This year, Danville School proudly participated in the Elementary Math Olympiads (MOEMS) program, an internationally recognized mathematics competition designed to challenge and inspire students to develop strong problem-solving skills. The program emphasizes critical thinking, perseverance, and a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts through a series of five contests held throughout the school year.

We had 14 dedicated students participate in the program this year, representing both 5th and 6th grades. These students demonstrated outstanding commitment, meeting regularly and engaging in rigorous mathematical practice to prepare for each competition.

We are proud to recognize the following students for their exceptional performance:

Honorable Mentions:

Their achievements reflect not only their mathematical abilities but also their dedication and hard work throughout the year.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the students who participated in Math Olympiads this year, as well as to their families for their continued support and encouragement. We are incredibly proud of the effort and enthusiasm shown by this group and look forward to continued success in the future.

The Pope Memorial Library invited Danville’s chapter of the National Art Honor Society to revamp an old dragon sculpture to “live” on a shelf in the children’s section, and they delivered! We love seeing our students contribute their creativity and talents to the community. A special thank you to NAHS advisor and art educator Abigail Bartell, as well as the NAHS students, for their incredible work. The dragon looks fantastic!

Head lice are a common occurrence among school-aged children and can appear in any school community. They are small insects that live on the scalp and feed on tiny amounts of blood. While they can cause itching and discomfort, head lice are not dangerous and do not transmit disease.

Lice spread primarily through direct head-to-head contact, which can occur during play, sports, group work, or sleepovers. They do not jump or fly, and having lice is not related to hygiene or cleanliness.

Common signs to watch for include:

If you suspect your child has head lice:

Students may return to school after treatment has been started. Ongoing monitoring and nit removal at home are important to prevent reinfestation.

If you have any questions or would like assistance checking your child’s hair, please feel free to contact the school health office. We are always happy to support families and provide guidance. 

Thank you for helping keep our school community healthy.
