Holt Elementary School recently turned magical as a cast of more than 60 students performed in the musical Mary Poppins Jr.
Directed by Cindy Szymanski, David Bateman and Anna Davis, parents and community members watched as young thespians mirrored Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke and sang out “A Spoonful of Sugar,” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee” and “Let’s Go Fly a Kite.” With costumes and props provided by Mueller Park Junior High School and a cast of behind-the-scene supporters who built, painted and moved sets, designed t-shirts, worked soundboards and illuminated the stage, the production was “Practically Perfect!”
Happy National Teacher Day. To every Davis teacher—thank you for inspiring, leading and making a difference every day. #ThankATeacher #Every1DSD

Aerospace futures are taking flight.
Congratulations to the 36 Davis School District students who graduated from the Utah Aerospace Pathways (UAP) program — the largest group of graduates from any district this year.
Held at Viewmont High, this year’s UAP graduation celebrated students from across Utah who completed hands-on training to earn their UAP Certificate of Recognition and begin careers in one of the state’s most exciting industries.
The UAP program is a statewide partnership between education, industry and government that gives students the opportunity to train for high-skill, high-paying jobs in aerospace — from composite technicians and machinists to inspectors and assemblers.
Davis School District is proud to partner in this program alongside organizations like Albany Engineered Composites, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Hexcel, KIHOMAC, Davis Technical College, Utah Manufacturers Association and many more.
The spotlight is on our talented students this week.
From mesmerizing music performances to stunning visual art displays, it’s a celebration of creativity in Davis School District. Don’t miss your chance to support our rising stars as they shine on stage and in galleries across the district.

Money doesn’t matter, time keeps ticking, someone’s on your mind. If you’re a deployed military parent, that someone is probably your children. Life without your family can be tough, that’s why it’s important to soak up every opportunity you get with them.
Service men from the U.S. Air Force and Army were given a mission. Report to Island View Elementary for recess. Upon arrival, use whatever means necessary to entertain the children.
Soccer balls were kicked, ropes were climbed and weird spiny things were spun. It was complete success; the children were happy and the tough guys were out of breath.
Most of the men on the playground are fathers to children at Island View. For those without military connections, understanding what our service men and women do for a living might be a little confusing.
“Kids that grow up with a military parent, they maybe understand it a little bit more, seeing their parents leave, seeing their parents come back, seeing the things that their parents do,” United States Army Reserve First Lieutenant Justin Knowles said. “Just being able to have other children that don't have that experience, being able to get exposure to military service members in the community, and just understand that we're here to support them is really what we do."
The Knowles family knows about sacrifice. After being away for a six month training operation, the First Lieutenant recently returned and reflected on missing important moments in his children’s lives.
“Being gone, missing birthdays, anniversaries, sporting events, school recitals, you miss all those things as a military parent when you're away,” Knowles said.
Knowles believes being gone is more difficult for his children than for his wife and himself. He admits there is no better feeling than having your children jump into your arms at the airport upon returning home.
Davis School District is proud to educate the children of U.S. Armed Forces. Simple pleasures like recess are why they sacrifice. It’s as true today as it ever was. After chasing sunsets, one of life’s simple joys is playing with the boys.
Join us this Friday by wearing purple to honor these incredible kids. Let’s Purple Up and celebrate their strength and resilience.
Taylor Elementary's incredible Student Council set a goal to collect enough items to create 75 hygiene kits for the Bountiful Food Pantry.
Students were able to build 106 complete kits—exceeding the goal thanks to the generosity of our amazing students and families.
To celebrate, students got into some messy fun. Several teachers and administrators were pied in the face during an outdoor celebration.

Sunset Elementary recently welcomed families into the school for a night full of creativity, collaboration and hands-on learning for their Celebration of Learning.
Each station was focused around the school’s identity—including this year’s fun Mario-inspired theme—with activities designed to spark curiosity and showcase student growth.
Older students stepped up to help younger ones code and download custom designs, while families worked side by side, encouraging one another along the way.
The music room was a big hit, where students created rhythms using real instruments.
From folk dancing like Irish Stew and Rakes of Mallow to student-made crafts and writing displays, the night ended in a joyful celebration of learning, creativity and school spirit.
