New! Bingo Night Volunteer
Do you have a knack for coordinating events? If so, the Duffy PTO is in need of your help. We are looking for one or two volunteers to shadow Jenn O’Connell in the coordinating of Duffy BINGO night, with the plan of chairing or co-chairing the event next year. Bingo night is scheduled to take place on February 10th and will be virtual. The staff at Duffy do most of the planning for the event, your job would simply be to coordinate logistics with the staff, send out communications and coordinate prizes. Thank you for considering volunteering your time to keep Family Bingo Night a fun tradition for our Duffy community. If you are interested and/or have any questions please email Shannon Pecorelli and/or Tiffany Dammarell.
Your PTO Needs Co-Vice Presidents!
Your Duffy PTO is in immediate need of two engaged parents/guardians to serve as Co-Vice President this year. The position would mainly involve shadowing Sarah Dolan on emails, etc. to learn the role of President and to then serve as Co-Presidents next year. Sarah's term will end this spring and the vacancy must be filled for the PTO to continue delivering events and enrichment opportunities for our kids. There's no time like the present to get involved! If interested, please email Shannon Pecorelli and/or Tiffany Dammarell.

What can we say about Jenn O'Connell? With her last child in fifth grade, she's paid her dues and should be taking it easy, but here is what she's up to instead: Chair of Duffy Wolfpack Night, Chair of Duffy Yard Goats Night, Chair of Holiday Cart for Teachers, Chair of Bingo Night, Our representative for Foundation for West Hartford Public Schools, Our representative on Parent Teacher Council, Co-Chair of Fifth Grade Events...and that's not even half of it! As Past-Sitting President, she is also a bank of institutional knowledge for the entire PTO. As Thanksgiving approaches we want to tell Jenn THANK YOU for everything she has made and continues to make possible for Duffy students and families. She's a gem. She's a unicorn. We're so lucky.
One Year, One Time! If you want to submit a shout-out to someone making Duffy better, please email Sarah Dolan, PTO President. |
