Hello Davis Duck Families,
The overwhelming support from our community for our school has been truly remarkable this past week, highlighted by the incredible success and fun of our Boots and Bling Gala. It was a true team effort, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, purchased or donated items, and contributed to the event's success. A special thank you to the entire Foundation Board for organizing the Gala!
Kindness Week has also been amazing! Our PALs did a fantastic job with "Piecing Together a Kinder World." Wednesday’s community dance party was filled with smiles, laughter, and lots of dancing. Thank you, PALs, for bringing so much joy to our campus!
Today, we had the honor of welcoming Brent Poppen for inspiring assemblies and student meet-and-greets. His powerful message focused on antibullying, believing in your dreams, and overcoming adversity. I encourage you to join us after Flag Deck tomorrow for a special parent assembly — I think you'll find his message truly impactful.
I also wanted to share a great tip from last week’s Raising a Responsible Digital Citizen parent training put on by our Educational Technology team. If you missed it or would like to revisit the content, you can access the presentation here. I hope you find some helpful tips to support your children at home. One resource I consistently use with my own kids is Common Sense Media. Whenever they ask to watch a movie, download a game, or try a new app, they know I’ll check Common Sense Media first.
It’s a fantastic tool for reviewing appropriate age recommendations, positive messages, role models, and even parent and child reviews. While some resources now require a membership fee, many helpful guides and tips are still available for free.
Thank you for helping us spread kindness and stay informed at Davis!
Go Ducks!
