Ms. Goodwin's Global 9 students worked at stations and read about the Rise and Fall of Ancient Civilizations. Students were tasked with answering the following questions: What were the commonalities in their rise, and what do they all have in common for their fall?
Great job, all!

Cairo-Durham High School’s December Student of the Month is senior Sadie Hall!
Currently, Sadie is enrolled in very rigorous classes, such as College American Government, College Physics, AP Calculus, and AP English Language, and is maintaining a 90% or higher in all of those classes. Her teacher, Mrs. Jones, describes her as, “a great role model and always doing what needs to get done with a smile and no complaints. She is involved in multiple school activities and events. While doing all of those non-academic activities, she is also able to bring a 100% to class and maintain a high average. She does whatever is asked and does it well. She is dependable and reliable. She always has a smile and a great attitude.” For these reasons, teachers and staff members are proud to name her Student of the Month.
Outside of class, Sadie participates in the band, chorus, musical productions, National Honor Society, is on the basketball team and is the senior class Vice President. When not in school, Sadie enjoys reading, listening to music and spending time with family and friends. She states that her friends would describe her as, “the funniest person they know.” After high school, Sadie plans on attending college to study Mathematics, perhaps one day becoming a math teacher. Here she is pictured with one of her teachers, Mrs. Clermont. Great job Sadie, keep up the hard work being a wonderful role model for our CD Students!

Students in Calculus and Pre Calculus with Ms. Jones at CDHS are frequently tasked with completing challenges in their curriculum. One recent challenge titled "Leap Frog" saw students move three red frogs and three yellow frogs to opposite sides of a seven space path while following certain restrictions. In the process, students work through frustration, practice persistence and learn their own learning style. Great job, all!
January is School Board Appreciation Month! Thank you to all of our Cairo-Durham Central School District Board of Education members for all you do for our school district!
