Principal Message Week of November 20, 2022
Hello Davis Drive Elementary families,
Only a few days until Thanksgiving Break. I hope you all have a wonderful time with your family and friends over this holiday. I am thankful for your children each and every day. Not a day goes by that they do not bring a smile to my face :)
Thank you to the many people who have filled out the gratitude form since last week. If you have not done so, please take a few minutes to express your gratitude to our amazing staff. Your words of appreciation make a great impact on our school culture and climate. I will compile all responses and share them with the staff on November 22nd before they leave for the break. Thank you!
