America is turning 250 — and our students have something to say.
Davis School District is hosting Voices of a Nation: Student Perspectives on 250 Years of America, a districtwide speaking event aligned with America 250 Utah.

Hello Cook Elementary Families-
We are nearing the end of our Tackle Hunger Food Drive. Our goal is to make 700 pantry packs for the Bountiful Food Pantry. The food donated benefits students throughout Davis County- including students from Cook Elementary! We are getting close to our goal but could still use your help! We will be extending the contest over the weekend. Items still needed are Easy Mac, granola bars, oatmeal packets, squeeze pouch applesauce, and cheese or peanut butter crackers. If you're having a difficult time finding Easy Mac in local stores, you can purchase it on Amazon. Cash donations are also accepted. We will wait until Wednesday to determine the winner of the pizza party. Thank you for your generous support in our efforts to Tackle Hunger!

Can I donate money and have it counted toward the contest?
YES- Each dollar donated will count as 1 item.
Can I still donate after the last day?
YES- The food drive officially ends on the 6th of February. However, student council will not be assembling the packs until the 20th.
