Students at Rose Creek Elementary are glowing with school pride. By exhibiting great behavior in school and living the school values, classes can earn trips to the “Glow Room.” The room is decked out for a party, complete with blacklights, decorations, highlighters, games, and fun music.

Showing behavior that represents the school values of R.O.A.R. (Respect, Own your actions, Act safely, Ready to learn), students earn tallies that add up to tickets to a party. The fun has led to students filling up their class “ROAR” boards with great behavior as fast as possible to get back to the glow room for some more fun.

Special guests from Brazil joined students in Ms. Mueller’s Portuguese dual language immersion class at Bluffdale Elementary School. The group of Brazilian students stopped by during their trip to Utah to share their culture and experiences growing up in a Portuguese-speaking country. They even brought some of their favorite candies and treats all the way from South America. Bluffdale students showcased what a day in an American school is like, bringing their new friends to lunch, English class, and recess to learn how to play American football. 

Thank you to everyone who helped bring two groups of students from across the globe together for an enriching cultural exchange for all involved.

In December, students at South Jordan Middle School banded together for spirit days and a holiday fundraiser to support Primary Children’s Hospital. The student body combined to raise over $2600 for Primary Children’s and unlocked some fun rewards in the process. Student body officers were pied in the face, but the grand finale was a sliming of the administration. SBO’s concocted a thick, cold, and blue slime that they poured on Mr. Jenson, Ms. Erickson, and Mr. Rambadt during lunch to celebrate raising funds for a great cause.

Well done on a great holiday fundraiser, South Jordan Middle!

It’s not often you find a 4^th grade student who has something strikingly in common with the Superintendent of Schools. But take one look at Daybreak Elementary School’s Camden Glover and you will immediately see the similarity. Camden appears to be a youthful double or doppelgänger of Superintendent Anthony Godfrey.

When Camden got all gussied up wearing a smart suit and tie, the resemblance was even more striking. And, the 4^th grader shares some really great personality traits with the Superintendent. Both love to meet new people, are fun to interact with and be around, and both are very energetic. But when Dr. Godfrey asked Camden if he would like to follow in his footsteps and be a superintendent one day, Camden said no thanks. Camden actually would like to be an assistant principal like TJ Davenport at Daybreak Elementary. Camden says if he were an assistant principal, like Mr. Davenport, he would get to play basketball every day at recess and “school” the competition like Mr. Davenport does.

We’re pretty sure no matter what he decides to pursue, Camden has a very bright future ahead. Thanks, Camden for playing along in the fun photo shoot with Superintendent Godfrey!
