We are proud to celebrate two outstanding seniors who have committed to continuing their academic and athletic journeys at the next level!
🏈 Isaac Wilson has committed to Azusa Pacific University, where he will play football on the defensive line.

He plans to defer enrollment for two years to serve a mission for his church before joining the program.
🥎 Austyn Hatch has committed to Arizona Western College, where she will compete as a catcher and shortstop. Austyn shared:
“I’m so excited to announce that I’ve committed to continue my academic and athletic career at Arizona Western College! Thank you to my family, coaches, and teammates for supporting me every step of the way. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait for what’s ahead. Go Matadors!”

Mrs. Chic’s Chicks Have Arrived! 🐣After three weeks of excitement and hands-on learning, Mrs. Ciccariello’s 4th grade class has officially welcomed their newly hatched chicks! Throughout this project, students explored the chicken life cycle, from eggs to fluffy hatchlings, observing each stage with curiosity and care.
The classroom was filled with anticipation as students candled eggs, tracked development, and patiently waited for hatch day. Watching the chicks break out of their shells was an unforgettable moment that brought science to life right before their eyes.
We’re so proud of our young scientists for their dedication and enthusiasm.

Due to a temporary staffing shortage in our transportation department, we will need to combine afternoon bus routes on Wednesday, April 15, and Thursday, April 16.
As a result, some students may experience longer ride times than usual. If you prefer to make alternate transportation arrangements for your child on these days, please contact Ricquelle Wilson at rwilson@stdavid.org.
We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience and flexibility.
Creativity on display! 📚🎨After reading the Ray Bradbury novel, Fahrenheit 451, our high school ELA students took learning to the next level with an “Altered Book Project.” Students selected a book or song, analyzed its theme and literary elements, and then brought those ideas to life through artistic book transformations—paired with a written analysis of their work.
The finished projects were incredible, and we loved seeing so many students and staff stop by to view the display!
Amazing work by our students and a big shout-out to Mrs. Smith for creating such a meaningful, multidisciplinary project!
