Families enjoyed a "Gator Skate" night full of fun at Skate Town this week hosted by GLH Johnson Elementary PTA. Go Gator Skaters! Thank you to School Board member Ms. Keisha Walker for coming out to enjoy some skating fun!

Families at Forest Hills participated in Science Night, where K-5 students engaged in various science activities, all aligned with their SOL standards!

During tutoring, Park Avenue scholars practiced using context clues and a thesaurus to determine the meaning of unknown words, building their vocabulary skills.

Activ8 students are thriving in a variety of Enrichment Clubs, where they explore their passions, develop new skills and have fun with friends! From gardening to robotics, math club to Spanish club, theatre to engineering design, the possibilities are endless.

Schoolfield students have a LOVE for reading. Students have already logged over 12,000 books for this school year on Beanstack! Keep up the phenomenal work scholars!

On Thursday, January 30, school and district leaders announced Westwood Middle School Mathematics Teacher Brittany Irvin as the 2026 Danville Public Schools Teacher of the Year.

Irvin, a 14-year teaching veteran, has a Bachelor of Science degree from Longwood University and a Gifted Education certification.

As an educator, Irvin believes in building relationships with her students. Each year, she greets her students by welcoming them to “the family.” She frequently supports her students outside the classroom in their extracurriculars, whether they are school-sponsored or not. As a teacher mentor, she observes lessons, opens her classroom to new teachers, regularly checks in with her colleagues, and offers advice.
