Every year during the holiday season, students throughout Jordan School District give back to their communities by raising money for charitable causes and families in need. They not only give money, but spend countless hours finding unique ways to fundraise in hopes of making the lives of others a little better.
Thank you to all the students and staff who are dedicated to this charitable work.
Last year our high schools raised a combined $646,242.79 for their charities, simply incredible!
Here is a list of the 2023 charities for each high school this holiday season.
- Mountain Ridge High School: For the Kids – Buying Meal Kits
- West Jordan High School: Little Lambs Foundation for Kids
- Bingham High School: Make-A-Wish and NixonStrong Foundation
- Riverton High School: The Sharing Place
- Copper Hills High School: Make-A-Wish and local families in need
- Bingham High School: The Single Parent Project
Members of the Herriman High School Latinos in Action led the Pledge of Allegiance at last night’s Board of Education meeting and celebrated their culture with a beautiful poem written by Darianna Faria, a Herriman High student. The poem expressed support for all students, encouraging those who have immigrated to the United States to never forget where they came from and to strive for a better world where all seek to understand one another. The poem went on to say all students who have immigrated from another country should be allowed to achieve their hopes and dreams.
