Students at Rose Creek Elementary are glowing with school pride. By exhibiting great behavior in school and living the school values, classes can earn trips to the “Glow Room.” The room is decked out for a party, complete with blacklights, decorations, highlighters, games, and fun music.

Showing behavior that represents the school values of R.O.A.R. (Respect, Own your actions, Act safely, Ready to learn), students earn tallies that add up to tickets to a party. The fun has led to students filling up their class “ROAR” boards with great behavior as fast as possible to get back to the glow room for some more fun.

Special guests from Brazil joined students in Ms. Mueller’s Portuguese dual language immersion class at Bluffdale Elementary School. The group of Brazilian students stopped by during their trip to Utah to share their culture and experiences growing up in a Portuguese-speaking country. They even brought some of their favorite candies and treats all the way from South America. Bluffdale students showcased what a day in an American school is like, bringing their new friends to lunch, English class, and recess to learn how to play American football. 

Thank you to everyone who helped bring two groups of students from across the globe together for an enriching cultural exchange for all involved.

In December, students at South Jordan Middle School banded together for spirit days and a holiday fundraiser to support Primary Children’s Hospital. The student body combined to raise over $2600 for Primary Children’s and unlocked some fun rewards in the process. Student body officers were pied in the face, but the grand finale was a sliming of the administration. SBO’s concocted a thick, cold, and blue slime that they poured on Mr. Jenson, Ms. Erickson, and Mr. Rambadt during lunch to celebrate raising funds for a great cause.

Well done on a great holiday fundraiser, South Jordan Middle!
