The Iditarod runs a Musher Letter Writing Program each year, which allows students to write to participating mushers. The 6th graders in Ms. Murphy's classes wrote letters to their mushers they were assigned to for the Cairo-Durham Middle School "iKidarod" event in March, explaining what they had learned about the Iditarod and asking them questions about their experiences in this year's race.
Ms. Murphy mailed all letters out right before Spring Break. 2024 Iditarod Champion, Dallas Seavey, and rookie musher, Bryce Mumford, have responded so far! Pictured here is Jayden M., Thomas S., and Dylan M. with their letters. We are looking forward to more mushers sending their responses!
Students in the Thompson/Lopez class at Cairo-Durham Elementary School spent time during their writing period to create "thank you" cards for the National Bank of Coxsackie. The National Bank of Coxsackie supported the Cairo-Durham Central School District and the elementary school by counting over $2,300 worth of pennies for the Cairo-Durham "Penny Wars" competition. This money will go towards the amazing PBIS program at the elementary school.
Everyone at Cairo Durham Elementary School is extremely appreciative for the time the National Bank of Coxsackie dedicated to support the event!

Mrs. Burton's 8th grade science class at Cairo-Durham Middle School completed an an eclipse simulation on Tuesday, April 9, 2024!
Attaching clay models representing the moon and Earth to a meter stick, the students used natural sunlight to test angles that would result in shadows being cast on the models. The class tried different combinations that simulated both solar and lunar eclipses.
Way to go, Mustangs!
