The Copper Hills and West Jordan High School bands proudly marched in the annual Days of ‘47 Parade. The annual tradition celebrates the arrival of the pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and is one of the oldest parades in the country.
Thousands of spectators lined the streets in downtown Salt Lake City to watch the floats, bands, and other entertainment. Congratulations, Copper Hills and West Jordan! Great job representing Jordan School District.
Every Wednesday over summer break, you can find the Oakcrest Elementary School staff building bonds, strengthening their bodies, and finding adventure. Under the leadership of the school’s wellness coordinator, Tracey Davies, educators and staff members regularly slip on hiking boots to explore scenic trails across the Wasatch Front.
Dubbed “Wellness Wednesdays,” the initiative encourages the staff to step away from their school and connect outdoors. The group’s outings have taken them across a wide variety of local terrain, from Farmington Creek Waterfall Trail to Stewart Falls near Sundance. Beyond promoting physical health and stress reduction, the shared outdoor challenges have fostered team building and coworker connections.
The Oakcrest Hiking Club shows no signs of slowing down, proving that for these educators, building a supportive school culture is a journey best taken one hike at a time.
