The beginning of this week marked the start of our Jump Rope unit. Each year, as we are jumping rope in PE, we as a school also participate in Jump Rope for Heart (JRFH). JRFH is a program run by the American Heart Association. Your child should have brought an envelope home sometime over the last couple days. Please read over the information, and help your child raise money. All money raised will go straight to the American Heart Association's fight against heart disease!!
Last year Davis Elementary raised just under $10,000 for the American Heart Association. This year our goal is to get above $14,000!! I know it is a monster goal, but I know it can be done!!
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask!!
Thank you for your support!!

And to top it all off...the 3rd- 5th graders actually created their own dances! That was quite a treat.

I think the best part of our dance unit was our end of the unit "Sock Hop!" It was awesome. The students had an absolute blast! Parents...you should be commended on this as well- your children were super well behaved! The DJ told us after it was all over, "This group is the most well behaved group of kids I have ever worked with!" That is incredible. The kids really represented Davis well!
I do have to give special thanks to Mr. Romeo and his entertainment company- Contagious Entertainment. If any of you are ever in need of a DJ please give him a ring! He really went above and beyond to make this even the success that it was!! Click here to check out his web site!
Thanks again, Romeo!!
