On Tuesday, December 23, the entire student body and staff of Denmark Elementary School (DES) gathered in the gymnasium for a special holiday send-off.

This year, The Denmark News is introducing a new, multi-part extended series focussing on the rich history of our community.

Throughout 2025, readers could find a number of articles about one of the community’s newest organizations–Denmark Connects.

This holiday season, students at Denmark Elementary School (DES) once again had the chance to get all of their Christmas shopping done in their own school.

Students could peruse the items, find great gifts for their loved ones and learn about concepts like pricing and spending money.
