During the month of February, use the Beanstack app to keep track of your reading. At the end of the month, stop down to the Media Center to show Mrs. Britton or Mrs. Bloomquist your reading streak and they'll have a treat for you. Not using the app yet? See your ELA teacher or your friendly Camden Middle School librarians and they'll show you how!

Camden FFA is beyond proud of the members that competed in todays Leadership Development Events. Each student has spent weeks preparing for this event and did an outstanding job. Many valuable lessons are learned through FFA but the best part of the day is being with their "FFA- Family."


FFA gives students the opportunity to grow in various ways. Please see the photo that exemplifies how outstanding our FFA members are. Camden FFA members spent time today working with each other to instill confidence in each other before their competitions.

Happy Shelfie Day! The NY Public Library founded the event in 2014 to encourage people to share selfies at their libraries. The point is not just to share photos, but to remind people they have access to libraries and foster a love of reading. Share a shelfie today! What are you currently reading? Mrs. Britton is reading Miles Morales: Suspended. 💕📚

Good evening Blue Devils,
As we prepare for the cold front moving into our region, students may wait inside their homes if they choose for bus pick for Tuesday and Wednesday this week just as they do when it’s raining or snowing outside. The buses will wait a little longer than usual but PLEASE watch for them so our school arrival time is not too far off from our normal schedule. Please note, this will affect pick up time for the next couple of days. We will continue to monitor the weather and provide any updates if needed.
Thank you advance for your understanding and cooperation.
