“Every day, Cairo-Durham alumni are making a difference in a variety of ways. This platform will allow the District to highlight the efforts, drive and Mustang pride possessed by those who go above and beyond,” said Cairo-Durham Central School District Superintendent Michael Wetherbee.

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!
Congratulations to Madison D. for being named the Thompson/Lopez "Star of the Week" at Cairo-Durham Elementary School!
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.
Just prior to Thanksgiving break, Cairo-Durham Elementary School students, staff and community members kindly stayed after school to set up the Christmas tree!
Congratulations to Jaelynn P. for being named the Whitbeck/Lopez "Star of the Week" at Cairo-Durham Elementary School!

The class shared what they were grateful for, their Thanksgiving traditions, and sat together as a class family. These types of activities not only celebrate the holiday, but also contribute to building a positive and supportive classroom environment.
