Nadine and Jim
Jones, Arma, Ks.
Steve and Susan Cole definately did something right in their
upbringing of their daughter Danielle "Danni." A Junior at Northeast
High School in Arma, Danni has been nominated for our "Kid of the Week"
by Nadine and Jim Jones, friends of the family. Mrs. Jones had many
nice
things to say about Danielle, but probably the thing that stands out
most
is the fact that Danni always has a smile on her face. She is a sweet,
friendly young lady who is always happy and has a way of bringing joy
to
those around her.
Danni keeps extremely busy, keeping her grades high enough to be a
member of the NEHS National Honor Society. Other activities include the
Jolly Sunflower 4-H Club, NEHS Spanish Club, where she serves as
Vice President, volleyball, basketball, softball and NEHS Jazz Band.
Danni's father Steve is Pastor of the Arma United Methodist Church
where she is also extremely active. During a recent holiday drive for
the needy, an enormous amount of clothing was donated. Danni and
Charlotte Culbertson picked up the ball and organized the clothing,
making the entire event run much smoother.
Additionally, she has had the opportunity to accompany her parents on
mission trips to different countries and has enjoyed the chance to
serve in this capacity.
In addition to school and church, Danni works at Chicken Mary's and is
a lifeguard at Arma Swimming Pool during the summer.
Danni has a younger brother, Ben. She and her family have lived in Arma
for about seven years.
A special young lady, Danielle Cole is a bright spot in any situation
she happens to be in. We are proud to honor her as this week's "Kid of
the Week".
