In last month's newsletter, we inadvertantly (and erroneously) reported that Payton Manning was recognized as Best Actress in the Georgia Theatre Conference R. Lynn Wooddy Festival of Plays. It was actually Payton Richardson who won the award. For those of you who would like further clarification, this is Payton Richardson performing her role... We extend a heartfelt apology to Miss Richardson. We are not inclined to do the same for Mr. Manning. He The Camden Middle School Bands will offer their annual holiday program this afternoon and evening at the CCHS Auditorium. Admission is free. The event is open to the public.
