America is turning 250 — and our students have something to say.
Davis School District is hosting Voices of a Nation: Student Perspectives on 250 Years of America, a districtwide speaking event aligned with America 250 Utah.
Students from every school and grade level are invited to apply to deliver an original speech about America’s past, present or future.
Selected students will receive mentorship and take the stage on May 4, 2026, at the Davis Instructional Services Center in Layton. The event will be professionally produced and live streamed for the community.
You don’t have to be famous to have something worth saying.
Take the mic. Share your idea. Be part of the story.

What a wonderful success our Cereal Drive was, thanks to all our amazing Eagles! We hit our school-wide goal of 700 boxes and with our partnership with Lee's Marketplace, Associated Foods and General Mills, we were able to donate a grand total of 1,628 boxes to the Center for Hope Food Pantry. Congratulations to Mrs. Okleberry's class for collecting 151 boxes and earning Breakfast with the Principal!
The second graders have been studying Early Asian Civilization. which covers India and China. For the final activity they made Dias (out of clay) which are lights used in the Diwali celebration. Mrs. Gibson, our STEM teacher, showed the students how to write in Chinese (Mandarin) using the characters that school age children are taught. She did a great job sharing her talents and supplies, which included a writing board and a calligraphy paint brush. The students used water on the boards and followed the design to learn simple words. At the end of the activity the kids all said that their hands and arms were tired!
Thank you for your generous donation!
