Dainelle Campfield - School Resource Officer

From Melissa Morrison:
“Danielle is a school resource officer in Mtn Home. She serves at the kindergarten and
the middle school. She serves as an excellent example for the community. Just a tiny bit
about her: she is a cheer coach, K9 officer, and a (great) dancer. She really is wonderful.
She will show up for her teachers and students at the drop of a hat, and she will give her
perspective to ensure all bases are covered. She is fiercely loyal and incredibly
dependent. In case you can't tell, I hold her in high regard!”
