The Grizzlies at Copper Hills High School launched their annual “PAWS for a Cause” holiday giving campaign. The kickoff assembly featured performances from the Copper Hills band, dance company, orchestra, madrigals, and more. In the weeks leading up to the holiday break, Copper Hills students will help their community in various ways, including raising money, donating their time to service projects, and giving blood to ARUP.

Money raised during “PAWS for a Cause” goes to Copper Hills High School and West Jordan City families in need. In previous years, the funds raised have purchased holiday gifts, covered funeral costs, assisted with medical bills, and impacted the lives of elementary students in Jordan School District.

Great job CHHS students! Here’s to a festive and impactful holiday season!

The enthusiastic and creative staff at Majestic Elementary Arts Academy went above and beyond to create a memorable day for students to celebrate the 67th day of school, building activities and decorating the building with the slang term 6-7. To kick off the festivities, the school offered free hot cocoa and coffee, which the student council distributed to parents during drop-off.

Staff wore fun outfits highlighting the numbers 6 and 7 and hid 67 gingerbread men around the school for students to find in a hunt. Principal Marianne Johansen even got in on the fun, dressing up as her alter ego, Skittles the Rapper, and went from class to class performing an epic 6-7 rap for students.

Way to go Majestic Elementary Arts Academy staff who have made the past 67 days engaging and fun for students. There are only 113 more to go in the school year. Keep up the great work!

Jordan Virtual Learning Academy schools, Rocky Peak Elementary, Kelsey Peak Middle, and Kings Peak High gathered at the Jordan Learning Center for a Day of Service. Students participated in a wide variety of projects, including tying blankets to send to Primary Children’s Hospital, crafting yarn balls for toys, writing letters of encouragement to students learning English in Africa, and sending cards of thanks to military members and veterans.

Students also dropped off coats, boots, hats, and non-perishable food for the JVLA winter clothing and food drives. Great job JVLA students, for using your time and skills to make our community a better place this holiday season.
