On Wednesday, fourth graders from both elementary schools came together to compete as part of the annual Camden Central School District fourth grade track meet! The event is always a highlight of the year, especially for this group as they prepare to become one Blue Devil family at Camden Middle School this fall!
Students strived to do their best while representing their school in six individual track events, five field events, and an exciting mixed 4x100 meter relay. Along the way, the competitors also learned how much they've grown since their third grade meet a year ago!
The CCSD Third Grade Track and Field Meet scheduled for Thursday morning has been postponed to its rain date, Friday 5/30 (Tomorrow).
The start time remains 9:15 AM on the new date.
This change does not affect today's Section III Championship Meet at CHS.
The first copies of the 2025 CHS Yearbook have found their way into the hands of our seniors! It took just seven minutes for everyone who attended today's senior release party to get their copy, and that left plenty of time for signing!
Let's do it again tomorrow for grades 9-11! Students in those grades who have ordered a yearbook can do so on Thursday, 5/29 during tenth period. Snacks and pens will be provided. Remaining books will be distributed on Monday, June 2nd.
If you have any questions, contact advisors Natalie Archibee (NArchibee@camdencsd.org) or Amy Andrews (AAndrews@camdencsd.org)




In art class with Miss Lis, 3rd graders from Miss Sochia’s class at McVille took their artwork outside to splatter paint! (And after the weeks of weather we've had, it's certainly wise to cash in on the sunshine while we can!)
Student took inspiration from artists like Jim Dine and Jackson Pollock to create these awesome projects. Great job, third graders!
