Bulldog parents and guardians, your voice matters! We encourage every Dannelly Elementary family to take a few moments to complete the Montgomery Public Schools (MPS) Family Survey.
This is a districtwide survey designed to help MPS hear directly from families across our school community. Your feedback will help our district better understand the needs, experiences, concerns, and priorities of our families as decisions are made about how we can best support students and schools.
📋 Please take a few minutes to complete the MPS Family Survey. The more families who participate, the better our district can understand what is working well and where additional support or improvements may be needed.
🗣️ Your Voice Matters.
🤝 Your Feedback Matters.
❤️ Your Family Matters.
Dannelly families, let’s make sure our Bulldog voices are heard! 🐾

📅 Saturday, August 22, 2026
⏰ 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.

This year is especially meaningful because it marks the 10th year that Stuff the Truck has supported Dannelly Elementary School! We are incredibly grateful for this continued partnership and the impact it has had on our students and school community.
This year, Stuff the Truck will once again collect snacks for the MPS Backpack Program benefiting Dannelly Elementary students. A teacher supply drive will also be held to provide much-needed classroom supplies for teachers throughout Montgomery Public Schools.
We are asking our Dannelly families, faculty, staff, and community members to come out and support this wonderful event. Stop by, make a donation, volunteer for an hour, or simply come out and show your Bulldog Pride!
Volunteers will help distribute flyers, accept donations, assist patrons, and box donated items. We are also seeking volunteers who can assist with delivering donated items to Grace Community Church at 2:30 p.m. following the event.
And there will be plenty of MPS spirit! 🎶📣 The JAG Band and BTW Cheerleaders will be joining us to bring energy and excitement throughout the event.
We are anticipating the BIGGEST Stuff the Truck yet, and we want Dannelly Elementary to show up in a BIG way!
Thank you for your continued support of our students, teachers, and school. We look forward to seeing you Saturday!
