🎁 Vikings Give Shopping Day: A Heartwarming Success at Viewmont High! 🎁
Recently, Viewmont High School took part in one of the most heartwarming events of the season — Vikings Give Shopping Day! With over 175 student volunteers in attendance, the morning was filled with excitement, generosity and holiday spirit as students worked together to provide a special Christmas for 275 children from the Grandfamilies organization.
Thanks to the incredible support from Centerville Walmart, which graciously opened its doors early at 5:00 a.m. just for these volunteers, Viewmont students had the entire store to themselves as they shopped for gifts to fulfill the wish lists of the children they were paired with. From toys to clothing to essentials, each student carefully selected items to bring joy to their assigned child this holiday season. 🎁✨
As of Dec. 17, $58,000 had been raised through Vikings Give, and this shopping day was a pivotal moment. Vikings Give is also ensuring that 118 families will receive Christmas dinners, gas and grocery cards. Over 100 Viewmont students in need are taken care of, and support is given to the Valhalla Student Teen Center.
This event is just one of many initiatives that showcase the power of community and the true spirit of giving at Viewmont High.
A huge thank you to everyone involved for making this year’s Vikings Give such a success!

Third Grade teacher Kim Valencia at Antelope Elementary is spreading kindness with a special project. Each student is contributing to a "care package" for those in need. The bags included essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, snacks and a "sweet handwritten note from my kiddos," said Valencia.
These packages are meant to be kept in parents' cars and handed out to those experiencing homelessness or hardship. It's a simple way to show compassion and make a difference! ❤️

It’s better to give than to receive.
Kindergarten students at Layton Elementary experienced the magic of the season with an early holiday surprise. A youth group from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints brought joy and smiles by gifting each child an early Christmas present. This heartwarming “Sub for Santa” event is quickly becoming a cherished tradition for the group of 12- to 18-year-olds.
“It wasn’t us paying for everything; the kids brought their own money,” said Youth Leader Mark Baer. “You look around and see these youth engaging with the young kids, and it’s really fun.”
Each student unwrapped gifts of Play-Doh, books, hats and gloves, while goodie bags filled with small toys added even more festive cheer.
Although youth leaders considered trying new traditions—like ice skating—they quickly realized how much this event means to everyone involved. Their goal, keep spreading the spirit of giving and holiday magic for years to come.
The holidays aren’t over yet, and there’s still plenty of art shows and performances to enjoy in Davis School District!
From choir concerts to art shows, our students are finishing the year strong with creativity and talent.
See the graphics for the full list of events happening this week and come out to support our amazing young artists and musicians.
Let’s close out the season with music, art, and holiday cheer!
*The events listed are the ones that have been added to the Fine Arts Calendar. If you don't see your school and you know there is an event, post it in the comments!
