Cairo Durham alumni and current owner of "The Juice Branch" in Cairo, Anthony D’Errico, recently stopped by Cairo-Durham Elementary School to showing Mrs. Sniffen's class how to make healthy juices from his store for “J Day”!

On June 10, 2024, Mrs. Lopez's and Mrs. Whitbeck’s class at Cairo-Durham Elementary School celebrated "Donut Day"! Students learned strategies for marketing and pitching new food ideas. They then worked with partners to develop a new donut flavor for Dunkin' Donuts. Each group was tasked with creating a unique donut, describing it in detail, naming it, drawing it, and pitching why their donut was so special and would be a top seller. After presenting their creations to the class, students walked to Dunkin' Donuts in Cairo and pitched their ideas to the management team. The management team then provided donuts for the students to enjoy. All of the students' unique creations/posters are on display at Dunkin' Donuts on Main Street in Cairo! Some extraordinary ideas, go see for yourself! A very special thank you to the Dunkin' Donuts Management Team, Liz D., John H., and Danny P. for their collaboration on this educational and fun project, and for providing the students with so many delicious donuts! Thank you to Cairo-Durham Elementary School Principal Christopher Stein for approving this trip and to all of our amazing chaperones!

Ms. Edwards' Algebra 1A and Mrs. Jones' College Math Prep classes at Cairo-Durham High School recently teamed up for a review session for the Algebra 1A class's final exam! Mrs. Jones' students have the foundation of the Algebra 1A class and then expand on that material throughout the year to strengthen their skills and prepare them for an entry-level college math class. The students worked together in groups, as the College Math Prep students helped the Algebra 1A students complete review worksheets and retaught them any content they struggled with. The Algebra 1A class was very responsive and appreciative of the College Math Prep class's help. Way to go, Mustangs, and best of luck on your exams!
