Hey, Wildcats! My name is Danielle Glymph, and I am so excited to join the second grade team at LME! I am originally from West Virginia but have called Newberry County home for the past 24 years. I am a graduate of Mid-Carolina High School. I earned my Bachelors in Elementary Education from Newberry College and my Masters in Education from Columbia College. I have spent the last 8 years teaching at Newberry Middle School. I am very excited to start my ninth year teaching on "the mountain".
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband, Ashley, and I live in Prosperity with our son Gabe. We enjoy going to the lake, hanging out by the pool, playing with our 2 spoiled dogs Nala and Jasper, and most importantly just spending time making memories together.
I am looking forward to a great year at LME and cannot wait to get to know my amazing 2nd grade Wildcats! I look forward to making lasting memories as we learn, grow and become lifelong leaders.

20-21 SDNC Opening Options
20-21 SDNC Calendar
Parents of students in the School District of Newberry County are asked to complete one questionnaire per child to determine how they would like their child to return to school for the 2020-2021 school year. Option 1 allows parents the choice of sending their child to school on a Hybrid schedule – meeting in person 2 days per week and eLearning 3 days per week. Option 2 is for parents who wish to have their child participate in the Newberry ONE Institute for eLearning, a completely online option for a semester at a time.
The questionnaire can be found at https://bit.ly/SDNCLearningPref and must be submitted prior to midnight on July 28, 2020.
Yearbook Distribution
The Student Environmental Education Coalition (SEEC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a commitment to improving environmental literacy and a board composed of students from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Durham. SEEC is now in its 8th year of hosting NatureWay, a free, annual summer camp where K-5 kids have the opportunity to learn about topics relevant to environmental science, climate change, and sustainability.
In lieu of our in-person camp traditionally held at the Chapel Hill Public Library, this year we will be holding a series of online video education sessions via Zoom from July 20th-24th, July 27th-31st, and August 3rd-7th. There will be topics taught by our high school and college counselors every day of the week, ranging from renewable energy, to ecology, to water pollution, and more! The calls each day will run from 2:00pm-3:30pm EST and 4:00pm-5:00pm EST. Because of this format, we do not have restrictions on the number of campers or their locations, so we would like to extend this opportunity to students outside of the Chapel Hill area.
More information about this program can be found at https://www.ncseec.org/natureway2020. The link to register for NatureWay is: tinyurl.com/natureway2020.
