On June 3, 2024, the students in Mrs. Whitbeck’s and Mrs. Lopez’s class at Cairo-Durham Elementary School visited The Pines in Catskill! These amazing students have spent weeks preparing for their visit. The class created approximately 70 handmade cards for the residents, hand-delivered each card and read each card aloud as they visited with their new friends from The Pines! The students also participated in a Talent/Show-and-Tell presentation that they rehearsed for several days. Students showed photographs of pets, performed gymnastics, read books, presented their frog projects, showed off ball-handling skills, described hockey equipment, taught words in other languages and more! The students and teachers also presented “Mickie” with a special poster to celebrate her 100th birthday! A special thank you to Alison Meehan, Helena Spooner, and Ashley Licis for chaperoning the event and to Laurie Harp from The Pines for collaborating with Mrs. Lopez and Mrs. Whitbeck in order to coordinate the trip. Everyone had an incredible time and the students at Cairo-Durham Elementary School look forward to visiting again next year!
