Oquirrh Hills Middle School Revs Up For School Year

Posted on

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!

South Valley School Staff Builds Camaraderie with Building Blocks

Posted on

Educators at South Valley School got together for some team building using building blocks to kick off their year. The school theme for the year is “Building the Future Together,” and the educators took this theme literally as they worked in groups to build the fastest LEGO car at their staff welcome meeting.

A special congrats goes to the team of Ms. Egan, Mr. Holdaway, Ms. Lane, Ms. Roylance, and Ms. Ward of Class 3. Their LEGO racer proved to have the best aerodynamics and the most muscle under the hood, placing them on the top step of the podium. Have a great school year South Valley, and keep building up your students brick by brick!

Community Partners Volunteer to Set Up New Innovations Lab at Juniper Elementary

Posted on

Employees of the Utah Jazz, Utah Mammoth, America First Credit Union, and Jordan School District rolled up their sleeves and got to work getting the Innovation Lab at Juniper Elementary School up and running. This new space will contain everything from 3D printers to stop motion cameras, transforming a classroom into a digital learning laboratory where students can be creative and develop new skills. 

The group of volunteers spent their morning cleaning the classroom, painting the walls, and unboxing equipment and supplies to set up the room. The new lab will be housed at Juniper Elementary but used by classes in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade from across the District. 

Thank you to the Jazz, Mammoth, and America First Credit Union for their help in creating an amazing learning environment for students of Jordan School District.
