Daniel Young Elementary

Our 1st graders had a glowing good time today during Glow Day! 💡✨

🎉 WE have the BEST administrators around! 🎉

Today we celebrated our incredible admin team, Todd and Missie, with a totally rad “Dip Day” complete with dips, desserts, and framed throwback portraits of our fearless leaders. 😎

But beyond the fun, we are so incredibly grateful for the leadership, support, encouragement, and care they pour into our school every single day. Todd and Missie lead with huge hearts, wisdom, humor, and genuine love for both students and staff.

Thank you BOTH for always showing up, cheering us on, solving problems, loving our kids, and leading our school so faithfully. We appreciate you more than words can say! 🐬💚💙

Mrs. Snyder’s class MAPped their way to success with a CAMP THEMED DAY! 🏕️🪵✏️🔥🐻 Way to go BRAINIACS!!! 🧠

Reminder, DYE families- tomorrow is Field Day! ☀️🎉

Coach Cook has prepared an amazing day full of fun, games, and memories for our students, and we can’t wait to enjoy it together!

Please make sure your child comes prepared for a day of outdoor activities and water fun. We’re looking forward to a fantastic day at DYE! 💙💛

📼✨ BACK IN THE 90s… and we’re celebrating our teachers in style! ✨📼

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week and we’re going full throwback with a 90s Spirit Week your kids are going to LOVE! From neon vibes to “Pump Up the Jam” pajama day, it’s going to be all that and a bag of chips. 😎

But more than the fun outfits, we want to encourage something that never goes out of style—KINDNESS. 💛
A note, a drawing, a kind email, a small treat… those little things mean SO much to our teachers who show up every single day for our kids.

Let’s show our teachers just how much they ROCK—because honestly, they’re the real MVPs. 🙌

We are so proud to celebrate our Teacher of the Year, Josi Harrison! 🤍

Josi is one of our incredible SEB teachers, and anyone who knows her knows this honor is so well deserved. She shows up every single day with patience, compassion, and a deep commitment to meeting each student exactly where they are. She creates a space where students feel safe, seen, and capable—and that kind of impact lasts far beyond the classroom.

Josi, thank you for the heart you pour into your students, your team, and our entire school community. You are making a difference in ways that truly matter, and we are so grateful for you.

Congratulations, Josi! 🎉

Mrs. Farmer’s first-grade class enjoyed reading with finger flashlights today. 🔦🤗💙

There’s something extra special about watching our Dolphins grow… and then getting to cheer them on as they take their next big step 💙💚

Join us for the Daniel Young Legacy Walk as we celebrate our incredible Class of 2026 seniors! These former Dolphins are coming back where it all began, and we can’t wait for our current students to line the halls, wave, cheer, and be inspired by all they’ve accomplished.

✨ It’s a full-circle moment.
✨ It’s a glimpse into the future for our littlest learners.
✨ And it’s a chance to celebrate hard work, perseverance, and dreams taking flight.

📅 Wednesday, May 20th

Let’s make it a moment they’ll never forget—full of smiles, cheers, and Dolphin pride 🐬
