It was an evening of connections, resources, music, student performances, and most importantly, fun at the 2025 Fall Family Fair at the Veridian in West Jordan. This event is an excellent opportunity for Jordan School District students and their families to connect with community resources and have a great time.

The fair, hosted by JSD Language and Culture Services, features departments from across the District. The Superintendents of Rock also made an appearance, showing up to entertain the crowd.
Thank you to everyone who made this year’s fair such a big success!

Copper Hills Continues Tradition of Blood Donations

Posted on

Students at Copper Hills High School are among the biggest blood donors in the state, and their latest blood drive proved to be no exception. ARUP had all hands on deck for donations as the Grizzlies’ latest blood drive collected 159 donations, which will go on to save 477 lives. All blood donated to ARUP during the drive will remain in Utah and help patients at the University of Utah Health Hospitals and Huntsman Cancer Institute. 

Kudos to the outstanding work done by the Copper Hills HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) in organizing a massive day of giving. The next Copper Hills blood drive is scheduled for December 18. Great job, Grizzlies!
