The Cairo-Durham Central School District would like to congratulate Cairo-Durham High School sophomores Jessica Baeckmann, Lauren Zecca and Cairo-Durham Elementary School Special Education teacher Sarah Hasbrook on being named recipients of the Capital District YMCA (Greene County) Outstanding Student and Educator Award!
The award and event on April 26 at the Pegasus Restaurant in Coxsackie recognized the "best of the best" in our local high schools; spotlighting those students and educators that demonstrate leadership and volunteerism in their respective school, community and/or YMCA.
Award winners received a one-year youth/adult membership to the YMCA, an award plaque and a certificate. Student and educator criteria include demonstrating leadership and dedication in service to their schools, communities and/or the YMCA. The teacher/student must have a character that embraces the values of the YMCA: Caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
In attendance to support the recipients were Superintendent Michael Wetherbee, CDES Principal Christopher Stein, Director of Pupil Services Doug Morrissey, Guidance Counselors Justin Karker and Emily Gannon and Board of Education President Elizabeth Daly.
