Students at Durand Eastman had the exciting opportunity to meet author Vivian Vande Velde, writer of 8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel ÷ 1 Dog = Chaos, the featured title for this year’s One School, One Book program. They shared their favorite moments from the story and had their copies signed. To celebrate the book even further, the school created a "Pet Wall" showcasing photos of beloved pets belonging to both students and staff. 🐶📚
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!"
