Utah PTA Honors Bingham High School’s Momma Jo for Starting Kindness Movement

It was a day to recognize and honor someone known in the halls of Bingham High as Momma Jo. For years, Jolynne Ward has been a fixture in finding the good and sharing it among students and staff.

Now Momma Jo is being honored by the Utah PTA as a “Forces for Good” award winner for starting the “Golden Gate” movement. Jolynne started the very first Golden Gate Club at Bingham High School out of a desire to spread smiles among students and provide opportunities for them to connect with peers and school.

As part of the PTA “Forces for Good” award, Jolynne was recognized for her efforts which have moved countless others, changing people long after the initial impact.

Congratulations, Momma Jo! Keep up the great works spreading smiles and changing lives.

Thank you, Utah PTA, for recognizing positive people doing good work impacting students, teachers and staff in our schools.
