HOW SCHOOL AFFECTS COMMUNITY

Active families create active students

Students are active in school activities, therefore,
they are more likely to become active in the
community
School activities help build community - athletics
well supported, events well attended

HOW COMMUNITY AFFECTS SCHOOL

Danville residents are very proud of their vibrant history downtown, historic areas, parks, community events, etc.
Danville residents are also very proud of their schools
With a supportive community and families that value
similar things, the students and teachers are set up for
success
Success in terms of data measured by the Department of
Education

HEIGHTENED AWARENESS
In communities with less diversity, educators must
work to provide students with opportunities that
expand beyond the small town
Less diversity can create issues for those who are not
in the majority
Educators must work to provide a well-rounded
education for each student without pushing the
boundaries of the tight knit, small town values too far
