The PTO would like to invite parents to join Duffy's Equity Diversity and Inclusion Committee! The EDI Committee works to support our community by planning events and sharing information that broadens perspectives and fosters inclusion. In the past, the EDI committee has hosted the annual Souper Bowl Food Drive, a trip to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, various speakers, and Family Game Night. All are welcome and needed to help plan this year's events! If interested, please join the "EDI 2025-2026" group on Konstella. You can also message Ann Clifford or Laura Turner, committee leads, via Konstella with any questions.
