Denning Elementary School

Read Across America Week.

⭐️ Wing Leaders in Action ⭐️ We encourage students to be responsible, lead by example, and encourage others to be their best. These students lead the way and encourage good hallway behavior during lunch. Way to go Deacon, Skylin, and LilyMae!

❤️READER LEADERS ❤️ Our 2nd graders partner with a Kindergarten class each week to read together. We love watching our students be reader leaders!

We want to BRAG on Christian! He is setting personal goals for himself and crushing them day after day. He is a goal-setter and goal-getter!! Way to go 🙌🏼

2026 KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

Happy Valentine's Day from our Denning Family to yours! 💕

Hi Everyone,

We are so excited to announce that Denning is once again participating in Change for a Cure (formerly The Quest for a Million Pennies) to support St. Jude through Z100!

The Kickoff: Starting next week, February 17th, please encourage your students to bring in any loose change (cash is also welcome!).

The Prize: The grade level that raises the most money wins a party! You’ll get to pick the date, and the "flavor" of the party is TBA.

Let’s show these kids the power of kindness. Happy collecting!

Parent Group Easter Fun

Thank you Betsy Brown for bringing your puppet show and sharing with 2nd grade about the life and times of young John A. Logan.

Way to go Higen!! He exceeded a goal he had set for himself and knocked it out. Way to go Buddy.

It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If 90% of the classroom invites 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree.
