There were baskets, smiles, cheers, and money raised at Herriman High School as Copper Mountain and Mountain Creek Middle Schools met up for a charity basketball game. Copper Mountain donated funds raised from ticket sales and concessions during the annual hardwood face-off to the Utah Food Bank and the Jordan Education Foundation. Mountain Creek donated their proceeds to The Giving Grinch.

The Copper Mountain choir performed the Star-Spangled Banner, and the dance companies for both schools supplied the halftime entertainment. Mountain Creek prevailed on the court, but everyone was a winner after a fun community night for some great causes.

Welding students at JATC South have been working hard to make holiday gifts and decorations using the skills they have learned in the advanced welding class. The students have been building small metal Christmas trees, angels, and gift boxes for the last several weeks, which they are selling to raise funds to send students to the Welding SkillsUSA Competition this spring.

If you would like to support the program by taking home one of these festive holiday gifts, place an online order. Remember to take your receipt to JATC South during school hours to pick up your items. Supplies are limited.

Midas Creek Elementary was filled with festive cheer as the school’s talented choir and band held their annual holiday performance! Students, teachers, and staff gathered to enjoy a wonderful concert featuring a selection of fun holiday tunes. The band consists of 50 members from five different elementary schools, and the choir is made up of Midas Creek Elementary School students in first through sixth grade.

It was a beautiful way to celebrate the holiday season and showcase the talented students of Midas Creek Elementary.

The community at Oquirrh Hills Middle School filled the hallways with fun, games, and treats all for a good cause at Family Fun Night. The indoor carnival is part of the school’s “OquirrhFest” holiday giving campaign. Proceeds from the event and all of Oquirrhfest fundraising benefits SADS (Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes) Foundation, which aims to save lives and support children, adults, and families affected by genetic heart conditions that predispose them to sudden death due to arrhythmias.

Games and activities were around every corner in the school as students, families, and friends could participate in a robotics course, play elf slingshot, pin the nose on the reindeer, check out some student art, or join a Kpop dance party in the library. Treats like ice cream, baked goods, and even some elf spaghetti satisfied the holiday sweet tooths in attendance.

Great job Oquirrh Hills students, staff, and volunteers on a wonderful night out supporting a worthy cause.
