Three Jordan School District educators have been selected as winners in Western Governors University’s (WGU) “Fund My Classroom” initiative, receiving nearly $1,000 in specialized tools and equipment. Out of more than 650 submissions nationwide, teachers from Aspen Elementary, Mountain Shadows Elementary, and Majestic Elementary Arts Academy were recognized for their innovative approaches to student engagement. The program is designed to support K-12 educators by providing the necessary materials to expand curricula.
Melissa Coats at Mountain Shadows Elementary received phonics-aligned decodable books to improve reading fluency, while Angus Douglas at Majestic Elementary Arts Academy acquired resources for hands-on STEAM experiences, and Aspen Elementary’s Haley McCall received sensory room materials.
These awards highlight the dedication of JSD teachers in creating supportive and effective learning environments for their students.
