South Jordan Elementary Principal Shows Her School Spirit Every School Day
She’s got school spirit and the wardrobe to prove it. Beth Pollock became the principal of South Jordan Elementary at the start of the school year and has worn the blue and yellow of the Rams every single school day this year, going on over 100 straight days with no end in sight. The blue and yellow have shown through during all kinds of weather, holidays, formal wear, spirit days, and more.
Great job letting your true colors shine through Principal Pollock!
The French Connection: Empowering the Next Generation of Francophones
The “French Connection” event recently transformed Copper Hills High School into a vibrant hub of linguistic mentorship, as French Bridge Program students hosted sixth graders from the elementary French Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program. The event was designed to foster a sense of community across grade levels, allowing older students to model advanced fluency while encouraging younger learners to continue pursuing their bilingual path. By stepping into the role of educators, the Bridge students created a supportive environment where the sixth graders could see real-world uses for French-speaking skills.
The elementary DLI students dived into deep discussions about the differences between a tourist and an explorer, celebrated the legacies of historical French-speaking heroes, and enjoyed Manie Musicale, where students debated the merits of various Francophone hits in a “March Madness” style bracket. This peer led approach not only reinforced critical vocabulary and cultural concepts but also proved that language learning at Copper Hills is about more than just language, it’s about connection and global citizenship.
