Creativity, teamwork and a little pressure were all on the menu as students in Camie Sunderland’s Foods class at Farmington Jr High wrapped up the semester with their annual Iron Chef competition.

For the 7th period challenge, teams were given a secret ingredient—sliced carrots—and 30 minutes to create a dish worthy of the judges’ table. Student creations were evaluated on seven categories, including presentation, creativity, taste and degree of difficulty.

The competition serves as a culmination of the skills students have developed throughout the semester. “Everything that we've learned all year, it kind of creates a culminating experience for the students,” Sunderland said. Along the way, students learn kitchen safety, nutrition, communication and teamwork.

The results continue to impress. “Some of the best food I have ever tasted has come through the Iron Chef competitions,” Sunderland said. “It is incredible.”

This summer, students at Jennie P Stewart Elementary are taking “Reading Road Trips” across the United States as part of Davis School District’s Davis Reads 45 Days of Summer Reading Program. This week’s destination: Alaska!

Centerville Elementary students are off and running.

Every morning before school, members of the “100 Mile Club” gather at the starting line, chant their mantra and hit the ground running with as many laps around the field as possible. Their goal is simple: run 100 miles before the end of the school year.

The program helps students stay active, burn off extra energy and stay focused once they settle into the classroom.

When runners reach the 100-mile mark, they do not coast to the finish line. These track stars set new personal records and keep pushing the pace. Several students logged more than 200 and even 300 miles this school year.

The school encourages families to cheer on the runners and even jump into the race themselves.

Students at Buffalo Point Elementary recently collected more than 600 items during a goods drive to support Lantern House, a local homeless shelter.

Led by sixth-grade Student Council members and advisor Heidi Farner, the project helped students learn about needs in the community while giving back through service. School leaders said the drive gave students a meaningful opportunity to help others and make a difference beyond the classroom.

Nearly 400 junior high cheerleaders representing 17 junior high cheer teams across Davis School District came together at Horizon Junior High on June 4 for a high-energy Unity Cheer event focused on building connection, school pride and collaboration. One of the highlights of the morning included teams learning a shared halftime routine they’ll perform throughout the upcoming school year, creating a visible symbol of unity across schools.

Horizon cheer coach Jennifer Burt shared that seeing so many students come together with such positivity and excitement was an emotional and rewarding experience, and that the event wasn’t about competition, but about connection and helping students feel part of something bigger than their individual schools.

The event showcased the power of collaboration and the importance of fostering unity across the district, setting the tone for a school year centered on teamwork, inclusion and shared school spirit.

There is no offseason for student-athletes committed to improving their game. Davis School District recently hosted its first Student Athlete Leadership Training Conference, bringing athletes from all nine high schools together to learn about nutrition, injury prevention, recovery and leadership.

Keynote speaker Ben Kjar, a Viewmont High School graduate and star of the documentary "Standout," challenged students to set goals, stay disciplined and rely on their teammates, coaches, family and friends for support. The conference gave athletes and coaches new tools to succeed both on and off the field.

Woods Cross High School recently came together in an unforgettable way for this year’s Make-A-Wish Week Assembly, and the impact was incredible.

Students and staff rallied to support Chase, a 4-year-old with unique health challenges, raising over $6,000 to help make his dream trip come true; the most ever raised in school history!

From shaved and bleached hair to leg waxing and heartfelt moments (yes, there were tears), the energy in the gym was electric. As Chase rode through the crowd in his Lightning McQueen wheelchair, the love, compassion and unity from the Wildcat community were truly inspiring.

This assembly was a powerful reminder of what can happen when a school comes together with purpose.
