Virtual Reality at Danville High School
Donors of the Danville Public School
Foundation in partnership with the
Iroquois Federal Foundation, recently
funded a classroom set of Virtual Reality
viewers and support equipment for
Danville High School teacher Tyler
Overstreet. The viewers, along with
using the Google Expeditions app, a vir-
tual reality tool, allows Mr. Overstreet to
lead immersive virtual trips all over the
world, get up close with historical land-
marks, and even visit outer space.
Using the viewers, Mr. Overstreet acts as
a “guide” leading his classroom of
“explorers” through collections of 360°
and 3D images while pointing out inter-
esting sights along the way.
As a history teacher, Mr. Overstreet has
already taken his students back to
experience America’s depression era.
Our donors make a difference!

365 Club Breakfast Celebrates Successes
The Danville Public School Founda-
tion’s 2019, 365 Club Breakfast was
a chance for our donors to celebrate
the Foundation’s successes.
The Julius W. Hegeler II Foundation
was again our title sponsor.
Our donors arrived January 17 at
Turtle Run Banquet Center and
enjoyed an early morning breakfast.
Executive Director Bob Richard
thanked those in attendance for the
support of “their” Foundation. It was
through our donors’ efforts that the
School Foundation was able to
provide $86,000 last year in funding
for various projects in support of the
Foundation’s mission of providing
enhanced educational opportunities.
The morning’s program highlighted
three projects that were funded by
the Foundation.
Mr. Tanner DeLaurier, Administrative
Intern from South View Upper
Elementary School, and sixth-grade
student, Addyson Gritton, presented
about the My Life Online school-wide
assembly conducted in October.
Addyson explained she learned the
importance of posting only things that
are true, kind and represents herself
in a positive manner.
From Mark Denman Elementary
School teacher Mrs. Sara Warren,
along with fourth-grade students
Adreanna Hill, Samuel Sanchez, and
Anna York, shared information about
their field trip to the Museum of
Science and Industry in Chicago.
This joint venture between the Foun-
dation and Danville School District
118 allowed all fourth-grade students
an opportunity to tour the museum
and participate in a Crime Scene In-
vestigation Learning Lab. Students
were told of a “crime” and were pro-
vided clues. Using scientific meth-
ods, they had to determine who com-
mitted the “crime.”
To end the morning, Danville High
School History teacher Mr. Tyler
Overstreet and Danville High School
junior Morgan Mourer explained to
our guests about the classroom set of
virtual reality googles provided by the
Foundation. (See story on page 1)
To all 365 Club members, thank you
for making a difference everyday!
The mission of the Danville Public School Foundation is to
promote, aid and encourage enhanced educational
opportunities for the students of Danville Public Schools
beyond those provided by tax dollars.

Page 4
The Danville Public School Founda-
tion is honored to sponsor the
Danville District 118 Fine Arts Show-
case on April 27 at Danville High
School.
Approximately 700-800 students will
participate in the Fine Arts Showcase
displaying their art work in an art
galley format and/or performing
music in a concert setting.
The Fine Arts Showcase is open to
the public and admission is free.
Brian Klett, band director at North
Ridge Middle School, applied for a
Classroom Grant to help fund this
initiative and will coordinate the event.
Included in the grant award are funds
to cover the expenses of “Artist in
Residence,” Joan Creamer. Ms.
Creamer will be visiting with 300 art
students prior to the Showcase. After
graduation from the Cleveland Insti-
tute of Art, Ms. Creamer became
General Motors first female exterior
designer. She then designed for Gen-
eral Electric before beginning her own
business of product design.
The Foundation wishes much
success to the student artists!

Garfield Elementary Students to Perform with
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra
Mr. Joseph Legg, music teacher at Garfield
Elementary School, requested a Classroom
Grant from the Danville Public School Founda-
tion to purchase recorders, a woodwind instru-
ment, for his students who will be performing
with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in May.
A select group of 40 third- and fourth-grade
students from Garfield Elementary have been
selected to perform with the St. Louis Sympho-
ny Orchestra as part of the symphony’s
children's concert series.
The symphony requires a specific recorder for
the children to participate and the School
Foundation was happy to award a grant to
purchase the recorders from Danville’s own
B & J Music.
We wish all the students good luck in this
wonderful learning opportunity.
