Some classrooms on wheels made their way to kindergarten and first-grade students at Antelope Canyon Elementary School on Tuesday. That’s because school bus drivers are on a mission to make this school year as safe as possible, teaching students how to get on and off the big yellow school bus safely and much more.

At Antelope Canyon students watched a fun safety video inside, then headed outside where they practiced boarding and exiting the school bus and learned the importance of staying seated while on the bus with hands on their laps and feet on the floor. They also learned why they should always stay in the driver’s line of sight and never run behind the bus. Finally, the students participated in emergency evacuations and found out how to cross safely at a crosswalk.

School bus drivers are talking to elementary school students across Jordan School District and hope the personalized safety lessons will save lives.

Thanks to our school bus drivers and Transportation safety education team. Keep up the great work.

It is a mealtime moment of pride for students at Silver Crest Elementary School. Once a month, teachers nominate one student from every class to be recognized for an act of kindness, hard work leading to academic success, or simply being a good Silver Crest student. Every student nominated is then invited to enjoy a “Kindness Rocks” lunch with the principal.

Principal Patty Bowen has a great time at the special lunch, greeting the honorees, then reading the reason their teachers say they should be recognized. McDonald’s provides lunch, and to everyone’s delight, the tasty meal comes with a fun toy for each student as well.

Congratulations to Silver Crest students for their kindness, always striving for success and being good to one another. Thanks to Principal Bowen for recognizing the rock stars with her “Kindness Rocks” lunch.
