Food Drive Collects Over Ten Thousand Food Items to Help Feed Students Throughout JSD

Antelope Canyon Elementary School students and families came together to support their community by collecting over ten thousand items during the school’s annual food drive. The student council volunteered every morning for four days, collecting donations under the direction of the PTA and parent volunteer Malori Mower.

The donations will stock Principal’s Pantries throughout the District, providing essential resources for students and families experiencing need. To celebrate the community’s generosity, a local Arctic Circle donated ice cream treats to the winning grade-level classes.

Great work, Antelope Canyon Elementary students, staff, and families. Your generosity and service will help students and families throughout Jordan School District.

South Jordan Mayor Celebrates America 250 with Fifth Grade Students

America’s 250th birthday is fast approaching, and South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey and Jordan School District Superintendent Anthony Godfrey teamed up to help students celebrate. Mayor Ramsey brought each fifth grader at South Jordan’s nine elementary schools a sticker replica of the History in a Flag mosaic mural on display at South Jordan City Hall. Dr. Godfrey and Mayor Ramsey discussed American history with the students. They asked trivia questions about what they had learned in their study of United States history and civics this school year for a chance to win a special-edition America 250 pin.

Thank you, Mayor Ramsey for spending the day with our fifth graders!
