Happy Friday Davis Families!
I hope this note finds you all doing well. Thanks to everyone that supported the book fair this week. We will have it open on Monday as well since we lost a day on Wednesday due to the weather.
Congratulations to our Power of the Pen team who brought home a ton of hardware from their competition last weekend!
Good luck to all of our Irish athletes competing this weekend in the Mean Green wrestling tournament and basketball tournament games. Go Irish!

Davis CommUNITY Fest
Davis Middle School is hosting Family CommUNITY Fest on Thursday February 16th, 2023 from 5-7p. Davis students, families, and local businesses are invited to the school to share elements of who they are through storytelling, food, dance, arts and many other things that make each person or group unique. There will be food to sample, art projects to complete, music to listen to and stories to enjoy. We hope you and your family will join us!
Lunch Accounts
We have quite a few students that have accumulated a negative balance in their lunch account this year. We do not deny any student a lunch, so if they come through the line and do not have money on their account, they are charged for the lunch. Please make sure to take a look at your student's account to see if money needs to be added. If you need to fill out a free/reduced lunch application, it can be accessed at the link below. If you do not want your student to get a lunch in the cafeteria, you can have an alert added to their account you can contact Sybil Bell from Sodexo at (614) 718-8315 or sybil.bell@sodexo.com.
