2026 DCD Duck Derby
Introducing the 2026 DCD Spring Fair!
We are thrilled to announce the 2026 DCD Fair and 1st Annual DCD Duck Derby. A day to come together as a community, this year’s Fair will feature inflatable obstacle courses and bouncy houses, face-painting and henna tattoos, a dunk tank, snacks, and more, and will be a special way to celebrate our families, our community, and our dedicated faculty staff.
Please note: due to weather, the DCD Fair will now take place this Saturday, May 16 from 12:00 – 3:00 pm.
This year, you will be able to sell ducks online. Please share this link with family, friends, neighbors and colleagues to purchase ducks. Be sure that anyone purchasing ducks credits the appropriate DCD student with their purchase. Ducks may be sold until 2:30 p.m. on Friday, May 22. The students who sell the winning ducks will win a prize and the person who purchased the winning duck will win a prize too!
As always, we also have special prizes for our top student sellers (details can be found here). We know that the class ice cream party is always the most coveted prize and we look forward to seeing which grade is the cherry on top! Also, do not miss the chance to be Head of School for the Day! All you need to do is sell at least 5 ducks!
Good luck, and thank you for supporting DCD!
