Great Minds – People, Places and Performances

Great Minds is a curriculum-based enrichment program that enables students to experience an enhanced education by providing resources to take students to area learning centers as well as bring experts into the classroom. Great Minds provides a living example of what is being taught.

Know as our enhancement programming, students have enjoyed field trip experiences such as:

• Kindergarten – Niabi Zoo
• 1st Grade – Davenport Junior Theatre 
• 1st Grade – Ballet Quad Cities “Dance Me a Story”
• 2nd Grade – Vander Veer Park 
• 3rd Grade – Adler Theatre with Ballet Quad Cities and Orchestra Iowa for “The Nutcracker”
• 4th Grade – Putnam Museum
• 5th Grade – Figge Museum, River Music Experience
• 6th Grade – Public Works Watershed Tour 

In addition to the Great Minds enrichment program, we also offer district-wide Innovative Grants to teachers and classrooms.

All these programs and more have been made possible by donations received from individuals and organizations as well as from the sale of Major Saver cards.  Thank you for your support and for helping make a difference in the lives of children throughout the Davenport Community School District.
