The entire Wilson Elementary community, including the school’s PTA and staff members, collaborated during the week of the Mississippi Valley Fair to provide parking for patrons attending the event. All of the proceeds raised are going back to the students at Wilson, and the school wanted to express thanks to fair-goers by saying “We are extremely grateful to everyone who donated their time to staff this event and to all of the fair goers who utilized this service. Thank you for helping all of our students SOAR here at Wilson Elementary School!”
Wood Intermediate School recently held its annual “Jump Academy” event to welcome this year’s incoming 6th graders. During the orientation, students were given a tour of the halls, classrooms, cafeteria, and library; they learned about their daily schedule; and they practiced new daily tasks such as opening up their lockers. WQAD featured Wood’s Jump Academy with an article and video starring a couple new 6th graders. Enjoy the news piece here! https://wqad.com/2018/08/01/sixth-graders-take-over-wood-intermediate/
Approximately one-hundred K-5 Jefferson Elementary School students participated in 5 1/2 weeks of learning and fun this summer through our first year of Camp Re-Imagine, held at the school. At the camp, students participated in activities such as coding, using a 3-D printer, planting a butterfly garden, building bookcases, writing a book for incoming pre-K students, and constructing a vehicle and deciding how to power it to navigate an obstacle course. The pilot program, developed by Davenport Community Schools and the Mississippi Bend Area Education Association, was designed not only to help stem summer learning loss, but also to engage students to the extent that they would make gains in their learning over the summer. Data on student learning was collected and will be studied to guide decisions about future camps.
Please enjoy the following “look back” video that features members of the Class of 2018 as they recall their experiences at Davenport Community Schools, memories of inspirational teachers, and their plans for the future. We are extremely proud of all our graduates, and we wish them the best as they begin their lives after high school!
