The school stands as a monument to the history of the community and the growth of Layton. THE BRICK school house was begun about 1900 as a two room building. It was used by the families living nearby to teach children in grades one through eight., At the time Layton Elementary was fitat built, many other small, one 7 school buildings or were located in different sections of Layton Dawson, at two-roo- Five Points; the Nalder School (near the corner of Antelope Drive and Fairfield Rd); a school built on Nalder property near the intersection of Fairfield Road and Rainbow Drive; a school built on Antelope Drive near where Harris Dairy stands today; and a school located at 1424 West Gentile (the present home of Mrs. Delila Flint). These schools were all proud of this gym. It was one first to be built into an of the elementary school or any public building. The gym was used by the community and by local churches as well as the school. Up until the early 1920s, Layton Elementary School had outside toilets and a sta- ble for the teachers and students horses. Regular Retail Price Doors Open BEFORE THE small one and two room school houses were abandoned, students from these schools would travel to Layton Elementary to complete the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Those who went beyond the eighth grade had to travel to Ogden to attend high school. Later, Davis High was built in Kaysville. Transportation had to be provided by the parents or by the students.

In the 1920s, additions were made to the front of the building including an office and addi- tance may have been up to three miles one way. Occasionally, a child might be fortunate enough to catch a ride on a beet pulp wagon coming from the sugar factory or a tomato slop wagon coming from Woods Cross Cannery. Students also rode to school in milk wagons that hauled milk from farms to the creamery and then to Salt Lake City or Ogden by tram. Often, an older student would drive the milk wagon to the creamery and then keep the wagon and horses at school until the close of the day. , In a major addition, the first in many years, was made to the school building.

Prior to the building of this cafeteria was a startling increase in student enrollment at the school. This was caused by population growth at Hill AFB and the Naval Supply Depot began hiring people. LATYON Elementary, like nearly all Davis County schools, had to make a drastic change to accommodate the increased enrollment until new schools could be constructed. The methods used to supply classrooms and teachers dur- ing the 40s and 50s were interesting. First, the gym was partitioned by curtains into four classrooms. based on only one day of not two, even teaching though two classes were taught daily. In some classrooms, two teachers occupied one room with 50 or more pupils placed in a standing room only situation.
