Congratulations to Davis Connect's first international graduate!

When Amalie Vachtova came to Davis School District as a foreign exchange student from the Czech Republic during her junior year at Davis High School, she was just a few classes away from earning her high school diploma.

Amalie enrolled at Davis Connect to complete her graduation requirements. Despite the challenges of learning new technology and navigating a language barrier, she remained determined and successfully earned her diploma.

This past May, Amalie celebrated this milestone with her family at the Davis Connect graduation ceremony, becoming the school's first international student to graduate.

Congratulations, Amalie! Your perseverance and dedication are an inspiration. We wish you all the best in the future.

Traditions run deep at Windridge Elementary. This year, not only did current sixth graders enjoy the school's annual medieval feast, but graduating seniors who missed the tradition during COVID-19 were invited back to celebrate with former teachers and classmates. It's a reminder that once you're a Windridge Wolf, you're always a Windridge Wolf.

The Davis School District Board of Education recently traveled throughout the district to visit several Career and Technical Education construction projects, including the new CTE buildings at Clearfield High School and Bountiful High School as well as the Catalyst Center Phase 2 expansion.

The tour focused on how CTE programs are growing to meet industry demand and how these new learning spaces will provide students with relevant, hands-on opportunities that reflect the needs of their communities. Each facility is being designed with programs that align with high-demand career pathways and workforce needs.

Board members toured classrooms and lab spaces, asked questions and discussed the progress of each project with district Facilities and Career and Technical Education leaders. Members of the Superintendency also joined the tour.

We’re excited to see these innovative spaces taking shape and the opportunities they will create for students across Davis School District.

Summer reading is in full swing at Creekside Elementary, where nearly 50 people, including students, siblings and parents, visit the library each week to check out books and enjoy a hands-on craft or activity.

The program supports the Davis Reads 45 Days of Summer challenge, encouraging students to read at least 45 days during the break. For every five days of reading, students earn a 3D-printed book charm. Those who collect all nine charms will be invited to a special activity after school begins.

"I love exploring different perspectives and adventures through a good book," librarian Cindy Twede said.

Creekside Elementary encourages people everywhere to read during the summer. The act of reading helps keep students' minds active, reduces the "summer slide" and builds lifelong habits of learning, It is also a chance for students to choose books they enjoy and discover that reading can be fun.

The summer reading program will wrap up with a Read-a-thon Luau on Aug. 6. Families are invited to celebrate a summer filled with books, reading and learning.
