Family Update

Happy Friday, Davis Families!

We had such a great week at Davis! It is always so much fun to see the school spirit in high gear during spirit week. We capped it off with our first pep rally this afternoon. The students (and staff 😁) did great at competing for their Irish Period and cheering on their classmates. What an awesome way to end October!

If you have a winter athlete, please see below for an important update in the athletics section. Also, just a reminder that we do not have school on Tuesday for voting day.

Have a great weekend!

Go Irish!
