2023-2024 is the Year to Volunteer!
We all love our Duffy community and the things it has to offer...from family events like the Duffy Spirit Dance and the Duffy Fair to Teacher Appreciation Week and the Duffy Garden. All of these amazing events take a village to execute; please come be part of the village! The Duffy PTO is a small group in need new faces and new energy to help keep these events up and running. Please consider signing up for at least one volunteer opportunity this year.
Two Important Notes:
1. If you were on a committee this past school year and want to be on that committee again, you need to sign up again here.
2. Please consider signing up as an Event Coordinator. We'll put you in touch with the person who previously handled the event and share their Event Report with all the details of what needs to be done.
