🥅✨ What an awesome day with the Ogden Mustangs! We had a blast at recess playing games with some of our favorite hockey players — and the fun didn’t stop there! The Mustangs joined us in the classroom for reading and math games, bringing tons of energy, smiles, and encouragement. 📚 We’re so grateful for their visit and for showing our students what teamwork and community spirit look like both on and off the ice! 🙌 💥 Save the Date! 💥 Join us for Spirit Night with the Ogden Mustangs on January 24th at the Ice Sheet in Ogden. Puck drop at 7:00 PM — wear your school colors and come cheer on the Mustangs! 🏒🎉 More information coming soon! @davisschooldistrict @laytonelentaryschool @ogdenmustangs

🔥🚒 What an exciting day for our 1st graders! A huge THANK YOU to the amazing Layton City Fire Department for stopping by to teach us all about fire safety and what to do in an emergency! 🧯 Our students loved seeing the fire truck up close and learning how firefighters help keep our community safe. We’re so grateful for our local heroes — and for making learning so much fun! #FireSafety #CommunityHelpers #FutureFirefighters #LaytonCityFireDepartment @davisschooldistrict @laytonelementaryschool

Way to go, little learners! Keep soaring! 💙🦅 @laytonelementaryschool @davisschooldistrict
