You know the drill for EI's #ThrowbackThursday! 👏 Say hello to Durand-Eastman 3rd grade teacher Jill Duquette during #LancersForLife this week! Jill explains why she EI is so special to her. 💙🙂
"East Irondequoit is where my heart belongs. It’s an honor to work with students and families who bike the same roads I once did, shop at the same stores, and enjoy the same rides at Seabreeze that I loved. Giving back to a community that has given me so much is truly priceless. “LANCERS BLEED BLUE” perfectly captures the deep sense of pride and connection I feel every day working in EI!"
