Students at Camden Middle School celebrated Red Ribbon week with the theme of "Celebrate Life. Live Drug Free!" Students signed the pledge to live a drug free life during their lunch periods on Thursday 10/27.
Mrs. Johnson's fifth-grade class made three-dimensional webs for spiders to prepare for Halloween. While spooky music played, students spun webs ending up with results that were as individual as the students themselves!

Did you know that Girls' Wrestling is one of the fastest growing high school sports in New York State? Did you know it is also a rapidly expanding opportunity for participation in women's college sports, with programs recently forming at Elmira College and Utica University?
The Camden Central School District athletic department wants to bring these opportunities to interested students.
Girls in grades 7-12 who may be interested in forming a Girls' Wrestling program can learn more at an informational "Try It Out" night, which will be held on Thursday, October 20th from 6 pm to 7:30 pm in the CHS Wrestling Room and Main Gym.
Prospective wrestlers can experience a sample practice session, meet with coaches, and receive more information about how they can get on the mat as soon as this season.
Contact the Camden Athletic Office for more information!

Throughout the rest of the Fall semester, the Camden Central School District will be spotlighting several new members of our staff.
Today, we’d like to introduce you to Shae D’Arcangelis. She is a social worker at Camden Middle School.
Shae is a graduate of Nazareth College in Rochester, NY and Oneida High School.
Her favorite thing about her position is the rewarding feeling of helping students and families overcome barriers and supporting them through the hard moments that can happen in life.
She says a supportive environment has been key to getting comfortable in the early stages of her career with us.
“The support I have received has made my transition to Camden seamless,” D’Arcangelis said. “I am excited for the opportunities and staff that I will continue to meet along the way. I am very excited for the new school year along with the years to come!”
When she’s not helping our students and families overcome challenges, Shae loves to read, spend time with family and friends, and spoil her golden retriever puppy named Nash.
Welcome to our team!

Throughout the rest of the Fall Semester, the Camden Central School District will be spotlighting several new members of our staff.
Today, we’d like to tell you about Stephanie Calabro! She is a mathematics teacher at Camden Middle School.
Stephanie is a graduate of Herkimer College and Utica University.
Her favorite thing about being an educator has been meeting her students, and encouraging them to be whatever they want to be.
The thing she has enjoyed most about the Camden experience so far is working with her team members and students.
“They are amazing and have made me feel like a part of the team quickly,” Calabro said. “I do not feel like I’m going to work. The students are awesome as well.”
When she’s not in the classroom, she enjoys being with her family and traveling to warm weather destinations.
Welcome to the team!
