Camp Ernst Middle School Youth Service Center
Camp Ernst Middle School has a variety of teachers and staff members that make it their goal to see that families feel welcome, ensure their children are receiving the best education possible in a safe and friendly environment, and help the students learn to the best of their abilities. The Youth Service Center is an excellent contributor to these goals. Youth Services Centers serve students and families in middle and high school, and the primary goal of the Youth Service Center at Camp Ernst Middle School is to remove nonacademic barriers to learning as a means to enhance student academic success. The center’s mission statement is to:
“Enhance students’ ability to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: Early learning and successful transition to school, academic achievement and well-being, and graduation and transition into adult life.” Mrs. Angela Werwick is the Youth Service Center’s coordinator here at Camp Ernst. Her job is to help academically at-risk students succeed in school by helping to minimize or eliminate non-cognitive barriers to learning. Youth Service centers are strengthened by community partnerships in their ability to provide vital programs, services, and referrals to students and their families. These partnerships are critical in order to ensure the student is receiving the best academic experience possible. Stop by the Youth Service Center for brochures and more information on resources or referrals! Here are some holiday tips to help keep stress at a minimum and to keep the season cheerful:

Tasters 2017
What Is Tasters?
Tasters is an incredible evening where adults come together to enjoy food, drinks, laughs, music, silent auction and prizes! This year, our theme is “Exploring Our Town”. Bring your friends, neighbors, anyone from the community to enjoy our tasty celebration with local cuisine from 4 US Cities! Students are welcome to volunteer at the event. Watch for this opportunity in the CEMS Enews in the next few weeks. We will need students to help set up, clean up and bus tables.
How Does Tasters Work?
Taster’s guests begin with soft drinks, mocktails and mingling in the cafeteria, where they have opportunities to bid on wonderful silent auction items. From there, guests will move to the beautifully transformed gym, where they will be served delectable meals with 4 different city themes: Cincinnati, San Francisco, Chicago and New Orleans!
Who Benefits From Tasters?
The students! Tasters is sponsored by the PTSO, and all proceeds go back to CEMS to fund important initiatives like teacher requests, items needed for service learning projects & incentives for the students.
How Do I Purchase Tickets?
To purchase tickets, see the order form on the CEMS Website, check your child’s backpack or watch for in the weekly Enews.
You can also help by donating items for your student’s homeroom silent auction basket. The PTSO is also looking for individuals or companies that are willing to donate other items separate from the silent auction baskets.
