The Cairo-Durham Central School District would like to send a special shoutout and congratulations to Cairo-Durham High School juniors Dezaray Riley and Anthony Panicola and senior Elexzandreah Demaris for having their individual artwork selected to be showcased at the 25th Annual High School Regional Juried Art Exhibition from March 12 to April 13, 2024 at Russell Sage College in Albany, sponsored by the Olpaka Gallery!

​"Penny Wars" are here at Cairo-Durham Middle School from March 4 to March 14! The three grade levels will compete to see which class can collect the most points through accumulating pennies. Beware, as there will be opportunities to sabotage the other classes! Collection buckets for each grade will be found outside of classrooms and point scales will be posted. See the Cairo-Durham Middle School bulletin board for more information on where to find your bucket and points totals. ​ The class that collects the most points wins a Stewart’s Ice Cream party! Best of luck!

If you have not seen the show yet, make sure you are there Sunday at 2pm for the last viewing of "Newsies".
