Dear DuVall Families,
Happy Easter to all those celebrating!
Happy Administrative Professionals Day (Wednesday) to Mrs. Jen Schulte and Mrs. Hillary Burzawa in our main office and Mrs. Nadia Bazzi in our Media Center. If you are in the office this week please thank them for all that they do for our school.
You can still register for Summer Discovery at Long. It will be a great program filled with learning and fun.

If you registered for Summer Discovery anticipating it would be at DuVall and you are no longer interested in your child attending please let me know. Fifth graders will be attending Stout.
Thank you Mrs. Porras for organizing our Buddy’s fundraiser last week. Our PTA earned $488.64. Thank you everyone who supported this cause.
