Last month, six Jordan School District teams competed in three events at the Utah Esports Finals. All the teams put in a great effort, two placed in their competitions. The Bingham High School League of Legends Team took second in their competition, and The Copper Hills High School Smash Team placed fourth in the state.
Congratulations to those who competed in the State tournament.
It
is a program bringing students of all abilities together creating a fast and meaningful path to fun, friendship and understanding. First Lady Abby Cox was on hand as Jordan School District launched the first ever “Unified Golf” program in the State of Utah.
“Unified Golf” is an opportunity for middle school students with and without disabilities to come together as friends and play together on a team in competitive golf. The Glenmoor Golf Course team has been working hard to make “Unified Golf” a reality. Students received a quick lesson in using a golf club, swinging, putting and just enjoying the game and each other.
This program, which is part of Unified Sports, is a statewide effort to foster greater empathy and understanding of students with disabilities and to encourage more inclusion and opportunities for all students.
As we continue to recognize Jordan School District teachers during this Teacher Appreciation Week, Superintendent Godfrey has a message of thanks.
The Superintendent recently traveled to every single school in the District, recognizing Outstanding Educators along with the Jordan Education Foundation.
Enjoy this video showing the Superintendent as he travels from school to school offering sincere appreciation for teachers!
It was a magical night to remember as Kauri Sue Hamilton School special needs students gathered for the experience of a lifetime. Peer leaders from Riverton High School organized a springtime prom with lights, decorations, a DJ, dancing, pictures and refreshments for the special needs students to enjoy. The theme of the night was “Out of this World,” and to make the evening even more memorable, all Kauri Sue graduates were invited to attend. The graduates also had the chance to get all dressed up and dance to their hearts content.
Thanks to everyone involved for making this amazing night so wonderful for students.
As we continue to honor and say thanks to amazing teachers during this “Teacher Appreciation Week,” we have a special video tribute to some of the very best.
Teachers throughout Jordan School District were recently surprised by members of the Jordan Education Foundation with “Educator of the Year” awards. We went along to document the emotions and pride on the part of educators involved.
Watch this video and smile!
