A strong school community takes all of us.
Adelaide Elementary welcomed employees from the Utah Department of Public Safety for a morning of help and support, as 118 DPS employees volunteered at nine elementary schools across Utah as part of their annual service project.
At Adelaide, their visit was an opportunity to step into the school community, lend a hand and show appreciation for the educators who dedicate so much to students each day.
When community partners step up to support our schools, it makes a difference. Thank you to the Utah Department of Public Safety for investing your time and service in our students, educators and school communities.

Remembering loved ones, sharing stories and celebrating the traditions that bring us together.

We are grateful for the teachers who make space for these experiences and for the families and students who share their traditions with their school communities. Every story, every memory and every tradition adds something meaningful to the places we learn and grow together.

Each month, one student from each school is invited to Soup with the Supt., a special opportunity to be recognized by their principal for the difference they make in their school community.
These students may stand out in the classroom, through activities or simply in the way they show up for others. What they have in common is the positive impact they make in the everyday moments that often happen behind the scenes — moments that help classmates feel welcome, supported and connected.
Congratulations to our October honorees! Thank you for helping make your schools stronger places to learn and belong.

How can educators learn from one another to create better opportunities for students?

The visit included conversations with district and school leaders, a tour of Farmington High School, a student and teacher panel at the Davis Catalyst Center and classroom visits at Sunburst Elementary. Throughout the day, visiting educators asked questions and exchanged ideas with the people who make these programs possible.
As educators learn from one another, they can discover new ways to help students develop real-world skills, explore their interests and prepare for the future.

Learning traffic safety!
Our Davis Head Start preschoolers practiced safely crossing the road, using a pretend road on the playground. The preschoolers dressed up in costumes such as traffic lights, race cars, fire trucks, school buses, police cars and props.
We take all of our students’ safety seriously. Even if it’s as little as dressing up and playing Red Light, Green Light to learn the importance of crossing the street diligently.

Samantha Sinsabaugh found out in April 2025 she had Aveolar ryabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer that develops in skeletal muscles. Worldwide 253 kids get this type of cancer each year.
She was kind, brave, courageous, humble, intelligent and empathetic towards others. She also loved to learn. Though she enjoyed going to school and participating in school events, she also enjoyed writing poetry and loved to read.
When they discovered the lump on Samantha’s pinky no one knew what it was. She was referred to three doctors: a pediatrician, a dermatologist and finally to an orthopedic hand surgeon to figure out it was a fatty lymphoma.
She underwent surgery in March 2025.
A month after the surgery, they discovered she had the rare type of cancer.
She was not predisposed to get it. It’s also not genetic. It just happened. Samantha fought long and hard and went into remission for four months. On the day of her last chemo in February 2026 (her day to ring the bell), they found another lump.
She fought bravely until the bitter end. Samantha passed away August 15, 2026.
Samantha loved her school and her teachers. This year would have been Samantha’s senior year at Northridge High School. She dreamed of receiving her diploma, attending Weber State University and becoming a hospice nurse.
Samantha’s journey is an inspiration to our students. Whether you already know your plan for after high school or still figuring it out, there are so many opportunities ahead of you. Seniors, think of Samantha as you continue through this year and carry her courage with you.

Davis High School’s LIA helped our furry friends!
Davis High Latinos In Action (LIA) visited the Davis County Animal Care Center. LIA learned about the dedicated staff and discovered various volunteer roles plus the procedures used to track animals and connect them to a forever home.
