Two times each school year, students are nominated for the A+B=C Award. The A, B and C in the award stands for Attitude, Basic Values and Character. While only up to three students from each building at Hahn Intermediate, Davison Middle School, Davison High School and Davison Alternative Education are selected as winners, it is truly an honor to even be nominated for the award. That is one reason Superintendent Matt Lobban attempts to visit each student who was nominated for the award to deliver them a certificate.

Central Elementary Principal Mrs. Melissa Williams found herself in a sticky situation after students surpassed the spring fundraiser goal of $10,000.

On Monday, Mrs. Williams made good on her promise to students that she would allow herself to be duct-taped to a wall if they met the goal. They did and then some, raising just more than $12,000.

On Monday, PTO board members Katie Dodds, President, Jenni Leask, Vice President, Annelies Kinzie, Treasurer and Sara Duncan, Secretary, began the process of taping Mrs. Williams to the wall as students entered the building. Once they were done with the taping, all classes came down to walk by and see their principal.

As the PTO members were taping Mrs. Williams, student Zev Makled said to his principal, "You look like a person that's ready to quit their job!"

Students who were the top fundraisers in the PTO's spring fundraiser Gates Stroll walkathon had the opportunity to cash in on their prizes this week.

Top fund raiser Max McConnell chose an Amazon gift card while Jude Deering took on the duties of serving as Principal for the Day with Mrs. Natalie Miller (and was even interviewed by DTV Teacher Mr. Randy Scott.) For her prize, student Alice Field chose to be the PE Teacher of the Day alongside Mr. Stephen Culbert.

Hahn Intermediate Success Coordinator Mr. Travis Rodgers put together this amazing video highlight Field Day at Hahn Intermediate. Click on the link below to view!

Security officer Janell Stokes took these photos of Davison Middle School students having fun during their Field Day event held earlier this month.

Students had a blast on the inflatable slides, at the dunk tank and foam party as well as taking part in the various games and activities that were planned and sponsored by the DMS PTO.

Davison Community Schools is proud to announce that 39 students from Davison Alternative Education graduated this school year. Here is a short video including pictures that were taken before commencement ceremonies were held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 12.

Thank you to our awesome bus drivers for the tremendous job they do every day to get our kids back and forth to school safely. Oftentimes our drivers are the first and last school staff members our students interact with each weekday and it is a responsibility they do not take lightly! We appreciate all of our drivers, monitors and transportation staff. Below is a picture of some of our drivers on the last day of school.

Davison students in grades preschool through 12 are eligible to participate in the Read to a Million 2024 Summer Reading Challenge through August 31.

Students can sign up using the link below.

Take a look at the new instrumental music area that is housed in the new Performing Arts Center. Our student musicians will have plenty of space in this classroom! There is also a temperature/humidity controlled room for the storage of band and orchestra instruments and lockers outside the classroom are constructed especially to house students' musical instruments.

A special thanks goes to the Davison Band and Orchestra Boosters for spending last Saturday cleaning out and moving items from the old band room.
