⚡️ Electrical Safety Fun for K–3! ⚡️
Today our K–3 students had a special visit from SSVEC’s “Outlet” and “Toaster” as they brought an engaging electrical safety presentation to our campus! 👏
Students learned important safety lessons in a fun and memorable way, including how to identify electrical hazards in the home, the dangers of mixing water and electricity, fire hazards, and what to do if a downed power line or pole is ever seen.
SSVEC’s safety program is designed to help children understand that most electrical accidents can be prevented when they know what to look for and how to stay safe.
A big thank you to SSVEC for making safety education so interactive—and unforgettable—for our youngest learners! ⚡️🍞🔌

Thursday marked our final home baseball game of the season as the St. David Tigers hosted the Patagonia Lobos—and it was Senior Night!
We proudly honored our senior players, Jaxson Brogan, Cedar Haynie, Adrian Nuernberger, Chase Pacheco and Cayden Richins, who have shown outstanding dedication, leadership, and commitment throughout their time in St. David baseball. From early practices to long games, they have represented St. David with heart, effort, and pride.
Senior Night is a chance to celebrate not only their time on the field, but also the lasting memories, growth, and friendships they’ve built as teammates, competitors, and young leaders. We are incredibly proud of each of you as you close this chapter and step into your future.
The Tigers went on to deliver a dominant 15–0 victory over Patagonia—an outstanding way to honor our seniors in their final home appearance.
Congratulations to our seniors, and great work, Tigers! 🐅

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.
