Join the Camden Clay Target Team as it gets ready to take aim at its second season! The team provides the opportunity to learn the ropes and compete in shooting sports in a safe, carefully supervised environment, with opportunities to advance to state and national championships!
This opportunity is open to students in grades 9-12, including spring athletes! The team competes in regular season contests remotely, and holds practices at its home base, the Camden Rod and Gun Club.
Please note that although this opportunity is available to students playing a spring sport, spring sports practices and games take precedence over the clay target club. If any conflicts arise, athletes should communicate with their coaches.
On occasion, the CMS library's featured collections look to address current events, and this week is one of those weeks. If students are interested in learning more about wildfires and how humans and wildlife are impacted, there are a variety of non-fiction and fiction offerings currently on display.

These Math-olutions ranged from something as simple as "do better", to completing homework on time, asking more questions, keeping a grade of 94 or higher, passing the Regents and more.

As you may have heard, Door A at Camden Middle School is back in service as the building's main entrance! The new entrance features a secure entryway that offers a single access point for the general public during the school day to help facilitate visitor sign-in, and student sign-in and sign-out. It provides an important measure of security against unauthorized visitors.
It is similar to the entryways you see in our other buildings, and includes a built-in space for the attendance office, a waiting area, and more. Behind the secured door, additional office space was added, along with a utility space to be used by faculty and staff.
