February Leaders of the Month and Academic superstars-These students are working hard to grow and be their best. We love celebrating students who shine! ☀️☀️☀️




Some Friday pick me ups for our Denning Staff. We had Redbirdmart for the teachers today. No bird bucks necessary. We also had donuts brought in for all staff, along with cookies and sweet tea from several parents in the community. A special Thank you to the Morelands for always whipping up awesome snacks for us.









Denning was honored to recognize Chloe Little and Beckam Crites at the Illinois Principal Association's Student Recognition Breakfast this morning.
They were selected for outstanding citizenship, leadership, and academic excellence. You make DES so proud. Keep flying high! We look forward to watching you soar. ♥️




We are beyond excited to celebrate Denning's February MVP staff member, Mrs. Jessica O'Daniel!
She has been such an amazing addition to the DES family. She goes above and beyond to support our staff and students, is always positive, organized, helpful, proactive, and spreads so much sunshine! She shows she cares in so many countless ways. We are beyond grateful for her every single day. ♥️☀️


We had some special visitors today. Mrs. Henson and her Gear Up class came to read to our littles.
They always enjoy when the older kids come and visit. The students get to ask questions and the big kids always have fun answering them. We can't wait until they come back for The Kindness club here at Denning.





Reminder Denning School will dismiss at 2:05 on Friday March 7th


Wacky Wednesday for sure!!!
We really get into our dress up days. ❤️
