Back in 2016, you may have been too busy playing Pokémon Go to look up from your phone and see the opening of Kay’s Creek Elementary. Somehow, it's already been 10 years. Time flies.
To celebrate the milestone, 700 students gathered to form the number 10 for a commemorative photo. The image reflects this year's theme, "10 Years. One Team. Infinite Impact!"
A huge shoutout goes to Principal Janice Bukey, who spent countless hours planning every student's placement before expertly organizing the entire photo on the big day.
Bukey says the absolute best part of the school community is the powerful partnership between dedicated educators, engaged families and ambitious students. Together, they have created a school community where every child is encouraged to grow and succeed.
As Kay’s Creek celebrates its first decade, the school is looking ahead to the next 10 years with a continued commitment to strong community connections, student success, innovation and kindness.

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.
