Duke School Under the Oak Magazine, Fall 2017

Friends share their
experiences about Duke School.
It was a huge honor to be able to come back to Duke School and see students in
the same place I sat when I graduated. It was a very powerful experience to be
able to speak about my experiences at Duke School and after, and hopefully let
the Class of 2017 know what I wish I had known in their position.

Being able to share special times like Grandparents Day at Duke School
with Alex (5th) and Tori (1st) fills my heart with joy. This special day
affords the perfect opportunity to experience all Duke School has done to help
my grandchildren develop their special gifts and be ready for each next step.
Listening to school leaders and teachers, enjoying the children’s performances
and artwork, and seeing students and teachers in the classrooms validates that
Duke School succeeds - ensuring that our grandchildren will, too.

Grandparents Day has always been an opportunity to experience first hand
what my grandchildren are accomplishing at Duke School. Over the years, I
have come to realize this has been my chance to see both grandchildren create a
valuable foundation for themselves.
