Grandparents Make Holladay School Shine!
Holladay School was buzzing with excitement on Tuesday, September 15, as students welcomed some very special guests for a “GRANDparent Celebration”!
The hallways and cafeteria were filled with colorful decorations and special creations made by students to celebrate Grandparents’ Day. The festive atmosphere made it clear that grandparents were in for a special day at Holladay School!
Following lunch, grandparents joined their grandchildren for a reception in the school cafeteria. Grade-level groups attended at different times, giving students the opportunity to proudly host their grandparents and enjoy some special time together.
The serving tables were filled with delicious treats, including donuts, cookies, pretzels, and brownies. Holladay BETA students helped make the celebration extra special by serving grandparents and their grandchildren.
With tables filled with smiles, sweet treats, and plenty of conversation, the reception provided a wonderful opportunity for grandparents and grandchildren to enjoy some food, fellowship, and quality time together.
But the celebration didn’t end there! After the reception, grandparents were invited to visit their grandchildren’s classrooms for a tour and a chance to see where their students spend their school days.
After school, grandparents were invited back at 4 pm for "Reading and Donuts" with the Grands. Students could spend time reading to their grandparents, taking AR tests, and earning AR points. Snacks were enjoyed by all as well!
At Holladay School, family and school go hand in hand, and this special celebration was a wonderful reminder of the important role grandparents play in the lives of their grandchildren. It was a GRAND day at Holladay School!

❤️📚 Grandparents, Great Books & Growing Voices at Camden Elementary!
There’s something pretty special about seeing grandparents walk through the doors of Camden Elementary! ❤️
During the week of September 8, CES celebrated our grandparents by inviting them into the school to meet their grandchildren’s teachers, enjoy classroom activities, pose for a few family pictures, and, most importantly, make memories together. Judging by these smiles, we’d say the assignment was completed with flying colors! 😊
And the family connection doesn’t stop there.
📚 Camden Elementary is putting an extra spotlight on reading literacy this year! Beginning this month and continuing during the third week of each month, CES teachers will share special read-aloud stories that students and families can enjoy together at home.
Be sure to visit the Camden Elementary Facebook page and the Benton County Schools website to catch our teachers reading some of their favorite books. Students can listen, enjoy the story, and then put those reading skills to work by taking an AR test on the book!
🎥 And don’t miss the monthly Cub Press Video! Our young reporters will help share what’s happening around CES and give everyone a glimpse of what students have been learning and doing. These Cubs may be young, but they’re already discovering that their voices can inform, inspire, and make a difference.
From grandparents making memories in our classrooms to teachers sharing stories and students stepping in front of the camera, Camden Elementary is bringing generations together through family, literacy, and learning. 🦁📖❤️
Great memories. Great stories. Growing voices. That’s CES!

🦁🏆 Apparently, August didn’t stand a chance against these Lions!
Camden Jr. High celebrated some seriously impressive attendance during a special assembly, recognizing 126 students AND 37 faculty/staff members for achieving PERFECT ATTENDANCE for the entire month of August! 🎉
That means no sleeping through the alarm. No mysteriously disappearing on a Monday. No deciding the bed was just too comfortable. 😂
163 Lions showed up. Every. Single. Day.
And that deserves to be celebrated!
Congratulations to our students, faculty, and staff for setting the standard and proving that success starts with simply showing up. 💛🖤
Attend Today. Achieve Tomorrow.
Way to go, Lions! 🦁👏

❤️ 1 COMMUNITY. 1 HEART. ❤️
Saturday, our Holladay BETA Club showed exactly what those words mean.
These students rolled up their sleeves and spent the day helping clean up a community member’s yard as part of 1 Community 1 Heart. They worked hard, worked together, and put service into action. And they weren’t alone. Our parents jumped right in and worked alongside them!
BETA is about more than achievement. It’s about leadership, character, service, and making your community better because you are part of it.
Saturday, our Tornadoes did just that. 🌪️❤️
We are incredibly proud of these students, thankful for the parents who pitched in, and grateful for a community where people still show up for one another.
One project. One team. One community. One heart. ❤️

