Students at Durand Eastman School put their problem‑solving and coding skills to the test by designing their own LEGO robot obstacle courses. After creating the courses, students programmed their robots to navigate each challenge from start to finish. Teams earned points for creativity, presentation, and successful completion of the course, showcasing impressive collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation. A great example of hands‑on learning in action! #LancersLEAD

Our DE clarinet students had a great session with Beth Fabrizio, retired band director, freelance clarinetist, and adjudicator. She taught students about their instrument, proper maintenance and care, and helped them improve technique and form. We’re grateful for her time and expertise! 🎶✨

A special connection made the day even more meaningful — Beth was Ms. DiRaimo’s own teacher growing up and she also worked in her classroom during her student‑teaching days. 🩵🎼
