We have found another way you can save! With the Camden Central School District's participation in the National School Lunch Program, our families with a student enrolled in the District can save over 50 percent on their monthly Amazon Prime bill with Amazon's Prime Access program.
This program cuts down the monthly bill for a subscription from 14.99/month to 6.99/month. Please note that signing up will cancel your existing subscription and replace it with a new one at the reduced rate.
Proof of eligibility is required. If you signed up for the Affordable Connectivity Program, you may already have what you need to establish eligibility. When filling out the form, attach a picture or screenshot of the Affordable Connectivity Program eligibility letter you may have received earlier this school year, and that should be sufficient to receive your discount. If you need a new letter, contact the main office and they can furnish a typed letter to you via email, or by sending it home with your child.

As many of you heard, our Athletic Director, Josh Mazzaferro was recently chosen for the Dr. Liam Frawley Emerging Athletic Administrator award by his peers in Section III.
At the start of break, the Daily Sentinel, Josh's hometown paper, ran an article about his achievement. (https://www.romesentinel.com/news/camden-athletic-director-emerging-administrator-award/article_564ae266-9f68-11ee-a538-6b8e9b3c3f15.html)

Happy New Year from all of us at the Camden Central School District!
Resolutions? How about Matholutions? Before the break, Math 8 students from Mrs. Calabro's class made their own mathematics-related New Years' Resolutions!
