea pigs. As part of her presentation, she educated students about her FFA Supervised Agricultural Experience in cavy production!
Cavy, or Caviidae, is a family of rodents that includes guinea pigs, wild cavies, and of course, the popular capybara!
A Supervised Agricultural Experience is an FFA program that offers experiential learning opportunities in a variety of disciplines. You can learn more about SAEs here: https://www.nysffa.org/supervised-agricultural-experience-1

Bravo to the cast of "Rotten Apples" on a wonderful show tonight at Camden Middle School! This group took a great script and knocked it out of the park under the direction of Chelsea Light and Micayla MacDougall!
More show photos coming next week!
It's spring, and our "Look at Me, I'm Three!" participants are growing so fast! So it was only fitting that we had a flower-themed May meeting on Wednesday!
The group practiced some relaxing mindfulness, then read the silly story "Grow Flower Grow!" by Lisa Bruce. In the story, Fran tries to feed her flower spaghetti and pizza to make it grow!
Then, it was craft time! Attendees made a paper craft, and also planted flowers for themselves (sans spaghetti). As they keep growing, those flowers will grow with them!
Mark your calendars! June 4th will be our last "Look At Me, I'm Three!" for the school year before our friends head off to Pre-K in September!
Whatever you do..... don't say the title three times!
On Thursday, CHS Orchestra students took a field trip yesterday to see Beetlejuice: The Musical in Syracuse. This was their second trip this year to see a musical event as made possible through fundraising and Arts in Education!
While we're on the topic..... come and see the CHS Orchestra on Tuesday in their Spring Concert!
This week at Camden Elementary, 2nd-4th graders went on a virtual field trip right from the library! Using Google Expedition VR Headsets, students immersed themselves into interesting locations. From learning about different habitats to seeing world renowned landmarks such as the Colosseum, students had a great time. They even got to see what it would be like to walk on the moon! The headsets are provided by the Madison-Oneida BOCES School Library System.
