Danville Community School District

This weekend, 8th grader, Camden Noll, auditioned for the SEIBA Junior High Honor Band and was not only accepted—he also earned a spot in the All-Iowa 8th Grade Honor Band, an elite group made up of only a few students from each region across the state. Camden was the sole representative for Southeast Iowa! 🎶🐻 This is a truly historic accomplishment for Danville! Camden is the first student in many years to achieve this incredible honor. Last year marked Danville’s return to the SEIBA Honor Band after a long time, and Camden has raised the bar even higher this year. Congratulations, Camden! #BearNation #WeAreDanville

Today, the 4th graders amazed us with their Annual 50 States Parade! 🇺🇸 🐻 Each student introduced themselves, shared their state, and shared some fun facts. Great job, everyone! #BearNation #WeAreDanville

A big thank you to Maddie Belknap with Century 21 and Jerilyn Horn of Jerilyn Horn Kitchen and Bath Designs for making this experience possible! Ms. Weirup's Interior Design class wrapped up their semester with a trip to Burlington. Students toured a recently sold home with Maddie Belknap, learning about the home-buying process and the role of a realtor. They also visited Jerilyn Horn Kitchen and Bath Designs, where they practiced client presentations and interactions. Along the way, they explored historic Burlington and got a glimpse of its unique housing styles. Thank you to our awesome community partners for supporting our students! #BearNation #WeAreDanville
