Lights, Camera, CREATE! The Davis School District is shining a spotlight on creativity thanks to a fantastic partnership between DSD Community Schools and Beverley Taylor Sorenson (BTS) Arts. For one week, 14 After School Programs were lucky enough to have an artist in residence. Students learned the power of self-expression through theater with Elise Hansen and rocked out with music lessons from Katherine Fowles. But the fun doesn't stop there. Two separate weeks of drama camps were also funded by this amazing partnership, giving students a FREE chance to explore their dramatic side. This collaboration is all about making sure ALL students have access to the arts, regardless of background. By combining resources, we're helping kids develop their confidence, creativity and teamwork skills in a fun and engaging way. Thank you to Community Schools and BTS Arts for making this possible. We can't wait to see what future artistic adventures await our students.

The dog days of summer are here, literally. The Utah Highway Patrol took advantage of the empty halls of Farmington Jr. High to train their newest class of K9 troopers. The real-life paw patrol of Bo, Louie, Jax, Goose, and Rocky spent multiple days learning what it takes to be a UHP hero. These pups used school lockers, classrooms, and old clothing to test their skills.. Four of them will specialize in finding narcotics in St. George, Vernal, Nephi, and Summit County, while one will be stationed at the Utah State Capitol to sniff out explosive devices. Their training also includes parks and vehicles to ensure they're ready for anything, anytime. Becoming a UHP K9 is no walk in the park. These dogs train five days a week, ten-hour days, for ten weeks, all in the hopes of becoming invaluable assets in protecting the state of Utah. By June’s end, the five dogs hope to be sworn officers of the law.

Davis High School's final concert for the year was an absolute blast, and it's all thanks to the incredible reunion that happened on stage. Former Davis High School orchestra director, Richard Marsden, took the conductor's podium once again for a special performance of "The Stars & Stripes Forever." It was a magical blend of past and present, with former students joining to create a truly unforgettable experience. If you were part of Mr. Marsden's orchestra family, you'll understand the joy and nostalgia felt as past students played together once more.
