“Roots and Wings” Prepares Native American Students for Life After High School
The Jordan Native American Program hosted “Roots & Wings: Preparing Native Youth for What’s Next.” More than a dozen local business leaders attended, representing a diverse array of industries, including welding, education, healthcare, and law, to network and offer advice to the youth in attendance. Herriman High School counselor Ashley Heaton presented information on scholarships and financial aid available for those looking to continue their education. Local colleges were on hand to provide resources and information about their schools.
Thank you to everyone who attended and donated their time, talents, and expertise to benefit Native American students in Jordan School District.
Mountain Shadows Staff and Students Have Fun Naming School Mascot
They are making memories and history at Mountain Shadows Elementary with their school mascot. Their mascot, the mountain lion cub, never had a name and really needed one. So, Principal Eardley went to work, first sending out possible names for adults in the building to consider. After narrowing the list down to just four, it was students who voted and sealed the deal on a name.
The name students selected for their mountain lion mascot, SHADOW! Principal Eardley revealed the name at a schoolwide assembly saying Shadow always follows the school’s four big rules of being Respectful, Safe, Responsible, and Kind.
Welcome, Shadow, to Jordan School District and your home, Mountain Shadows Elementary School!

Fries With a Firefighter Benefits Jordan District Schools
Firefighters from Jordan Local 4624 firehouse spent their night at Culver’s in West Jordan, serving up good food, all for a good cause. A portion of all proceeds during “Fries with a Firefighter” at Culver’s were donated to the Jordan Education Foundation to pay off overdue lunch balances at West Jordan’s three Title I schools: Columbia Elementary, Heartland Elementary, and Majestic Elementary. As a bonus, along with their burger, fries, and donation, customers could meet their local firefighters and get an up-close look at a fire truck.
Thank you, West Jordan Fire, for your support of the students in our community!