Tornadoes Take the Court—and the Crowd—by Storm!
The Holladay School Drama Club/Choir (under the direction of Angel Green and Judy Evans) got the night started by singing the 'Alma Mater' and 'America the Beautiful'.
There was no shortage of Tornado pride at T. Hudson Memorial Gym in Holladay, TN, on Thursday, September 10, 2026, as Holladay fans filled the stands for the annual “Meet the Tornadoes” Hoopsters basketball game! The evening brought together players, cheerleaders, families, alumni, and fans for a fun-filled night celebrating the start of another exciting basketball season.
Fans had the opportunity to meet the 2026-27 girls’ and boys’ basketball teams, coached by Hunter Baker, along with this year’s Holladay Tornadoes cheerleaders.
The Lady Tornadoes were first to take the court, facing off against alumni and parents in four quarters of basketball fun. From tip-off until the final buzzer, the gym was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of Tornado spirit. The Lady Tornadoes battled their way to a victory, giving their fans plenty to cheer about!
At halftime, the Tornadoes cheerleaders, coached by Macy Furr, took the floor and entertained the crowd with an energetic performance.
Then it was time for the Tornadoes boys to take on the alumni. The boys’ game brought a little extra intensity as the competition heated up. Dads especially enjoyed the chance to lace up their shoes and go head-to-head with their sons! When the final whistle sounded, the Tornadoes claimed the victory to cap off a great night of basketball.
A silent auction was also held throughout the evening, with proceeds benefiting the basketball teams, cheerleaders, and FCA.
“Meet the Tornadoes” was more than just a basketball game—it was a celebration of the people who make Holladay athletics special. The gym was filled with smiles, laughter, competition, and the unmistakable sound of Tornado pride!
A huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone who came out to support the Holladay Tornadoes, participated in the games, cheered from the stands, and contributed to the silent auction. Holladay is proud of its Tornadoes, and there is plenty of excitement ahead for the 2026-27 season!
The morning and afternoon routes of Camdrn Bus #15 will run 1.5 hrs late today (September 14, 2026).

Camden Bus 29 is running about 30 minutes late this morning.
The soft lockdown is over. Our thanks to law enforcement for handling the situation.
All Camden schools were placed in a soft lockdown as a precautionary measure due to an ongoing law enforcement situation off campus. This action was taken at the recommendation of local law enforcement and is not the result of any threat originating at any of our schools.
❤️🤍💙 HONORING OUR HEROES ❤️🤍💙
Some moments are bigger than football.
As the Camden Lions take on the Waverly Tigers, we invite our community to join us for a special evening of remembrance, gratitude, and honor as we recognize the first responders of Benton County, Humphreys County, and all communities represented in attendance.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. We remember the lives lost that day, the heroes who ran toward danger when others were running away, and the countless first responders who continue that legacy of service every single day.
🚓 Law enforcement officers and sheriff’s departments
🚒 Firefighters
🚑 EMS personnel
⛑️ Rescue Squad members
🎧 911 dispatchers
Different uniforms. Different responsibilities. One shared commitment to answering the call when someone needs help.
At approximately 6:35 PM, before the game, first responders in attendance will be invited onto the field at Tommy Richardson Stadium to be recognized by our community.
To every first responder who has missed a meal, lost sleep, left family behind at a moment’s notice, stepped into uncertainty, comforted someone on their worst day, or simply answered when the call came:
Thank you.
Thank you for your courage.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you for your service.
And thank you for protecting and caring for our communities.
We see you. We appreciate you. We honor you. ❤️🤍💙
🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. We Thank You. We Stand Together.

📸 PICTURE DAY IS TOMORROW, CJH! 📸
Apparently, Mr. Christopher and Mrs. Terry took “school pictures are no joke” a little too seriously. 😂
Tomorrow, September 3, it’s YOUR turn in front of the camera!
A few highly scientific Picture Day recommendations:
✨ Wear something you like.
😁 Bring your best smile.
💇 Check your hair before you leave the house.
📸 Remember, this photo may follow you around for the rest of the school year. Choose wisely.
🖊️ And maybe skip drawing on your face with markers tonight. Our administrators have already completed that experiment.
Come ready to LOOK YOUR BEST. SMILE BIG. BE LEGENDARY. 🦁🖤💛
And remember: if your first thought when the photographer says “Smile!” is to make the strangest face humanly possible...
Your parents are probably buying copies. 😏📸
