FUNDRAISER: TEA COLLECTION'S "SPRING DAYS"

2/22 thru 2/29 (ends at 11:59 pm PST)

If your family or friends enjoy shopping the Tea clothing line, this is a no-brainer to earn some money for the Duck's Nest Parent Association to fund enrichment programs for our kids, community building events, teacher trainings and updates around school! And some amazing little Spring and Summer outfits, too!

THANK YOU!

Movie Night:

Thanks to everyone who attended our Movie Night! It was a fun night out and a great success, raising $400 towards DNPA efforts.



DNPA Performance Series, Aguacero:

Big thanks to Aguacero, the traditional Puerto Rican Bomba music and dance ensemble. They wowed our kids with their dynamic and student-involved presentation with drumming, dancing and singing!




Each year, the DNPA makes a grant to the school, funded by prior year's fundraising efforts and aimed at enhancing the fabulous early childhood education our kids are receive every day at Duck's Nest. This year, DNPA is funding an exciting performance series, with local performers, presenters & educators from our surrounding community.
