A heartwarming tradition at Elk Ridge Middle School is the work students do with Angel Tree to provide kids in their community with a Christmas. Each class adopted an Angel and collected both gifts and cash donations. Donations poured in, with some classes even filling two bags of gifts.

With the money raised, Elk Ridge SBOs shopped for the Angels who didn’t have all their needs filled, ensuring every child received support. This project developed real-world skills in project management, teamwork, and communication, all while making a tangible difference for children and families who need it most.

Amazing job working together to show the power of giving during the holiday season Elk Ridge!

There were baskets, smiles, cheers, and money raised at Herriman High School as Copper Mountain and Mountain Creek Middle Schools met up for a charity basketball game. Copper Mountain donated funds raised from ticket sales and concessions during the annual hardwood face-off to the Utah Food Bank and the Jordan Education Foundation. Mountain Creek donated their proceeds to The Giving Grinch.

The Copper Mountain choir performed the Star-Spangled Banner, and the dance companies for both schools supplied the halftime entertainment. Mountain Creek prevailed on the court, but everyone was a winner after a fun community night for some great causes.

Welding students at JATC South have been working hard to make holiday gifts and decorations using the skills they have learned in the advanced welding class. The students have been building small metal Christmas trees, angels, and gift boxes for the last several weeks, which they are selling to raise funds to send students to the Welding SkillsUSA Competition this spring.

If you would like to support the program by taking home one of these festive holiday gifts, place an online order. Remember to take your receipt to JATC South during school hours to pick up your items. Supplies are limited.

Midas Creek Elementary was filled with festive cheer as the school’s talented choir and band held their annual holiday performance!
