Greetings Danville Families,
Our teachers and staff had a gingerbread house competition afterschool yesterday (check our Facebook page for pictures of the gingerbread houses) and we need you and your students' help in determining the winner! We will decide the winner by doing a Penny War vote for the favorite. The rules for the Penny War are in the flyer that is attached to this email. The winning gingerbread house staff team will then be able to take all the money raised through the penny war and donate it to a charity of their choice. As the holiday season approaches we wanted our district to give back and thought this would be a fun way to do so. Take a look at the gingerbread houses and send in your votes between now and Tuesday, December 20th.
Thank you for your help and support!
Pat Wallace, Superintendent

The Danville Elementary Holiday concerts scheduled for Sunday, December 11th are postponed. Unfortunately, our elementary music director is ill with influenza and unable to attend on Sunday. With the health and safety of Mrs. Huebner, our students, and our Danville families in mind, the concert will be held at a later date. The last thing we want to do is expose anyone to any illnesses right before the holidays. The administration and music department are working to find a date after the Winter Break to reschedule our concerts. The district will communicate that date as soon as it is finalized. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

We had a fantastic turnout at this morning's Breakfast with a Buddy event sponsored by the Danville PVO. We would like to thank the PVO members, our cafeteria staff, and our custodial crew for their hard work in making this event possible. It was fabulous to have guests in our building once again. We are looking forward to the next one! #wearedanville #bearnation
We are looking forward to our Breakfast with a Buddy event tomorrow morning. Doors will open at 7:30 a.m. We have special guidelines for parking and entry into the building for those that will be attending. Please park behind the bus barn in the baseball/softball parking lot. We ask that you do not block the bus barn doors as our buses need to get out for our daily pick up. All guests can enter through either the Elementary entrance between the Elementary and the Daycare or the Junior High entrance (door #3 on the circle drive). The breakfast will take place in the Junior High gym. Due to bus arrival, no cars will be allowed in the circle drive. We ask that you do not park in the elementary parking lot or in front of the bus barn, as this is reserved for elementary staff. We are excited to see you at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning! #wearedanville #bearnation
