Dragon Dash Updates!  Duffy’s First Dragon Dash is right around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited for this community-building event!

What: An untimed fun run that fundraises to make magic for our Duffy Dragons!  DJ Red Supreme will be there to pump the jams, concessions will be available for purchase, chalk and the playground will be available for anyone who wants a break from running.  Siblings are welcome but there are no wheels allowed on the running loop and all parents will need to stay as long as their kids are at the event (this is not a drop off event!)

       Prizes & Incentives:  

• • This is event is NOT a race.  The kids can run as many (or few!) laps as they want to run and only need to stay at the event as long as they are interested, you can leave at anytime

  • Prizes will be awarded to the top individual fundraiser from each grade level and also to the classroom that raises the most money for the school.
    
    
     When: Saturday, November 8th, 9:30–11:30 AM.  Please try to arrive promptly at 9:30 so that we can get our runners started in a timely manner.

     Where: Duffy Field

     Rain or Shine!

As a reminder, Every student will receive a free Dragon Dash t-shirt with the names of our generous sponsors and donors. On event day, let’s all wear our shirts proudly as a show of school spirit and community unity!

The Dragon Dash isn’t just about fundraising—it’s about building community, coming together as Dragons, and celebrating what makes Duffy special.

Thank you for supporting our students and cheering them on!

🚲 October is Walk/Bike/Ride to School Month:  The Duffy Brownies want to encourage all students to walk, bike, or roll to school.  This will help reduce our school's carbon footprint so that we can take care of our planet.  You can even consider setting up an informal bike bus or walk bus.  If you can't walk or bike to school, no problem.  Try to take the school bus or carpool.  Thank you for your help taking care of our environment.  Small changes can make a big difference.  We can't wait to see you on the move!  Check out the attached video!
