Davis Weekly:
Our Primary Parent News
December 6, 2013
Dear Parents,
December is certainly an exciting time for Primary Students! We are capturing that excitement and putting
nd
it to good use in learning about the rich heritage we enjoy here at Davis! Each day our 2 Grade
Students lead our school in “15 Days of Celebrations,” highlighting traditions observed by families in our
Davis Primary Community. They share customs from as far away as Japan, Poland, Israel, Africa, and
England to those as close as Mexico and Canada during our morning announcements.
As a way to encourage “Hallway Best,” our students then hunt daily for the highlighted country’s holiday
symbol as they pass through the hallways on their way to lunch, music, art, and P.E. The catch is, they
must be exhibiting “Hallway Best” when they find that symbol to count it for the challenge. It is amazing
how quietly our students can traverse our hallways when “on the hunt!”
Ask your student where they found the wooden shoes from Holland or the mistletoe from France.
Loving our students’ excitement for learning and sharing!
Denise Liechty
WITH MUCH GRATITUDE . . .
Our staff sends heartfelt thoughts of thanksgiving to our PTO and the many parents who contributed to

our conferences! Thanks to all!!!!
