Jordan Education Foundation Takes Students Holiday Shopping with “Christmas for Kids”
It was a magical day for some teens in Jordan School District as the Jordan Education Foundation hosted the “Christmas for Kids” event.
Students who might otherwise receive little this holiday season teamed up with volunteer chaperones for a $175 shopping trip at Walmart in South Jordan. Chaperones helped the students find the items on their shopping list while creating a positive and supportive environment. Santa, community leaders, local firefighters, and police officers also joined the fun and helped spread the holiday cheer.
Community contributions and local business donations to the Jordan Education Foundation make “Christmas for Kids” possible every year.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to make this year’s “Christmas for Kids” a success for everyone involved!
West Jordan Firefighters and Police Come to the Rescue Helping Santa Take Care of Kids in Need
A caravan of West Jordan City firefighters and police officers brought holiday cheer and excitement to three Jordan School District schools. The departments teamed up with Walmart to bring the gift of warm winter clothing and brand-new shoes to students from Majestic Elementary Arts Academy, Columbia, and Heatland Elementary Schools, who might otherwise go without this Christmas season. Santa Claus was on hand to greet students who helped the first responders accept the gifts for the school.
Thank you, West Jordan City firefighters, police, and Walmart, for helping students have a brighter and warmer holiday season.
Copper Hills Students Give Back to Community with “PAWS for a Cause”
The Grizzlies at Copper Hills High School launched their annual “PAWS for a Cause” holiday giving campaign. The kickoff assembly featured performances from the Copper Hills band, dance company, orchestra, madrigals, and more. In the weeks leading up to the holiday break, Copper Hills students will help their community in various ways, including raising money, donating their time to service projects, and giving blood to ARUP.
Money raised during “PAWS for a Cause” goes to Copper Hills High School and West Jordan City families in need. In previous years, the funds raised have purchased holiday gifts, covered funeral costs, assisted with medical bills, and impacted the lives of elementary students in Jordan School District.
Great job CHHS students! Here’s to a festive and impactful holiday season!
Majestic Elementary Arts Academy Celebrated the 67th Day of School: 6-7 Style!
The enthusiastic and creative staff at Majestic Elementary Arts Academy went above and beyond to create a memorable day for students to celebrate the 67th day of school, building activities and decorating the building with the slang term 6-7. To kick off the festivities, the school offered free hot cocoa and coffee, which the student council distributed to parents during drop-off.
Staff wore fun outfits highlighting the numbers 6 and 7 and hid 67 gingerbread men around the school for students to find in a hunt. Principal Marianne Johansen even got in on the fun, dressing up as her alter ego, Skittles the Rapper, and went from class to class performing an epic 6-7 rap for students.
Way to go Majestic Elementary Arts Academy staff who have made the past 67 days engaging and fun for students. There are only 113 more to go in the school year. Keep up the great work!
