FFA Week: February 24 - 28
Each morning a trivia question will be asked after the pledge of allegiance. All students are eligible to participate. All students have to do to participate is put their name (first & last), grade and the answer to the trivia question on a Post-it note. Students can then submit their answers in the designated tubs around the school. On Friday, a winner will be drawn in each lunch, and winners will receive a cool prize that includes gift cards!
ALSO, we will be having dress-up days! Please encourage your students to dress up as well!
Monday: Camo Day
Tuesday: Blue and Gold
Wednesday: Pajama Day
Thursday: Jersey Day (wear your favorite sports jersey)
Friday: FFA shirt day (animal shirts or blue and gold shirts work)

Nutrition Club
The Nutrition Club provides supplemental weekend food for children at North, South and the Middle School each Friday during the school year. We all struggle at some point. The goal of this program is to ease a bit of the struggle. You are welcome to sign-up at any point during the school year. The food will be sent home in a plastic bag that can fit inside a school backpack or be carried. You only complete one form per family. List all of your children that you would like to participate. Each child in your family will receive their own cinch sack or bag on Fridays throughout the school year. This program is the result of the generosity of the Danville community!
Please contact Chrissy Larkin with any questions. clarkin9893@aol.com or 317-563-2498. Please click on the link below for the form:
