Duffy has been growing, and so has our annual budget. The Board recently approved a $54,000 budget for this school year. That budget includes improvements to the school grounds and classrooms not otherwise funded; events including the teacher's luncheon, Welcome Wagon, Coffee on the lawn, and 5th grade events; holiday treats for our faculty and staff and periodicals; and it allows us to provide scholarships and support our larger community. So how do we fund that budget? With your help!! We hold various fundraisers, but also are helped by Amazon Smiles contributions (remember to reallocate to Duffy each year), charitable matching, and direct donations.
We appreciate your support in all the PTO does to support our wonderful school!
National Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month
National Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month takes place between September 15th - October 15th each year since its inception in 1968. The Duffy Parent Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee is happy to share some resources for your family to learn more about this important time together. More information can be found Here.
Whether you want to help or want to learn or both, don't hesitate to reach out to Tracy Wu Fastenberg (tfastenberg@gmail.com) or join the Committee via Konstella!
