See these cutouts? They're a sign that the Summer Reading Book fair isn't just for elementary students.... Middle School students are also getting in on the fun next week! Thanks to a generous grant from the Virginia Tuthill Foundation, Camden Middle School will host its free summer reading book fair in the upcoming week!
As part of the fair, each student receives a free 25 dollar credit to spend on heavily discounted books, and will have the opportunity to visit during school hours with their ELA Classes! No other purchases beyond the 25 dollar credit will be allowed, so there is no need to send money in with your student.
On Wednesday, 5/29, 4th grade students from Camden Elementary and McConnellsville Elementary gathered at Camden High School to compete in the annual District-Wide fourth grade track meet. The athletes competed in running events as long as 400 meters, along with the 4x100 relay and field events such as the long jump, softball throw, football throw, and soccer ball kick for distance. Great job students!!!

Section III. Class A. Champions. The Blue Devils took care of business yesterday!
A large group of Camden Middle School students participated in NYSSMA Solo Festivals recently. Festivals were held at Central Valley Academy on May 10th and 11th, and Mexico Academy on May 17th and 18th.
The festivals put students' musical skills to the test in a comprehensive manner. These students prepared a solo piece, and did scales and a sight reading exercise in front of highly qualified NYSSMA judges and adjudicators. Following their performance, they receive ratings and feedback from those individuals that they can use to become a stronger musician. This is a long process and an outstanding achievement for our young musicians!
Also, while we're here, let the record show that it makes us very proud to see students rocking the "Schools to Watch" commemorative t-shirts they received at the Middle School's recent initial certification assembly. Don't they look GREAT?!?
6th grade English Language Arts students in Mrs. Gilsenan's classes embarked on an exciting and educational project that combined their love for food with their growing knowledge of grammar. The result? A creative and delicious venture called "Grammar Grub" — a food truck restaurant where every item on their custom made menus not only tantalizes the taste buds but also showcases various parts of speech!
The CMS Marching Blue Devils went on an impressive weekend performance tour for Memorial Day! The band played at parades and ceremonies in Oneida, North Bay, and Taberg throughout the weekend.
If you saw them perform, we're glad you did! If you're looking for your chance, there are some big parades coming up!
On Saturday, June 1st, the band will follow the Yelllow Brick Road to play the Chittenango "Oz Parade" at 2 PM.
On Saturday, June 8th, they will play halftime at the Syracuse FC UPSL Game happening here at the CHS Stadium. Opening kickoff is set for 7 PM.
And on Sunday, June 9th, the band will play for a group of fourteen honorees, numerous other boxing greats, and legions of locals and supporters from all over the world at the Boxing Hall of Fame Parade in Canastota. That parade begins at noon.
Alexa, play "Roundball Rock" by John Tesh.....
Our Unified Basketball team looked terrific in their Senior Day game last week! They'll be in action tonight at New Hartford, and again for their end-of-season event on Thursday at VVS!
Let's go Blue!

Elementary students in the Camden Central School District are once again stocking up for their summer reading endeavors through the generosity of the Tuthill Foundation Grant. For a sixth year, the District is pleased to host a Free Summer Reading Book Fair at Camden Elementary School and McConnellsville Elementary School.
This year, the Fair is running from May 28th to June 4th at McConnellsville Elementary School, and from May 30th to June 6th at Camden Elementary School.
As part of the fair, each student receives a free 25 dollar credit to spend on heavily discounted books. Students will visit the fair during their normally scheduled library times. No other purchases beyond the 25 dollar credit will be allowed, so there is no need to send money in with your child.
The Tuthill Foundation operates to carry on the legacy of longtime Camden residents Virginia and Stedman Tuthill, who believed in supporting educators and students. Through their generosity, our students can continue to have access to books throughout the summer months regardless of their available resources, and build reading comprehension skills by reading in subject areas that interest them.
The District is thankful for the Tuthill family for continuing to provide this generous support to its students, and eternally grateful to Virginia and Stedman Tuthill for keeping our schools in mind as part of their legacy.
A quick note from CMS Principal Brittany DerCola regarding construction's effects on ingress/egress at the Middle School.
