The Thompson/Russell, Halwick/Beare and Whitbeck/Lopez classes at Cairo-Durham Elementary School received a special visit and presentation from Joseph Lopez, the son of Mrs. Lopez, who currently lives in France!
Mrs. Lopez felt it was fitting for the students who are actively learning about countries and their cultures to hear from someone directly that is living in a completely different culture than the students! The classes enjoyed baguettes, the French tradition of searching for a figurine in cake and learned basic phrases and words in French!

Brittany, also known as "Miss D," is well-known for her love of all things banana-related and her passion for arts and crafts! She's been an invaluable part of Cairo-Durham Elementary School for 12 years and recently joined the 5th grade team in Miss Wagor's classroom, where she consistently assists all of the teachers with a smile.
In recognition of her dedication, the 5th grade team wanted to express their gratitude by joining together to gift her a fully equipped cricut machine and a banana bag to store it in! Thank you for all you do, Miss D.!
