Congratulations to Cairo-Durham High School Senior Colin MacGiffert on his second consecutive year being nominated as the Section II Class B Goalkeeper of the Year for Boys Soccer, along with being named a First-Team All-Star for Section II Class B!
Mrs. Decker, a Questar Coach, conducted a multiplication number talk review alongside Miss Wagor's co-taught 5th-grade class.
Throughout the session, students utilized hand signals to articulate their problem-solving strategies and were provided with whiteboards as necessary, catering to varying performance levels. The students consistently show enthusiasm whenever Mrs. Decker leads a math lesson, appreciating her ability to keep them engaged and working together. Her presence is seen as a valuable asset to the classroom!

Miss Wagor's class took part in an engaging astronomy project that introduced the concept of space exploration. The project simulates a NASA-inspired experience where students become "student astronauts" tasked with studying the stars and planets.
The project starts with a video featuring Commander Queso, briefing the students on their mission objectives. The students received instructions formatted as a genuine NASA "mission brief," complete with stamps and coffee stains, adding an authentic touch to the experience. Students researched individual planets, exploring their characteristics, compositions, atmospheres, moons, and notable features. They will use this information to create presentations showcasing their findings.
The Cairo-Durham High School Class of 2025 is hosting "Brushes and Bites", a fundraiser where you can paint your own ‘Frosty Friends’ with instruction led by Cairo-Durham art teacher, Mrs. Little, while enjoying some delicious bites.

The Cairo-Durham Central School District is proud of the efforts of Mackenzie Sherburne, Lauren Zecca, and Rachel Maggio, for organizing a Winter Clothing Drive where people could come and take as many items as they needed at no cost.
After being tasked with creating a project that would benefit their community in their Civic and Readiness Class, the three students successfully advertised and collected over 50 bags of clothing items to give to those in need for the colder months ahead.
Those who stopped at the clothing drive expressed their gratitude by explaining no matter how many people came to the drive, they had already impacted the lives of so many. These three students are hoping that this would be the first annual clothing drive at the high school to better serve their community.
