We are grateful to Bette Van Pypen and Marg Grosfield who were so willing to share their complementary talents with our kids. We hope that your retirement will bring many new adventures and you will be able to find ways to share your gifts with new people. We have such an amazing staff to work with from our very newest to our most experienced! Duchess School is excited to welcome Miss Getz who will be teaching Grade 1/2. We are so proud of the work that we are doing and cannot wait to keep striving to do better. We love learning, and that is why we still have not left school. We are so grateful that you trust your little ones with us and we love watching them grow into engaged, ethical, and entrepreneurial citizens in our communities.
