(Le Mars) — A teacher’s associate at Franklin Elementary School was honored Monday morning as the School District’s “Employee of the Month”. Danelle Bolton was in tears when school officials entered her classroom and she quickly realized she was being honored. Bolton’s parents, brother, and sister Julie Roy, along with her husband, were all on hand for the award presentation, and Danelle’s daughters were able to join the ceremony through video zoom. School Foundation board member Deb Ahlers read the nomination that was submitted by Benji Kasel and Kayla Koopman.
Bolton has been with the Le Mars Community school district for nine years. Among her entire family including her parents, brother, and sister Julie Roy, the former Spanish teacher for Le Mars Community, and her daughters there are 185 years of collective education teaching within the family.
