Camden Bus 29 is running about 30 minutes late this morning.
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.
