Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Speech Contest!
This year marks the 21st anniversary of this districtwide tradition, where students share excerpts from Dr. King’s speeches and bring his message of courage, equality and hope to life on stage.
Our winners delivered powerful, thoughtful performances that honored Dr. King’s legacy and highlighted the importance of belonging, service and community in our schools. Their voices continue to remind us of the strength, heart and leadership found in Davis School District.
Winter illness can disrupt routines, and parents make the best decisions for their children. If your student is sick, please keep them home.
Our teachers and staff will support them when they come back.
When students feel well enough to attend, we’re committed to keeping them healthy, safe and learning.
The market features pottery and other artwork from a host of Syracuse High students, as well as artisans from local businesses who have chosen to participate.
The market is a fundraiser for students to attend the annual Clay Con West Conference in St. George. The annual ceramics convention is for potters and ceramics artists and features mini-presentations, workshops, demonstrations and networking opportunities. The convention also funds scholarships for new artists through an art auction.
In a related note, the Yule Titan Market will also benefit local businesses which participate in it.
Students visited the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District, Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and North Davis Sewer District to learn how waste is processed, water is treated and resources are recycled and reused.
The experience gave students a firsthand look at the science and community planning that keep our region clean and sustainable. They were able to connect classroom learning to real-world processes, better understand their own impact on the environment and see how everyday choices contribute to conservation efforts.
Together, we can make a difference by learning more, showing support and promoting healthy living.

Ellison Park Elementary students recently had the opportunity to experience the sights, colors and traditions of Diwali during a school celebration organized by special education teacher Usha Mannepalli.
Originally from India, Mannepalli shared her culture and heritage with two special education classes through stories, art and festive decorations.
“Diwali means celebrating light, hope and new beginnings with family and friends,” Mannepalli said. “It reminds me to be grateful, spread kindness and let positivity shine over darkness.”
Mannepalli celebrated Diwali over five days filled with lights, sweets, family visits and fireworks. She brought that same spirit of joy and togetherness into her classroom, teaching students about the festival’s traditions—lighting diyas, creating rangoli designs and honoring the goddess Lakshmi for prosperity.
Usha was inspired to share Diwali to help students appreciate diversity and kindness.
“By learning about Diwali, students understand that celebrating different traditions brings our classroom community closer together,” Mannepalli said.
Observed by millions around the world, Diwali celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. The festival is recognized in several U.S. states and even celebrated annually at the White House—reflecting its growing importance as a symbol of cultural inclusion and unity.
November is Diabetes Awareness Month.
