Backseat drivers, in the best kind of way!
🚗💫
If you learned to drive in Duxbury, it is likely Doris Hakkila and Don Dellorco taught you. They have patiently (and courageously!) helped thousands of students gain confidence and learn the rules of the road. As we bring our Driver's Ed program to a close, we thank Doris and Don for years of dedication to our students - the encouragement given, the nerves calmed, and the lessons taught - in and out of the car.
Thank you!
If you see them on the road, give a wave! 👋 💚

The end of an era in our DHS Science Department 🔬
Congratulations and our best wishes to Mr. Kelly, who is retiring today after an incredible 31 years in our district! 💫 Most of his career was spent teaching physics, but Mr. Kelly also coached soccer and served as a Class Advisor - working with thousands of students over the years. He will be missed!
Mr. Kelly, enjoy your well deserved retirement! 🐉
Bringing summer reading to life! 💫📚

Alden classrooms are stocked thanks to DHS students Grey Metzler '27, Halle DiPasqua '27 and Kennedy Smith '27. These NHS volunteers skipped the beach to deliver supplies. Their hard work was appreciated on a very hot summer day 🤝 #DragonPride

Whether you're turning pages at the firehouse, at the beach, or on the couch, there's still time to finish your DMS and DHS summer reading before school starts. So many great choices to borrow @duxburyfreelibrary or buy @booked.dux 📚 #SummerReading

Celebrating our Retirees 💫
Mary Powers loves Kindergarten! She retires as a Kindergarten Assistant after 22 years at Chandler School. During her career, Mrs. Powers has had the pleasure of working with three wonderful kindergarten teachers and 444 children (she’s done the math!) She has saved the class pictures from all 22 years, and every June, she compares the Kindergarten students she once knew with their graduation pictures in the Duxbury Clipper. “Every year, I feel so proud of how much the children learned and changed.” Mrs. Powers will miss meeting a brand new group of children every September and her colleagues will miss her steady presence and willingness to help, not to mention her famous Chex Mix and gingerbread. Mrs. Powers, enjoy your well-deserved retirement! 💚

Miss Carla says she’ll miss the hugs, the laughter, and the joy of watching children grow. “It has been such a rewarding experience helping educate the youngest children in our district, and then to see them graduate high school as confident, intelligent young adults!” Enjoy your well-deserved retirement, Miss Carla! 💚
