Can’t make it to Parents Night Out, but still want to be a part of the action? 

No problem! There are two additional ways to participate:

 
1) Bid on items in the Virtual Auction between Oct. 29th and Nov. 3rd by clicking the “register to bid” button on the auction website. 
 
2) Donate! Every year as part of the Parents Night Out Fundraiser, we select one "big ticket item" to raise funds for based directly on feedback from Duffy teachers and staff. This year, we will raise money for a unique field trip experience for each grade at Duffy this year! Let's give our kids some extra, hands-on immersed enrichment outside of the classroom! Donations can be made on the auction website - link above. 
Duffy "Ski/Snowboard Wednesday" Program - Registration Open for Winter 2024!
We are pleased to announce that the "Ski/Snowboard Wednesday" Program is back for another year on the slopes of Ski Sundown, starting in January 2024. This parent-organized, co-op program is not affiliated with Duffy School or the Duffy PTO, and is a weekly ski program open for students in Grades 4 and 5 with a waitlist for Grade 3. 
 
More information, including costs, dates/times, lift and lesson packages, transportation options, and more can be found on our Program Flyer. Parents must complete a multi-step process with registration form, mandatory hand-signed waiver forms (2), and payment details. Registration & Payment Deadline: November 3, 2023. Bus transportation, however, is limited so register early!
 
Our current program leaders, Emily and Matt Rooney will be leaving Duffy after this year. We are looking to onboard a passionate and ski-loving 4th (or 3rd) grade parent(s) to take over the program next year, apprenticing with with us throughout this season to learn the ropes of running the program. We can't wait to have you join us!
 
For any questions and if interested in volunteering to help run next season's Program, please contact DuffySkiClub@gmail.com.
 
Thank you for supporting the Duffy PTO!
