Daybreak Elementary School began the year with an assembly featuring a bronze medal winner. Special Olympian Natalie Green from South Jordan showed off the medal she won in Turin, Italy, this year in Dance Sport. During her speech, she emphasized the importance of teamwork with her partner on the dance team Trey Garrett. Natalie encouraged the students to follow her example and be engaged in their learning, try new sports and hobbies, and be inclusive to everyone in their school.

Thank you to Natalie for sharing such an inspiring and important message with the students at Daybreak!

The student parking lot at West Jordan High School has been upgraded with some pops of color and homages to everything from Red Bull to Hello Kitty.

Seniors at West Jordan paid for the opportunity to not only reserve a parking spot, but also give it a personal touch. During the last few days of summer vacation, students painted their parking space in a design of their choice, ranging from pop culture references and landscape designs to a QR code and a Utah license plate. Proceeds from each of the 48 parking stall personalizations will go to help fund student activities for the 2025-26 school year.

Kudos to the seniors who are sharing their creativity and artistic skills with not only the students and staff, but also the West Jordan community.

Back-to-school night at Oquirrh Hills Middle School was filled with music, chatting with friends, talking with new teachers, and the sounds of muscle car engines. The theme of the upcoming year at Oquirrh Hills is “You Are In The Driver’s Seat” to encourage students to be in control of their education and the school hosted a car show with their back-to-school night to get everyone in the mindset. Students found lockers and classrooms inside and checked out some new and classic cars from their community outside of the school.  

A special thank you goes out to Riverton Police Department for showcasing a pair of squad trucks and UTA for bringing a bus and educating the students about public transportation in the area. 

Welcome back and have a great school year Oquirrh Hills Eagles!
