Danielsville Elementary
Graduating Independent Productive Citizens
Today, we celebrate the incredible bus drivers who do so much more than drive our students to and from school each day.
They listen to stories, offer encouragement, notice when something seems different, settle disagreements, make students laugh, and sometimes simply provide a listening ear when a child needs one.
They know our students. They know their personalities, their routines, their friendships, and even when something might be bothering them. They talk to them, worry about them, care for them, and look out for them—just like every other member of our school family.
Every morning and afternoon, they carry something far more precious than a bus full of students: they carry our Colts.
Thank you to our amazing Danielsville Elementary bus drivers for helping make sure our students arrive safely, feel cared for, and know that they matter. We appreciate you more than you know!
Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day! #ColtsCan Dream Empower Succeed 🐎🚌

Another student enjoying their Bell 2 Bell gift card to Dairy Queen. Congratulations for being here all day every day in the month of September.
Mrs. Whitworth’s math classes have been crushing goals and earning special flavored waters and prize box rewards for completing 20 I-Ready math lessons at 80% or above. We are super proud of these Colts for all of their hard work!

Our canned food drive begins Monday, Oct. 19, and runs through Friday, Oct. 30. We are excited to help families in need in Madison County and to encourage a little healthy competition. The house that brings in the most cans will earn 50 House Points, 2nd Place - 25 House Points, and 3rd Place - 10 House Points. We are also competing with the other elementary schools in the county, so let's show off our kind Colt hearts and win BIG by donating canned items. #ColtsCan
