Festival of Trees Shines for South Valley Students

Posted on

South Valley students made their annual trek to view the holiday displays at the Festival of Trees at Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy today. Even though many students in the transitional school have difficulty walking, seeing or communicating, dedicated District staff members made sure each student had the opportunity to feel the holiday spirit as they wandered through the beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses and holiday displays.

One group of students even took Trax rather than a school bus to the Expo Center, teaching them public transportation skills they will need as they transition from school to careers. All funds raised from the Festival of Trees support Primary Children’s Hospitals.

Jordan Education Foundation Kicks off “Christmas for Kids” with Shopping Spree for South Valley School and River’s Edge Students

Posted on

This holiday season, some South Valley School and River’s Edge School students teamed up with dedicated District staff for a heartwarming shopping spree at the South Jordan Walmart, all made possible by the Jordan Education Foundation. Over the past year, the Foundation has been actively raising funds from the community to ensure that students who might not otherwise receive gifts can enjoy a festive holiday.

As part of the Foundation’s cherished “Christmas for Kids” initiative, volunteers guided students through the aisles of the South Jordan Walmart, allowing each student to choose $150 worth of gifts. This year, many South Valley students opted for practical items such as clothing and shoes, focusing on essentials that will aid them in their transition to independent living after they complete their time at the school, while River’s Edge students not only wanted the basics but got gifts for family and friends.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the incredible volunteers and community supporters who make “Christmas for Kids” a reality. Your generosity brings joy and hope to our students, reminding everyone of the season’s true spirit!
