Welcome!

WELCOME to the Duck's Nest Parent Association (DNPA) blog!

The goal of this blog is to consolidate information for you, so it's easy to see what's going on and how we need your help! We know life is busy and we want the DNPA to feel accessible and be a community that we all want to help build. Please take a moment to consider how you can participate. Whether it's a room parent position, event coordinator role, or event set-up.  Everything helps.

We are in need of volunteers for the following events and committees: (to volunteer open these links)


Thank you to the many parents who attended the DNPA kick-off meeting. We're excited for the new year, new faces, and the opportunity to continue to support our amazing community. If you weren't able to attend, or would like to learn more about what the DNPA does, click here.
