In partnership with the Ottawa County Health Department, Danbury Schools will host a Vaccination & Free Physical Clinic on Wednesday, May 20 from 3:00–5:00 PM in the Norton Center.

Free sports/school physicals will be available for all Danbury students. Immunizations for Kindergarten, 7th grade, and 12th grade requirements will also be offered; however, vaccines are not free. Please bring your insurance card so insurance may be billed.

Families are encouraged to complete required forms in advance and bring them to the clinic. Forms will also be available onsite, but a parent/guardian must be present to sign paperwork.

Save time and money on back-to-school shopping with Danbury Middle School's 2026–2027 Supply Kit Program! Skip the stores and order everything your child needs in just minutes.

Laker Families ⚓💙☀️

As we enter the final week of another outstanding school year, I want to take a moment to thank our students, staff, families, and community for the incredible support, partnership, and pride that make our district such a special place.

From our youngest PreK learners to the Class of 2026, this year has been filled with growth, achievement, and unforgettable memories. Our students have excelled in the classroom, on the stage, in the arts, through music and performances, in athletics and competitions, and in service and leadership throughout our schools and community. We have celebrated academic accomplishments, record-breaking performances, creative talents, meaningful milestones, and countless everyday moments that remind us what it means to be a Laker.

Most importantly, we have watched our students continue to grow into kind, resilient, hardworking young people who support one another and make us proud every single day.

Thank you to our families for trusting us with your children and for your continued encouragement and involvement throughout the year. Thank you to our community for always showing up to cheer on our students and support our schools. And thank you to our dedicated staff members whose passion, care, and commitment help create opportunities for students to learn, grow, and succeed.

As summer begins, I hope your family finds time to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories together. Enjoy every moment of this well-deserved break, celebrate all that was accomplished this year, and know that we are already excited for what lies ahead for our Lakers.

Thank you for being part of our Laker family. Have a safe, happy, and memorable summer — and as always, Go Lakers!

Ms. Cari Buehler
