Over 400 students and 200 parents, school personnel and community members will gather together to mark the celebratory groundbreaking of the new site of Davidson Elementary School, 3915 E. Ft. Lowell Rd., at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25 at the site located on Kleindale east of Alvernon. 

Ten students will “break ground” with gold shovels. The event will also include the presentation of a time capsule, ringing of the school’s historic bell, and a performance by the school’s band and orchestra. Brief speeches will be given by former TUSD Board member and Davidson alumni Mary Belle McCorkle, TUSD Superintendent Roger Pfeuffer, and TUSD Governing Board President Bruce Burke. 

The new school building is a collaborative effort between TUSD and Summit Development Group. The design was developed by Burns Wald-Hopkins Architects with Concord Companies providing the construction management. The new school building will replace the current facility which opened in 1914. The new school is slated to open during the 2005-2006 school year.
