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.

Applications due March 18.

Stroll around the outside of the school to see our glowing classrooms and enjoy student-made art displayed in the windows, festive lights, hot chocolate, and popcorn.

Look at those smiles! 😄 As part of our school-wide initiative to encourage positive behavior, many students turned in their Gallop Tickets and earned an extra recess with school administration. Last week these excellent students enjoyed basketball, slides, hula-hoops, and more while spending fun time with Dr. Denhalter (Principal), Mrs. Petersen (Administrative Intern), and Officer Scott (School Resource Officer). 🏀🛝Well done, students, for modeling great choices—keep up the awesome behavior! Be Safe! Be Kind! Be Reliable!

When Mustangs gallop, they gallop with greatness!

🎒 Field trip highlight! ✨ Our 2nd graders brought learning to life by exploring the Natural History Museum of Utah. Students observed fossils, learned how glaciers sculpt landscapes, studied animal adaptations, explored weather vs. climate, and renewable energy in Utah. These activities connected core social studies and science standards with the real world. 🌄🦖🌱🌍

Thank you, Veterans! We’re so grateful for the service and sacrifice of men and women from all military branches.

It is almost time for our annual Veterans Day Assembly. Students have been working hard in their music class to sing patriotic songs to honor our veterans! We invite veterans who are close to students or staff from Taylor Elementary School to join us in person at the assembly, which will begin at 9:15 am on Tuesday, November 11. Please make sure to bring photo ID to come into the building.

We wish we had a room large enough to fit all our students and all of their families, but we don't. We will provide a YouTube live stream for families to have the opportunity to watch the assembly from home. The YouTube link will be posted here when it is available. Until then, subscribe to our official school YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@TaylorElementary-Official-p7x for notifications from YouTube.

Just poppin' in to say that we would be soda-lighted if you could donate your pop can tabs! 🥤Now through Friday, May 15, we are collecting pop can tabs (or soup can tabs, pet food can tabs - any aluminum tabs will do). These will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House in the spring. Collecting pop tabs can make a BIG difference! ♻️💖 By recycling these little aluminum gems, you’re helping Ronald McDonald House keep families close during tough times.
