Representatives from the District and the Murdock Family Foundation stopped by this week with some exciting news! 🎉

Mrs. Campbell and her fourth graders are among the highest-growth fourth grade classes in the entire Davis School District on their reading growth measures! 📈✨

An incredible 84% of her students made typical or above progress. That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident. It reflects strong teaching, supportive families, and students who are rising to the challenge every single day.

We are so proud of Mrs. Campbell and our amazing fourth graders! 👏💙 Way to go, Pelicans!
