@foxboroel PTA Arts Night was a magical celebration of the arts.
From visual art bugs inspired by master artists to musical performances and a wax museum of famous Americans, our students showcased their talents in every way possible.
Parents and teachers joined in with art shows, drama games and even a clay and origami station.
It was an unforgettable night of creativity and joy for all involved.
Davis School District has made an impressive showing at Best of State. The district has captured 13 Best of State awards, surpassing all other districts in Utah. These prestigious honors will be officially presented at the Best of State Gala on May 24, hosted at Salt Palace Convention Center.
Foxboro Elementary fifth grade students learned about the history of the U.S. Constitution in class and used their knowledge to prepare music and a reader's theater about the writing of the Constitution.
The reader's theater was based on the book titled "Unite or Die" written by Jacqueline Jules with songs like The Star-Spangled Banner, Yankee Doodle and We the People (with the text of the Preamble).
Students shared their learning with their parents at an evening performance followed by an assembly the next day. One of the more memorable songs was titled "Mighty United" with lyrics and music written by Teresa Jennings.

Davis High's juniors were in for a treat as they dove headfirst into a thought-provoking assembly on #civilrights. Three dynamic speakers took the stage, urging these young minds not just to learn from history but to actively shape the future narrative.
With U.S. History classes covering civil rights, Angie Leedy knew her students needed a fresh perspective. Greensboro, NC history teacher, Bridgett Wiley, who shared her first-hand experiences growing up in the South. Her insights offered invaluable insight into the ongoing struggle for progress.
But it wasn't just words—Harold DeHorney added a musical dimension, transporting the audience to the heart of the era. Finally, Brigham Young University professor Chris Crowe shared how he researched his book "Getting Away With Murder - The Truth About The Emmett Till Case."
In the end, students were left with the message: knowing history isn't enough; it's about using that knowledge to forge a brighter tomorrow.
