On Thursday, March 13th, the Connected Community Schools team will be hosting another Open Hub event at Camden High School!

To get a show on stage, it takes a team. Pick up a program at any of our shows, and you'll see the immense amount of teamwork it takes to give our kids the chance to shine.
At our most recent CHS production, "Mamma Mia!", our co-directors took on a pretty intense workload to get the show going. Amanda Hughes, our music director, drives the pit orchestra and teaches the actors the songs to make the show shine. Our dramatics director, Kim Bird, brought the script to life and implements much of what you see on stage from our actors, with a major hand in presentation and choreography. And dozens of others work with our students on stage and behind the scenes to bring the entire vision to reality.
Hughes will be working with Stephanie Heath and a crew that features many of the same dedicated people to bring you their upcoming spring drama production "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on May 9th and 10th.
Want to know more about the teams behind our plays and musicals, or re-live your own CHS memories on the stage? We are getting started on a new program archive to put all of the information on your favorite CHS shows from years' past in one location.
You'll find the program from Mamma Mia! in there now, and we'll add more as we find them, as far back as we can go. Once we've exhausted our supplies, we'll gladly open up the floor for submissions at a later date. We will also look into doing Middle School ones down the line.

March is Music in Our Schools Month, and this will be a special one as the National Association for Music Education (https://nafme.org/) celebrates MIOSM for its 40th year!
Per NAFME, the purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children—and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music. MIOSM is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community, and to display the value that school music brings to students of all ages.
For us in Camden, that means concerts for Middle and High School students! We hope to see you at one or more of them this month to support our students!
Is your student in grades 7-12 looking to explore a new sport, or build on existing skills this spring? Our golf and boys' tennis programs are seeking new athletes!!!

CHS senior Sydney Matthews was busy during the weekend of February 28th and March 1st, to say the least!
Between three performances of the CHS Musical, "Mamma Mia!", Matthews had to change into an entirely different character on Saturday morning as she participated in the 37th Annual Regional Shakespeare Competition at Syracuse Stage! She earned this opportunity as the champion of the annual CHS Shakespeare Competition held earlier this year.
Performing amidst a field of numerous incredible student performers, Sydney did a remarkable job with her portrayal of Queen Margaret from Richard the III and her performance of Sonnet 130.
This year, she has also amassed some other impressive performing arts credits including appearances in the Area All-State Choir, and the MCMEA Winter All-County Choir.
Way to go Sydney!
