Thank You, Tiffany O’Connor, for Your Volunteer Work at Darien High School

Thank you, Tiffany O’Connor, for your volunteer work in the Darien High School Parents Association.

—This article is part of a series of daily articles profiling the volunteers recognized in May at the Darien annual volunteer recognition luncheon organized by the Community Fund of Darien.

Tiffany O’Connor’s Efforts at Darien High School

Tiffany O’Connor has been a tireless and dedicated volunteer within the Darien High School Parents Association and has served in the role of co-chair during the 2018-19 school year.

Tiffany has a sunny disposition which shines through in every endeavor she undertakes. She has a wonderful sense of humor which allows her to lead with grace. She is a strong advocate for our students and she is a perfect liaison between the school and families because of her integrity and warm demeanor. 

Tiffany’s wisdom is an asset to the administrative team because she provides a perspective that is invaluable and we rely upon her guidance as we work to make DHS the best it can be. 

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Tiffany this year and we will miss her tremendously as she steps down from her post.  Thank you, Tiffany, for being a devoted champion of Darien High School students and staff. We are so grateful for all that you have done for DHS!

— DHS Principal Ellen Dunn

About This Series

• The profiles in this series were presented at the 2019 volunteer recognition luncheon held at the Darien Community Association and recorded (in this video) by Darien TV79.
• Darien runs on volunteers — from our churches to our town government, schools, political parties, sports teams, three fire departments and our local nonprofits. They’re the largest part of what makes this town a community. We should all encourage them and thank them.
• Darienite.com is running this series now, while more people are thinking about whether they want to volunteer in the upcoming year.
• Each article presents the description provided about that volunteer (or sometimes more than one) as provided by an organization that benefited from that person’s efforts.
