The Cairo-Durham Central School District would like to thank Anthony Krolikowski of NEWS10 ABC for interviewing our CDHS students and CDMS teacher representing the Interact Club who recently went on a service trip to Costa Rica!

Students in Ms. Meyers' social studies classes had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Maryann Alli. She spoke to students about the naturalization process and what it takes to become a citizen of the United States.
Maryann was born in Ghana and came to America with her family when she was 13, first to New Jersey and then to upstate NY. Maryann then went through the process in her 20's to become a naturalized citizen. She spoke to students about her naturalization process, how she is not a dual citizen, about the interview process, the citizenship test and the swearing in ceremony.
Students had a glimpse of the types of questions asked for the interview process and if they indeed knew the answers themselves. Students were very intrigued in the process, similarities and differences between America and Ghana.
Thank you, Ms. Alli for sharing your story with us!
