🇺🇸 Home of the Free, Because of the Brave 🇺🇸
Tuesday, our Danville community came together for a very special Veterans Day Assembly and breakfast to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
It was a morning filled with gratitude, reflection, and pride as our students and staff showed appreciation for the sacrifices made by our veterans. We are so thankful to all who joined us—veterans, families, and community members—for allowing us to recognize and celebrate your service.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to our own Danville staff members who have served our nation:
🇺🇸 John March – Transportation Director
🇺🇸 Jerry Wilhelm – Maintenance Staff
🇺🇸 Rick Willson – Bus Driver
🇺🇸 Ashley Johnson – JH/HS Teacher
🇺🇸 Jon Gates – School Resource Officer
Your dedication to both our country and our school community makes us incredibly proud.
From all of us at Danville Community School District, thank you for your courage, your service, and your example.

Both JH Baseball and Softball games scheduled to be played in Danville are postponed.
The HS Baseball and Softball games vs. West Burlington will now both be played at the West Burlington fields starting at 5:30 p.m. At 4:00, if the fields are still too wet, we will make a determination whether or not to play both JV & Varsity at 5:30 p.m., or just Varsity only at 7:00 p.m.
We will send another message shortly after 4:00 p.m. with an update on the final decision for tonight's high school games.
Good afternoon,
I apologize for the late changes, but due to poor field conditions on our baseball field, the JV/V Baseball games that were to be played in Danville will now be played in Mediapolis, starting with JV at 5:30.
The JH baseball games originally scheduled to take place in Mediapolis for tonight have been postponed until Tuesday June 24, and will be played in Danville, starting with 7th grade at 5:30.
The JH softball games scheduled for tonight in Mediapolis will take place as planned, with the bus leaving at 4:15 PM. High school softball will still continue to play a varsity doubleheader in Danville tonight starting at 5:30 PM.
Thanks,
Amber Taeger
GO BEARS!
Good afternoon,
Tonight's high school baseball and softball games at Central Lee will be played VARSITY FIRST, starting at 5:30 p.m., to attempt to avoid potential bad weather entering the area later this evening. JV will follow the varsity games, weather permitting.
Thanks,
Amber Taeger
