We are building next year's PTO Board
We are looking for a parent/guardian who is excited about Duffy and has good communication skills to be next year's Vice President. This role could also be shared between two people. This role is essential to the operations of PTO and is a wonderful opportunity to get familiar with PTO activities and school staff. If you are interested in getting involved, please email current VP Dawn Gagliardi or Kim Molinaro.
