This summer, we're sharing some of the programs, traditions and experiences that help make Davis School District schools unique.
Today we're featuring Hill Field Elementary.
One of Hill Field Elementary's favorite traditions happens each December. After reading "The Elves and the Shoemaker," kindergarten students discover a specially wrapped gift waiting just for them—a new pair of shoes donated through a partnership with America First Credit Union. It's a tradition that teaches kindness, generosity and the power of community.

Lights, Camera… Community in Action!
Last night’s Davis Education Foundation Gala brought the community together for an unforgettable evening of connection and giving. With 100+ auction items, from curated gift baskets to standout items like a bright pink bike, guests mingled, bid and made a meaningful impact.
More than 500 attendees showed up to support students and classrooms across Davis School District, all while enjoying a full night of food, fun and even a private movie experience to close it out.
One night. One community. A lasting impact.


Students at Buffalo Point Elementary recently collected more than 600 items during a goods drive to support Lantern House, a local homeless shelter.
Led by sixth-grade Student Council members and advisor Heidi Farner, the project helped students learn about needs in the community while giving back through service. School leaders said the drive gave students a meaningful opportunity to help others and make a difference beyond the classroom.

Nearly 400 junior high cheerleaders representing 17 junior high cheer teams across Davis School District came together at Horizon Junior High on June 4 for a high-energy Unity Cheer event focused on building connection, school pride and collaboration. One of the highlights of the morning included teams learning a shared halftime routine they’ll perform throughout the upcoming school year, creating a visible symbol of unity across schools.
Horizon cheer coach Jennifer Burt shared that seeing so many students come together with such positivity and excitement was an emotional and rewarding experience, and that the event wasn’t about competition, but about connection and helping students feel part of something bigger than their individual schools.
The event showcased the power of collaboration and the importance of fostering unity across the district, setting the tone for a school year centered on teamwork, inclusion and shared school spirit.

Woods Cross High School recently came together in an unforgettable way for this year’s Make-A-Wish Wish Week Assembly, and the impact was incredible.
Students and staff rallied to support Chase, a 4-year-old with unique health challenges, raising over $6,000 to help make his dream trip come true; the most ever raised in school history!
From shaved and bleached hair to leg waxing and heartfelt moments (yes, there were tears), the energy in the gym was electric. As Chase rode through the crowd in his Lightning McQueen wheelchair, the love, compassion and unity from the Wildcat community were truly inspiring.
This assembly was a powerful reminder of what can happen when a school comes together with purpose.

Mountain High School’s annual Student Car Show once again brought together students, staff, families and community partners to celebrate creativity, craftsmanship and school pride.
Now in its sixth year, the event highlights everything from simple upgrades and daily drivers to fully customized builds, giving students a chance to showcase the time, effort and passion they’ve put into their vehicles.
Created by English and marketing teacher Kayla Kaiser, the car show began as a way to give students a platform to share their interest in vehicles in a meaningful, structured environment.
“It’s just cool to give them the opportunity to show off something they worked hard on,” Kaiser shared.

Students from across the district gathered at the Farmington Sportsplex for the annual Elementary Decathlon, a fitness event focused on health, teamwork and inclusion.
Since 2011, fourth through sixth graders have trained in PE classes for this culminating event, competing in 10 physical challenges that test strength, speed, coordination, and endurance.
Events include push-ups, curl-ups, jump rope, shuttle run, cup stacking, dribbling, broad jump and more, showcasing both individual growth and team effort.
The goal goes beyond competition: building lifelong healthy habits and supporting the “whole child” through physical, mental, and social wellness.
Organizers also highlighted the unified sports component, allowing students of all abilities to compete together and strengthen inclusion across schools.
“We treat PE just like any other classroom,” said program director Tim Best. “It’s a vital part of supporting the whole child.”
A great day of energy, effort and school pride!

Taylor and Meadowbrook elementary schools recently hosted an attendance challenge that stretched over six weeks.
With similar student bodies and similar mascot, the two schools challenged students to attend and enjoy school. Along the way students got rewards for milestones such as popsicles, fake mustaches, extra recess, popcorn parties and even pie in an administrator’s face.
In the end the classes with the most earned miles received a trophy. Students will keep the trophy in their classes and can even carry it to lunch if they desire.
