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. After a campus visit earlier this year and a strong recommendation from his coaches, Isaac earned this opportunity through his hard work and dedication. 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!”

Please join us in congratulating Isaac and Austyn on this exciting next chapter. Your hard work has paid off, and we can’t wait to see all you accomplish!

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.

What a fantastic Opening Night for our school’s production of The Lion King Musical! 🌅🦁The Lansing Auditorium was packed on Wednesday evening as our talented cast took the stage and truly shined. From start to finish, the energy, music, and performances captivated the audience.

Crowd favorites Timon and Pumbaa, played by Mark Bryant and Cooper Monroe, brought laughter and heart to the show, while Georgiana Brown dazzled with an incredible performance as Rafiki. Every member of the main cast delivered strong, confident performances and sang beautifully throughout the night.

We are especially proud of the many supporting roles that helped bring this production to life—including our elementary students, who charmed the audience as animals, lionesses, and dancers.

A heartfelt thank you to our community sponsors for their generous financial support: Pioneer Title Agency, The Lakes at St. David, Hone's Benson Fuel, 4 Evr Ranch, Benson Dental and the St. David Heritage Society. Your contributions make experiences like this possible for our students.

This amazing production is directed by the amazing Ron Higginbotham and produced by Brian Brown, with support from our dedicated student lighting and sound crew.

Don’t miss your chance to see the show! Join us Saturday for two final performances at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

2:30 PM Routes (Grades K–2): These routes will run mostly as usual; however, students will be transported in a white van instead of a bus.

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.

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!

A huge shoutout to StuGo officers Jordan Parker and Aaron Edington, who emceed the night flawlessly, and to Mrs. Smith, our Student Government Advisor, for making it all happen behind the scenes. Special thanks to the Higginbothams and Mr. Brown for lighting, sound, and the choir special that gave us a sneak peek of our upcoming Lion King musical!

👏 We also want to thank our wonderful judges—Miss Ciccariello, Mr. Posey, Mr. Hunt, Ms. Barbie, and Mr. Wilson—for their time, energy, and support in making the night such a success!

🏆 Winners of the Night:
1️⃣ Maria Higginbotham – ballet performance of Ma Belle Evangeline
2️⃣ Mr. Hart & Emma – singing and harmonica to Piano Man
3️⃣ Jade Savage & Marian Shumaker – singing Wondering

It was heartwarming to see so many community members come out to support our performers, and the energy in the room was amazing. This fundraiser not only showcased talent but also helped StuGo with their cause.

👏 Thank you to everyone who participated, attended, or cheered from afar! We can’t wait to make this an annual tradition!
