She is in the first grade and already a Rosamond Elementary student is being recognized for her creativity and encouraging students to read. Greta, representing Rosamond, is one of eight Utah students who won a $1,000 college savings scholarship in the 2023 Make Your Mark bookmark contest. The contest, sponsored by my529, invited students throughout the State to create an original bookmark design.

Winning entries were chosen by judges, with two winners from each of four age categories.

Congratulations, Greta. Keep up the great work as an artist and encouraging students to read.

Middle School Students throughout Jordan School District partnered with their communities to give back. All December, under the supervision of school staff, students held events and drives to collect over $76,000 worth of money and donations for good causes in their communities. 

Some of the charities that benefited from Middle School charity drives are:

• The Utah Food Bank
• Angel Tree 
• For the Kids
• Jordan Education Foundation
• Principal’s Pantries
• The Road Home
• NixonStrong Foundation 
• Primary Children’s Hospital 
• Christmas for Local Families
• Veterans of America

Thank you to all our community partners, middle school students, and staff for your generosity this holiday season. 

It was another year of hard work and giving from the heart. Students in our high schools rallied for a number of charitable causes and their work paid off in a big way to benefit others. This year our six high schools raised a total of $625,921.90!!!

Congratulations to everyone involved and to our amazing communities for their support.

Wishing you all Happy Holidays and all the best in the New Year!
