Nan Gray Davis Elementary

Nan Gray Davis Elementary Nan Gray Davis School was organized in 1965. It is named in honor of Miss Nan Gray Davis. In 1921, she came to teach at Theodore High School. W.

Miss Davis began her career as an elementary teacher in Escambia County. In introducing her to the faculty, Principal F. Breitling, with whom Miss Davis had previously taught, made this prophetic remark, "For serveral years we have had quite a turn over in teacher personnel, but now I think we have a teacher who will stick". And "stick" she did for thirty-five years. When Miss Davis retired in 195

8, she continued her passion for teaching, always finding a child to coach, the maid or yardman with an educational problem, a Sunday School class in need of a teacher, or someone upon whom she could bestow the blessing of her teaching. After she was stricken with a heart attack, she taught lessons of patience, courage, hope and faith to those who ministered unto her. The gentle soul of Miss Nan Gray Davis passed away on January 30, 1963. Miss Nan Gray Davis' influence and love of teaching and learning still lives on at Nan Gray Davis.

This week students from Dauphin Island, Burroughs, Meadowlake, Griggs, and Nan Gray Davis came together for the first week of our Literacy and Numeracy Camp!

Throughout the week, students have strengthened their skills in phonics, comprehension, problem solving, and much more. It has been exciting to see their enthusiasm for learning and the progress they are making each day.

A special thanks to our parents, students, teachers, staff, and building base coaches for helping to make this first week a success.

Beginning next week, students may wear school appropriate attire instead of uniforms.

We look forward to another great week of learning and growth!

Yesterday was our annual "Moving Up" Day at Nan Gray Davis. Students got an opportunity to spend some time with teachers from the next grade level so that they could experience what next year will be like. Students got to know their future teachers and learned the expectations of that grade level.
