It was a huge honor to be able to come back to <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>School</strong> and see students in <strong>the</strong> same place I sat when I graduated. It was a very powerful experience to be able to speak about my experiences at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>School</strong> and after, and hopefully let <strong>the</strong> Class of <strong>2017</strong> know what I wish I had known in <strong>the</strong>ir position. Zain Clapacs ’11 Graduating Class of <strong>2017</strong> Alumni Speaker Being able to share special times like Grandparents Day at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>School</strong> with Alex (5th) and Tori (1st) fills my heart with joy. This special day affords <strong>the</strong> perfect opportunity to experience all <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>School</strong> has done to help my grandchildren develop <strong>the</strong>ir special gifts and be ready for each next step. Listening to school leaders and teachers, enjoying <strong>the</strong> children’s performances and artwork, and seeing students and teachers in <strong>the</strong> classrooms validates that <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>School</strong> succeeds - ensuring that our grandchildren will, too. “Nana Penny” Penelope Dempsey Dietz <strong>2017</strong> VIP Silent Auction Chair Recipient Grandparents Day has always been an opportunity to experience first hand what my grandchildren are accomplishing at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Over <strong>the</strong> years, I have come to realize this has been my chance to see both grandchildren create a valuable foundation for <strong>the</strong>mselves.
