Join us on May 10th for the annual district-wide student art show!
Another great audience has turned out for Saturday's performance of The Beverly Hillbillies! Whether you're here today, or were yesterday, we thank you for your support!
April 28, 2023 is National Historic Marker Day.
Volunteers across the U.S. can give back to their communities by participating in the third annual National Historic Marker Day on Friday, April 28. CHS students from the MVCC Dual Credit NYS History class taught by Mrs. Harney have been learning about public history and what they can do to preserve and honor historic places in our own community.
Students learned about the historic marker application process, site selection, and cleaning and maintenance. Four students from the class put their skills to the test by cleaning two Camden historic markers in town, the Camden Town Hall and Scriba Patent signs. Students observed and accessed the condition of the signs to determine what additional maintenance could be done down the road if the community chooses to do so. According to the Historical Marker Database, there are more than 177,000 markers in the US. The NYS History students will research to verify if the markers they cleaned are registered with the HBDB.org site.

Students at Camden Elementary School received a visit from local children's author Jermiko Thomas this morning! He shared one of his many inspirational stories to the students in attendance.
Jermiko is a fitting guest to have at school as we wrap up our April elementary character focus: Perseverance. He was unable to speak until the age of six, but went on to become a successful professional and published author!
We also hosted him during the District-wide reading extravaganza earlier this month, so students were excited to see that he was coming back!
Project Crenshaw is back at McConnellsville Elementary School! The fourth grade book club will be holding their annual food drive from now until May 8th! There is a drop off location in the hallway near the office, or you can send your items in with your student! Shelley Malenowski is your point of contact if you have questions.
Today's the day! It's opening night for the CHS Drama spring production of "The Beverly Hillbillies".
Tonight's performance of a story about a man named Jed, and his family, starts at 7. Admission is free!
If you miss tonight's performance, or want to see it again, they'll offer the chance to
"Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?"
There will be an encore performance on Saturday evening at 6 p.m.
We will have plenty of pictures to share from Saturday's show.
Also take note of the upcoming coffee house event listed on the flyer! Thank you for your support of the CHS Drama Club, and we'll see you this weekend!
Connected Community Schools Site Coordinator Cole Brown recently went into Mrs. Holmes' classroom during 3rd and 7th period to teach students about job interviews. Students performed mock interviews with their teachers to demonstrate what to do and what not to do during a job interview!
Students have also spent class time working on resumes and cover letters, and will be working with Cole on another round of interviews as they get ready for college, trade school, or the job market!
Camden Elementary School Families: Check out this FREE Title I reading event coming soon to CES! Kailee Petrie will be your point of contact for any questions about this event.
Congratulations to our Girls Varsity Softball team on winning their tournament last weekend at the Mudville Complex in Herkimer! If a tournament banner wasn't enough, the Blue Devils scored a total of THREE wins over state-ranked opposition over the course of Friday and Saturday to remain undefeated.
The good news continued earlier this week as the team made its season debut in the state rankings at #7 in Class B!
If the weather permits, come and support the Blue Devils JV and Varsity teams on Friday afternoon as they host a perennially strong Cicero-North Syracuse program on the new multi-purpose turf fields at CHS.
The April "Cougars with Character" assembly at Camden Elementary School featured a VERY special unveiling! Congratulations to student Jaxon Schultz-Lust on creating the winning t-shirt design for the upcoming Camden Color Blast run to benefit the CES PTO! The event will be held on Saturday, June 3rd in Forest Park.

Faculty and staff at McConnellsville Elementary School celebrated Earth Day by wearing fun t-shirts last week!
It was a busy day on the diamonds yesterday with JV Softball, Varsity Softball, and Varsity Baseball all hosting Rome Free Academy!
Students in our Design for Drawing and Production classes at CHS recently built Solar Cookers! On Friday, they attempted to roast some hot dogs during a nice 80 degree day.
Students had to prepare their device by angling it towards direct sunlight. They recorded the temperature of the meat using a laser thermometer. Every student that tested reached over 100 degrees with the highest temperatures hitting over 145 degrees fahrenheit! The classes were led by Michael Petrie, Jeremy Calkins, and Jake Bates.
This Friday and Saturday, join the CHS Drama Club as they present "The Beverly Hillbillies"!
The opening night performance will be held on Friday, 4/28 at 7 PM.
An encore "Y'all come back now, y'hear?" performance will be held on Saturday, 4/29 at 6 PM.
