As we close out the first half of the school year, we want to take a moment and say thank you to our incredible Duffy community.

Because of your generosity, time, and enthusiasm, this fall was filled with meaningful moments and memorable experiences. Through our fundraising efforts, including cheering on our Dragons at the Duffy Dragon Dash, along with Spirit Wear sales, Pie Sales, and the Book Fair, we were able to raise funds that directly support our students, teachers, and school. These funds help enhance classroom learning, support our teachers, and make possible important school-wide initiatives such as class field trips and enriched educational experiences for every grade, while ensuring PTO support reaches all students and families.

We also had an amazing time building connection and school spirit together through community events like the Harvest Hunt and the Fall Duffy Dance. These moments brought families together, strengthened relationships, and helped create the sense of belonging that makes Duffy such a special place.

Equally important were the ways our community showed up to give back. Holiday Helpers, the Teachers’ Holiday Cart, Parent/Teacher Conferences, and Give a Book, Get a Book reflected the care and generosity that define our school community and our shared commitment to supporting one another.

All of this, and so much more, was made possible by families who volunteered their time, shared their talents, donations, and showed up again and again for our school. Your involvement is what allows the PTO to continue supporting our teachers, students, and families in meaningful ways.

We are deeply grateful for each and every one of you.

Wishing our Duffy families, teachers, and staff a wonderful holiday season, however you celebrate this time of year, and a joyful, restful break.

We look forward to all that’s ahead in the new year!
