It's a Q and U wedding party in Kindergarten! This was a special ceremony because q and u are always together in words. Students took part as the q(bride) and u(groom), as well as the groomsmen and bridesmaids and Principal Steffen was our officiant! They also had a reception after the wedding! Thanks to our creative Kindergarten staff, q and u will hopefully be remembered together forever!

What better way to get feedback than to ask the young students, right here at Davis County Schools!? On Monday, our Creative Writing students visited kindergarten and second grade classrooms to read children's books which they have been working on for the past few weeks. The high school students read to several small groups of students and asked for feedback from their listeners. Sharing their stories with the younger students allowed them to put the finishing touches on their project. Through our Creative Writing course, students write poems, short stories, plays, news stories, comic strips, children's books, an autobiography and other types of writing that express creativity.
