On May 13th, we hosted our first Duncan Scholars Field Day! Our Scholars enjoyed a nice picnic along with a variety of activities, including pickleball, water ballon tossing, tug of war, and kickball. It was a great opportunity to spend time outdoors and unwind following the stress of finals.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made the day so much fun. We loved seeing everyone get involved!
