Denning Elementary School

Our staff at Denning would like to give a 🌟BIG Shoutout to W.F. Sonic.🌟 Our Sunshine Committee placed an order for our whole staff and intended on paying for them. The manager on duty said "Drinks on Us". "We would love to give back to our schools more often". We can't say "Thank You" enough. We will be ordering again soon.

🌟Bragging on some super cool kids! How long would it take you to pickup 145 pieces of trash? These boys did it all during their recess time. They were not asked to pickup any trash they just didn't on their own. Way to be a leader boys! You earned your bragging rights!🌟

LUNCH WITH THE PRINCIPAL I had the absolute pleasure of having lunch with Remi and Aubree! It is such a joy to get to know students one-on-one. These are my favorite lunches. ❤️

Don't forget to some see your Denning Teachers and Staff!
tomorrow evening. We will be serving up some cheeseburgers and french fries.
