Last Friday, eighth grade students paid a visit to Camden High School for a preview of the opportunities available to them starting next year! As always, the science department was ready to inform and entertain with some neat activities for the occasion!

Floral design students spent yesterday learning to press flowers! Students learned about pressing and preserving in various ways. Students will check back on their flowers next week, and if all goes well, they'll use them in making bookmarks!
On Tuesday, January 27th, the Camden High School boys’ basketball team notched a second straight win, and honored a group of six seniors in the process. Ahead of a 74-62 win over Oneida, the Blue Devils basketball and winter cheerleading programs recognized their Class of 2026 for an immense contribution of time and energy to their respective squads.
Mykenzie Gardner was the lone senior representing the winter cheerleading program, and was joined in the festivities by boys’ basketball players Landon Loomis, Adam Gonzalez, Zack Odom, Cody Piersall, and Trenton Brower.
The program also took the opportunity to honor longtime coaching staff member Mark Trusso. Trusso, a retired CCSD technology teacher, has dedicated his time working with the boys’ and girls’ basketball programs at Camden during his career, with a coaching tenure that began in 1978. As he gets ready to depart the Camden area for a new chapter, Trusso was presented with an engraved piece of the current high school’s original gym floor, which was recently replaced.
In the game itself, the Blue Devils overhauled an early deficit to take a one point lead at halftime, then methodically expanded their lead in the second half to lock down their fifth victory of the season.

Six students from the Camden High School bands recently took on the challenge of representing their school and community as part of the Greater Utica Area Honors Band. Instrumentalists Makenna Johnson, Julian Shepherd, Emma Wilson, Addyson Schulz, Max Scholz, and Lawrence Fiume participated in this all-star ensemble that meets yearly. The group convenes for three weekend rehearsals, capped off by a concert held at Westmoreland Central School on Saturday, January 24th. While these students play different instruments and are from a range of class years, they all understand the importance of continued growth and development opportunities while collaborating with their peers.
Some students even took on the task of preparing for multiple select ensembles at once. Fiume played this show a week after playing in the All-County orchestra, and Schulz has been preparing for the upcoming Junior Area All-State Festival that will be held in Camden on January 30th and 31st.

In February, the "Let's Play" two-year-old program will once again have two sessions, to be held on Wednesday, February 4th, and Thursday, February 5th. Each session will begin at 10 AM.
Offered in partnership with Family School Navigation (Formerly Ready 4 Kindergarten), the “Let’s Play” program is a free monthly program for two-year-olds and their families. It consists of a monthly one-hour block of play-based learning and socialization with parent/guardian involvement. It is offered with the aim of progressing into the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program for the following year, and creating a two year skill development on-ramp into Pre-K programming.
To be eligible for this program, a student must reside in the Camden Central School District, and must have reached the age of two on or before December 1st, 2025.
RSVPs are required each month. Spots are limited, and will be on a first-contact, first-serve basis. Early RSVPs are also more likely to get their preferred day to attend.

Who says you can't go home again? High School agriculture student and FFA member Mary Hall returned to her ag education roots by volunteering in the CMS agriculture room during regents week! The 10th grader worked with CMS students to educate them about guinea pigs, including showing off some of her very own guinea pigs! Throughout her time with the younger students, she showcased terrific leadership skills and public speaking skills!
