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. #TaylorElementary #StudentLeadership #ServiceProject #BountifulFoodPantry #KidsCanLead #Every1DSD

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. #SunsetElementary #Every1DSD #HandsOnLearning #ArtsInEducation #BTSArts #FolkDanceFun #StudentShowcase

Students in Mr. Bell’s Social Studies class at Layton High School recently had the opportunity to hear directly from Utah Senate President Stuart Adams during a visit focused on government, civic engagement and the legislative process. President Adams spoke about the importance of understanding that we live in a republic form of government and encouraged students to become active participants in their communities. He shared practical ways to get involved—like getting to know elected representatives, offering help and staying informed. During class, they took part in a hands-on simulation of the legislative process by electing a president of the senate, a governor and a monitor. The rest of the students acted as members of the Utah State Senate, proposing and debating mock bills on topics ranging from school start times to new infrastructure ideas. "I'm very impressed with the debate," Adams said. "It was not unlike what we have on the Senate Floor, your future is bright." #DavisSchoolDistrict #LaytonHigh #CivicEducation #UtahLegislature #StudentLearning #RealWorldConnections

Muir Elementary’s Annual Career Fair was an absolute hit! Students had a great time exploring a wide range of careers right here in our community. Professionals from many fields set up fun, interactive booths in the gym, giving students the chance to ask questions and dive into the different career worlds. Students got to meet with their School Resource Officer, chat with a members of the South Davis Fire Department and even learn what it’s like to be a car designer. The Baker let everyone decorate their own cookies, while a business owner in the shoe industry shared the ins and outs of running a business. Students also discovered how voting works, heard from a nurse and learned about EEG Monitoring. There was a semi truck driver, a representative from Hill Air Force Base and an interior designer all sharing their cool careers. Plus, Salt Lake Community College and Snow College were there, talking about the exciting opportunities in higher education! It was a day filled with curiosity, creativity and tons of fun. The students were buzzing with excitement, inspired by all the amazing professionals who took the time to share their careers.

Each year, fourth through sixth graders compete in the school’s Spanish Spelling Bee, reinforcing their language skills and expanding their vocabulary. “Most of the students in the immersion classes participate, and it gives them a chance to learn more about the language they’re studying,” said Canyon Creek Spanish Teacher Sandra Valdajos. “They not only learn new words and their meanings but also gain a better grasp of grammar rules and exceptions.” Students prepare by studying word lists at home and practicing with Spanish teachers and interns at school. “It’s a community commitment—everyone is involved,” Valdajos said. This year, 21 students competed at the school level, with sixth graders Liam Nielson, Cora Holbrook and Clara Ellsworth advancing to the Weber State competition. To qualify, students must first advance through classroom and school-wide competitions. Each school is allowed to send three representatives. Valdajos encouraged future participants to study past word lists and focus on difficult grammar concepts. “They should pay close attention to grammatical rules and tricky areas like words containing the letter ‘h,’ since it’s silent in Spanish,” she said. The three finalists will now prepare to compete against other top spellers from across the state.

Fairfield Junior High college and career awareness students explore careers at Hill Aerospace Museum! Over 300 students got an inside look at various careers at Hill Air Force Base during their visit to the Hill Aerospace Museum. From meeting Tennison, the robot dog to trying on hazmat suits and holding a large bullet, this hands-on experience brought career exploration to life. Students rotated through 11 interactive stations where they learned about everything from firefighting to Air Force squadrons—and yes, even tasted protein crickets. This exciting day gave students the chance to see real-life roles in action, meet passionate Airmen and dream big about their futures. #CareerExploration #HillAerospaceMuseum #FutureLeaders #DavisSchoolDistrict #Every1DSD

We would like to congratulate Zach for placing 3rd in the SkillsUSA CNC Machining Competition! Zach, along with Zac, participated in this challenging competition after spending the school year learning to program, set and run CNC Mills and Lathes. Both students also completed certifications through the Titans of CNC Machining Academy to prepare. During the competition, students were given a 3D model and had to program and run a CNC machine to create a part from raw material. They also completed a written test, job interview and part inspection— all within a 6-hour time limit. We are incredibly proud of Zach and Zac for their dedication and hard work! #SkillsUSA #CNCMachining #FutureTechnicians #ProudKnights #NorthridgeKnights #DavisSchoolDistrict #CTE #CareerAndTechnicalEducation #Machining #SkillsUSAState #HardWorkPaysOff #NHSAdmin #NHS #NorthridgeHigh

Throughout Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the incredible women in our district who inspire us every day. Today, we are proud to spotlight Elizabeth Jensen, an Administrative Intern at King Elementary School. Jensen's inspiration comes from the women in her family, especially her maternal grandmother and mother. Her grandmother, born in 1901, broke barriers by becoming a nurse despite facing ostracization from her family. Jensen's mother, a pioneering woman in law, graduated from the University of Utah’s law school in the 1960s and was one of only two women in her class. She went on to break more barriers as the 46th woman in Utah to pass the bar exam and the 23rd in Nevada. “My mother taught me that women are capable of incredible things and that we should never limit ourselves based on others' expectations," Jensen said. Jensen's journey wasn’t without challenges. She faced self-doubt in her academic abilities, even as an adult. “I often wondered if I was capable of academic success,” she said. “But I realized that my drive and willingness to work through my weaknesses were enough to achieve my goals." Being a woman in education leadership means a lot to Jensen. “I want to show students that women are strong, kind and capable of anything we choose,” she said. “Our ability to lead was historically not seen, but stepping out of the shadows sets an example for the next generation of leaders.” Jensen is passionate about empowering others to reach their full potential. “I work to grow my people, to see leadership and potential in them that they may not see in themselves,” she shared. “I encourage and support others, especially women, in pursuing advancements in their careers.” Her advice to young women aspiring to follow in her footsteps is clear. “We need you," Jensen said. "This world needs the strength and courage of young women who are willing to work towards bettering the lives of children. Don’t be afraid to lead because we need amazing women like you.” #WomensHistoryMonth #DavisSchoolDistrict #WomenInEducation #Leadership #EmpoweringWomen #Every1DSD
