It was a fun day celebrating amazing student athletes, sportsmanship, and working together as a team during the Jordan School District Unified Basketball tournament. The tournament is part of a Special Olympics program that has special needs students with varying abilities on the same team with peer tutors. The goal is to promote inclusion and understanding on and off the playing field.
Monday’s tournament was held at the JL Sorenson Recreation Center in Herriman. Eight JSD middle schools, along with Timberline Junior High from Alpine School District, had teams competing. The fans in the stands were fabulous, cheering the players on to victory. Those fans included family members, friends, and other students excited to be there to offer support. Even First Lady Abby Cox was on hand to support the student athletes.
Thanks to everyone involved in this incredible event, giving students of all abilities the opportunity to play and celebrate success together. Everyone walked away a winner at this tournament.
Daybreak Elementary Student Body Officers (SBOs) led the school in a Monday morning team huddle. On the last Monday of every month, the school holds a 15-minute assembly where the SBOs find unique ways to engage students, discuss goals, and address challenges across the school as a part of this year’s theme of “Team Daybreak.”
Great job to the Daybreak Elementary School SBOs and staff for finding interesting ways to get important messages out to the student body and build a cohesive community.
