Thank you to those who donated cookie dough for the Cookie grams that will be sold next week! They are $2.00/each and will be sold in the front lobby in the mornings and during lunch. All proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association.
The book fair has been extended through next Wednesday, Feb. 11.
February Break is Feb. 16 – 20. No school for students.
Valentine’s Day: Please be aware that the school does not accept Valentine’s deliveries for students. Do not arrange for gifts, flowers, or balloons to be delivered at school for a student. Likewise, balloons, flowers, and large gifts will not be allowed on buses. Please keep the gifts at home. Students who receive any gifts will be asked to store them in the front office for the day. Thank you for helping with this so we can keep our focus on teaching and learning.
Get ready for Hoops for Heart Challenge, kicking off on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Please register today by clicking here, or using the QR code below:
The Hoops for Heart event will have different basketball activities and challenges for participants. If your child would like to participate, we ask them to donate $20 to the American Heart Association. All proceeds will go to the American Heart Association to raise awareness for things like congenital heart defects, nutrition security, CPR training, mental well-being, and more as they work to end heart disease and stroke. Through your child's participation and support, you’re not only helping hearts in our community but also helping those who need it most. Your donation will fund groundbreaking research and programs that keep hearts beating and help people have longer, healthier lives.
All money raised goes to the American Heart Association. Your student should see Coach Lee or Coach Bodiford with questions.
Thank you for keeping hearts everywhere beating strong!
Pop Top Contest: Each February we have a Pop top contest! Please collect the pop tops from soda cans and turn them into your HR teacher. All pop tops are donated to the Ronald McDonald House where they recycle them for money to support the families with sick children who are staying there. Our contest runs the through the month of February, and the winning HR in each grade wins a donut breakfast.
Lost and Found: If your student is missing an item, please ask him or her to check the lost and found before next Friday. All remaining items are donated to charity during the break.
Testimonial Tuesdays: Share your good story about Daniell and our teachers for a chance to be featured on our social media accounts! We'd love to "swarm" our posts with all the great things happening here at Daniell!
