The blue-eyed Danielle Thomason, 9th, talks often, likes to play too much, and is comfortable around her closest friends.

Danielle and Ariel Jakub, 9th, met at Kimmons when Ariel was lost on her first day.

“Ariel is my best friend because she is always here for me and never leaves my side,” Danielle said.

Ariel has a fun memory of Danielle.

“The first time going to her house is my favorite memory because we planned ahead of time, and I was anxious to hang out outside of school,” Ariel said.

Danielle has a twin brother named Dakota.

“We have different personalities from original twins,” Danielle said.

Danielle’s grandma influenced her to be good and tells Danielle she loves her every day.

“I still go see my grandma,” Danielle said. “I’m the only girl in the family.”

Danielle’s favorite book series is Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russell because it talks about things that happened to her.

Mrs. Holland is the teacher who impacted Danielle the most.

“Mrs. Holland helps me out with everything,” Danielle said. “I’m glad I had her.”
