Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary students donned their capes and masks and visited the new Jordan Learning Center for Superhero Math and Literacy Night. Students played math and reading games with the help of faculty and then took the games home to continue the fun and learning.

The superhero fun was even embraced by Principal Menlove, who muscled into his Thor costume to greet students. To top it all off, a book fair was available for superheroes to bring some new reading material to their secret hideouts, and pizza was provided for dinner.

Unified High School Soccer teams from Bingham, Copper Hills, Herriman, Mountain Ridge, Riverton, and West Jordan joined teams from across the state to compete in this year’s Unified Soccer Championship. The tournament started with a day of games at the Real Salt Lake’s Zions Bank Training Center in Herriman. Winners from group play then moved on to contest for a state title the next day at America First Field in Sandy.

Teams from Bingham, Herriman, and West Jordan each advanced to their Championship game at the home of Real Salt Lake and the Utah Royals, with Bingham and Herriman winning the state championship in their respective divisions. Two teams were declared champions, but everyone who participated went home winners with the smiles to prove it.

Congratulations to all of the athletes who competed, and thank you to the coaches, volunteers, officials, and supporters who make unified sports in Jordan School District a memorable and special experience for everyone involved.

It was an unforgettable evening for the Monte Vista Elementary community! The school’s lawn was aglow with the warmth of over 400 families and neighbors who gathered to celebrate the traditional Chinese holiday, the Mid-Autumn Festival. With clear skies overhead and a brilliant moon lighting up the night, it was a picture-perfect setting for a night of cultural celebration and togetherness.

Students and their families explored 10 different stations offering traditional Chinese treats and fun, interactive games. Everyone had the chance to immerse themselves in key aspects of Chinese culture, enjoying captivating Chinese calligraphy demonstrations, a graceful Taichi performance, and exciting Chinese yo-yo performances. It was an excellent opportunity to learn and experience something new.

To make the most of the beautiful autumn night, the Salt Lake Astronomical Society brought telescopes for a fantastic session of stargazing. Families spread out on blankets, admired the beauty of the moon, and enjoyed the festive, welcoming atmosphere. Monte Vista organizers were absolutely thrilled with the incredible turnout and community spirit, noting that the perfect weather and the brilliant moon truly made the night special.

Great job to everyone at Monte Vista Elementary School who made the event a vibrant and enriching experience. Keep up the fantastic work!
