One Good Thing:

Cardinals Soar at All State Choir:

What an incredible experience for our Cardinals!

All-State Choir came to a close last weekend, and we are incredibly proud of Rossi Pham and Trendon Warren for representing Camden Fairview High School with excellence. Their hard work, professionalism, and musical talent were on full display throughout the event.

We also extend a special congratulations to CFHS choir director Andrey Wright for his leadership and commitment to helping our students reach this level of achievement. Opportunities like All-State reflect the dedication happening in our classrooms every day.

Performing at the All-State level is a tremendous accomplishment, and these students rose to the occasion with confidence and poise.

Congratulations to Rossi and Trendon on fantastic performances and this well-earned honor!

Wednesday – Hallway Thank-You Wall. Students will post notes thanking someone at CFHS who makes a difference, even in small ways.
