The suits were sharp, and the dresses were elegant as students at Kauri Sue Hamilton School went all out for their annual Starlight Dance Prom. The school atrium was decorated with a space theme, befitting the shining stars at Kauri Sue, who celebrated the upcoming end to the school year by dancing the night away.

Thank you to everyone who made the event a night filled with smiles, pictures, and unforgettable memories for the wonderful students at Kauri Sue Hamilton School.

Jordan Virtual Learning Academy’s three schools have united for an all-grade art show at Bluffdale City Hall, featuring student artwork from Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary, Kelsey Peak Virtual Middle School, and Kings Peak High School. The exhibition highlights various artistic expressions, including drawings, paintings, ceramics, and photography.

The works are on display at Bluffdale City Hall, 2222 W. 14400 S., until Friday, May 23rd.

Prom night was especially memorable this year at West Jordan High School, thanks to thoughtful students who organized a pre-prom “Self-Care Event” designed to help their classmates look and feel their best, without the high price tag. The event was filled with free services and giveaways to make sure everyone had the chance to attend prom with confidence.

Students were treated to various free services like haircuts, styling, braiding, wigs, manicures, lash lifts, eyebrow tinting, teeth whitening, and waxing. The event also provided free prom dresses, suits, jewelry, and custom corsages and boutonnièrs supplies. It was all in preparation for the West Jordan High School prom.

The event was organized by student peer leaders from “Sources of Strength,” a program that promotes connection and well-being at the school. Led by teacher Robyn Briggs, the group partners with community members to make experiences at the school unforgettable.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this inspiring celebration of kindness.

Foothills Elementary School Principal Abe Yospe set some pretty aggressive reading goals for his school this year. For every 20 minutes of reading, students were given a star to place on the walls in the hallway. The students also received milestone rewards like extra recess time and other fun activities for filling up sections of the hallway.

Several thousand stars later, Principal Yospe and school psychologist Rex Prescott  saw the stars stretch down the hallways and reach a goal they thought impossible. The reward for reaching their reading goal was to allow students to pie the principals in the face during a school-wide assembly. Even worse, according to the two huge University of Utah fans, they would have to take pies in the face while dressed entirely in BYU apparel.

Lucky students were selected to pie the principals if it was their birthday or they had BYU apparel on, just to make the rivalry reward a little sweeter.

Congratulations to the Mustangs of Foothills Elementary for accomplishing amazing reading goals during the school year!

A vibrant showcase of creativity is on display as Jordan School District middle school students exhibit their artistic talents.
