Holiday Magic at Creekside, Wasatch and Antelope!
The halls of Creekside, Wasatch and Antelope Elementary Schools were filled with smiles, laughter, and pure excitement as kindergarten students were surprised with a special gift — a brand-new pair of shoes!
After hearing the heartwarming story of The Elves and the Shoemaker, the students couldn’t contain their joy as the sound of sleigh bells signaled the arrival of their wrapped gifts. The look on their faces as they opened their presents and tried on their new shoes was absolutely priceless!
Each child’s face lit up with excitement as they discovered their new shoes, ensuring they’ll be ready for the winter season ahead. It was a day full of warmth, community spirit and gratitude — the true essence of the holidays.
Thank you to all our community partners who helped make this special moment possible!

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.

Sunset Junior High’s Dollar Wars week was a HUGE success, raising $16,568.24 for various causes such as Sub for Santa Teen Center and other needs as identified by the school's Counseling Center.
From Lottery Day to Shave It or Save It, students got creative and competitive, making every day a fun challenge. Highlights included Doubles Day, where donations were worth double points, and Golden Ticket Day, where $1 = 2 raffle tickets!
The biggest moment? Three brave basketball players volunteered to shave their heads— and they all went through with it! The boys even joined the cheerleaders for a dance at the assembly to keep the energy high.
We couldn’t be more proud of the Sunset community for raising an incredible amount in just one week!
We’re excited to share the outstanding results of Farmington High School's National Honor Society Chapter's recent food drive.
Thanks to the generosity of our students, staff and community, they raised an impressive 4,584 pounds of food for the Bountiful Community Food Pantry – beating last year’s total by over 100 pounds!
A special shoutout to Michael Erickson, whose students alone contributed an incredible 1,775 cans.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make this effort such a success.

The Davis Connect SBOs held a fundraiser to collect pantry donations to help out Northridge High School's Teen Center.
The officers have been using the Northridge High School's space to film their biweekly announcement videos while their building is under construction and to thank them and to do some good for kids in our community, they used their Fall Festival to collect items from a list of needs.
With a small student population, the Davis Connect officers were still able to collect 2 wagons full of items to add to the NHS pantry.
Today we celebrate National Special Education Day. We honor the dedication of our teachers, staff and students who make learning accessible for all.
