Thank you for being an essential part of our school family. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Ginger King and Lisa Prince's Grade 1 class had a creative celebration on the last day of school! 🫧 The students used shaving cream to clean their tables, making the end of the school year fun, exciting, and spotless. Great job, Duziners!
Duzine Elementary School was filled with joy and laughter during an adorable puppet show, starring our wonderful Pre-K students! 🎭❤️ A special shoutout to Riley Burdick, Piper Casey, Aidan Ifkovits, and Daphne Paul-LaRonca from the High School’s Participation in Government, Literature, and Economics for Today’s Students class (known as PIGLETS). Since May, they’ve been working with our Pre-K students, and the results were simply magical. Thank you, PIGLETS, for your dedication and creativity! Our little ones had an unforgettable experience.
