Last night was Senior Night for the Camden Girls Varsity Soccer Class of 2025! Before their match against Canastota, the Blue Devils recognized seniors Ellie Hite, Samantha Barrett, Katie Phelps, Olivia Hooker for their contributions to the program.
While the Blue Devils fell 1-0, it wasn't for any lack of a fantastic soccer match. Goalkeeper Oliviana Christmas stopped 12 of 13 for Camden, and the Blue Devils forced Canastota keeper Mackenzi Stevens to make 12 saves at her end of the field to stay ahead.
Camden will be at VVS on Thursday night.
Today, October 2nd, is National Custodian Day. Let's take a moment to recognize the hard work our dedicated facilities team does every day to ensure our students and staff have a clean and safe place to do their daily activities. Across the entire facilities team, they do nearly 70,000 combined hours of work annually to keep our buildings clean, our grass cut, and a variety of physical plant items in working order.
Happy Spirit Week Tuesday from the CHS Social Studies Team! Today is Superhero Day at CHS!
The Camden Girls' Varsity Soccer Class of 2025 gets its time to shine tonight. Senior Night will feature a 6:30 kickoff against Canastota. Arrive early so you can be there as we recognize our seniors prior to the match!
October is Attendance Awareness Month in the Camden Central School District!
We encourage all of our families to recognize that attendance matters, and take action to help their students be present, and be brilliant throughout this school year and beyond. Good habits today, lead to good results tomorrow!
With today's CHS Spirit Theme centering around famous actor Adam Sandler, it only made sense for the CHS Theater department to be part of the act!
While we're at it, don't forget to support our upcoming play and musical productions!
The CHS Fall Play will be held on November 1st and 2nd, with three performances. (7 PM on Friday, 11/1) and (2 PM and 7:30 PM on Saturday 11/2).
The CMS Musical is also coming up, and will be held on November 14th and 15th!
Happy Spirit Week from the CHS Social Studies department!
Today's theme at CHS? Adam Sandler day! You're sure to see lots of Happy Gilmore, Bobby Boucher, and Billy Madison today around the building. If you see Mr. Deeds around, please give them a high five for making an especially great costume choice today.
Tomorrow will be Superhero day at the High School. In advance, please let us know if you see Clark Kent and Superman in the same room at the same time at CHS, because that would be big news in Metropolis.
Homecoming Spirit Week is a busy one for home events across the Athletic Department! Come catch your Blue Devils in action all week long!

Four home contests for the Blue Devils today! Come and join us in the fresh air on what is a simply BEAUTIFUL Friday afternoon!
The Syracuse Museum of Science and Technology (MoST) is sponsoring a series of STEM challenges throughout this school year, and Camden CSD students from grades 4-12 have been invited to participate. Registration is free, and materials are provided by the MoST for each challenge.
The museum is hosting a bridge building challenge on Saturday, November 9th from 9 AM to Noon on its campus in downtown Syracuse. Students will compete to build bridges that are as strong as possible, while also being as lightweight as possible.
There are two divisions: A junior division for Grades 4-8, and a senior division for Grades 9-12. Teams can be from 1 to 4 students.
Students would need to register online, and then make arrangements to get their materials from the museum. Opportunities to set up a support session with the MoST staff are available by appointment, and there is a walk-in session scheduled for tomorrow, 9/28, from 9:30 to 12:30 at the MoST.
More information about the contest is available here:

This morning, Camden High School had the opportunity to host guest speaker Veda Tucker from the Rachel's Challenge organization.
Rachel's Challenge is an organization that addresses the challenges posed by bullying and school violence through programming that examines the problems at their source, and promotes connection and kindness across school communities. By taking "Rachel's Challenge", a student pledges to spread kindness, set a positive example, and make their school a better place to be. To date, the organization has presented to over 30 million people worldwide.
For some students, Tucker may be familiar. A few years ago, she came to Camden Middle School to facilitate the Rachel's Challenge "Chain Reaction" event on behalf of the organization.
Following a general school-wide assembly, Tucker has been working in a small group session this morning with members of the CHS Student Leadership group. As part of these sessions, the group became the first to sign the new CHS Rachel's Challenge Banner!

BLUE DEVIL NEW STAFF SPOTLIGHT
In the coming weeks, we’ll introduce you to members of our Blue Devil family who are new, or are changing roles between buildings for the school year.
Today, we welcome CHS Special Education teacher Crystal O’Hara! Crystal is a graduate of Appalachian State University and East Carolina University who is joining us for the first time this year.
Crystal brings a dozen years of experience to Camden, and this will be her second year in the State of New York. She taught for 11 years across two districts in North Carolina before heading to the Empire State, and has found a sense of community here in Camden.
“The community vibe that permeates the halls has been the most enjoyable experience and something that I am not accustomed to,” O’Hara said. “Coming from a military family and having moved around throughout my life, I have always wanted a place that feels like home. I am so excited to feel so welcomed and look forward to being a part of such a wonderful community.”
Within any community, the schools are an important component, and the importance of the opportunity to propel students to their potential is not lost on her.
“I am super excited about the opportunity to work with everyone to ensure success for our children in the future,” She said. “Thank you so much for sharing your most precious gifts, I promise to treat them like my own, challenge them to always do better than yesterday, encourage them to shoot for the stars, and always follow their dreams.”
When she’s not in the classroom at CHS, she enjoys grilling, painting, karaoke, and spending time with family. Welcome!
The modified boys' soccer team is back in action today against Holland Patent, one of eight contests across Camden Athletics on a busy Monday afternoon!
