Students at Copper Canyon Elementary School took a brief brain break to create some amazing crafts. Each grade spent 30 minutes in the cafeteria working on a craft project, ranging from hand puppets and foam stickers for younger students to birdhouses and wind chimes for older grades. The projects coincided with National Arts in Education Week, giving students a chance to be creative and bring something home that was handmade in school.
Pucker Up! Midas Creek Staff Kiss Pig for a Good Cause
Midas Creek Elementary School got up close and personal with a pig for a good cause. The school PTA has been hard at work fundraising and brought in Oreo, a Kunekune pig, to celebrate reaching a milestone. A teacher from each grade level and Principal Rossetti each took turns giving Oreo a smooch while the students cheered them on as a reward for the school’s fundraising efforts.
A big thank you to Oreo for dropping by Midas Creek and giving students (and the teachers!) a very memorable day at school.

West Hills Middle School Choir Members Are Hitting All the Right Notes!
The West Hills Middle School Choir, under the direction of Michael Draut delivered an enthusiastic performance of the National Anthem at a recent Utah Royals game. The students represented their school and Jordan School District with pride, making history as the largest performing group at the America First Field stadium all season.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support these talented performers. And, congratulations on a job well done, West Hills Middle School choir!
