- Recently, the Danville Primary School in the Danville Area School District joined the Johns Hopkins University’s National Network of Partnership Schools, a nationwide program that helps create excellent schools where families, teachers, staff and community members work together to create successful students.

As part of this initiative, the Primary School is looking to purchase children’s desks for children in the school that may need assistance.
