At the December 9 regular board meeting:

• Our MST Magnet senior class presented their summer internship work and projects to the Camas School District school board and the community at the Zellerbach Administration Center. After the poster fair, staff, students, and community convened for the regular school board meeting to hear formal presentations of internships by seniors Rhianna Fitzgerald and Odessa Thompson. Read all about it!
• The 2020/2021 calendar was approved. Spoiler alert: We're starting school before Labor Day!
• Board members were elected to new positions set to begin in January. Our new Board President will be Connie Hennessey and Vice President will be Tracy Malone. Outgoing President Doug Quinn was acknowledged for his exemplary service and leadership to our district. Thanks, Doug!

CHS Barbershop Quartet

These four CHS choir students formed their own barbershop quartet and have gained so much attention, they were invited to be the headline performers at the Washington State School Directors' Association's Annual Conference. They were awarded a Mill Town Pride Award for their efforts at the conference, and the students thanked the board with a brief performance... take a listen!

Kolby Broadbent

Last week, we heard a great story about a CHS football player in a newspaper far, far away. It fills us with #milltownpride to see the character of our students having an impact outside our own community. Nice work, Kolby!

In a rousing 35-14 victory, the Camas High School Football team won the program's second title last weekend in Tacoma. Their season was undefeated. Read all about it.

Hayes Freedom High School took part in another year of holiday giving by participating in the Clark County Walk & Knock event. The annual tradition brought together students, parents, and community members who filled up on cocoa and donuts before braving the elements on Sat., Dec. 7, to collect food for those in need.

Thank you to all who donated to our annual Camas-Washougal community food drive! While a component of this project is a friendly rivalry between Camas High School and Washougal High School – who each loaded up their bounty into a school bus and weighed them on December 7 (WHS came out victorious) – the true reward is in helping others: Donations of nonperishable food, personal care items, and money will support local families in need during the holidays and beyond. The program is presented by CW Connect Community Outreach, and proceeds benefit the CAROL Program, organized by the Camas-Washougal Fire Department; Children’s Home Society of Washington; and The American Legion, supplying food baskets to residents of Skamania County.
