It takes a village to pull off all of the various PTO events that happen throughout the year, and we're seeking volunteers for the following position(s): 
  • Duffy Welcome Wagon Dinner/Welcome Back Social: Volunteers needed this Thursday between 4:30-7:30 to help set up/serve/clean; please click here to sign up.

  • Garden Committee: This year’s Garden Committee chair, Yelena Hrybanau, is bursting with energy and ideas to make our Duffy Garden beautiful and needs help on several upcoming projects: a fall clean up, cleaning/organizing the shed, planting bulbs and more! To join this committee please click here.

  • Volunteer Coordinator(s): Work with the outgoing VC to learn the ropes and recruit volunteers for the various PTO committees and events held throughout the year. No experience is needed, just good planning and organization skills! Email Kim Molinaro at kimmolinaro@gmail.com for more information!

A big shout-out to new K parent, Reda Othman, who stepped up as this year’s PTO Board of Education Rep. We appreciate your time, Reda!
