DMWS Canned Food Drive for Urban Ministries

Urban Ministries of DurhamMany thanks for supporting the DMWS Canned Food Drive in February. Urban Ministries of Durham was very grateful for the 334 food items we delivered for distribution through their food pantry. The children enjoyed lining the hallways with food and talking about helping our neighbors. We were also able to sneak in some math connections!

I am so, so grateful for the years my two children spent at Duke Memorial Weekday School. DMWS gave my children the safe and loving environment they needed to learn and grow. The teachers at DMWS went above and beyond to care for them and teach them, and our family has so many happy memories from our time at this wonderful school.
