She is a 12th grade student at Kings Peak Virtual High School and her original artwork will be on its way to Washington D.C. soon. Principal Ammon Wiemers says Kings Peak is extremely proud of Mariah, who took a first-place award at the 51st annual Utah All-State High School Art Show for her digital artwork titled “Wave.” Congressman Burgess Owens presented Mariah with the award and her artwork will be on display at the Springville Art Museum until March 24, 2023. After that, the piece will be transported to Washington D.C., where it will be displayed inside Congressman Owen’s Congressional office for one year.
Congratulations, Mariah! What an amazing accomplishment.
It was a special night for some Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School students, their families, and Principal Ross Menlove. The Bluffdale City Council and Mayor Natalie Hall took time to recognize five students for their exemplary dedication to learning in school. Each student was addressed individually by Mayor Hall.
It was an evening of fun with cultural presentations, educational games, food, and a fantastic program. Jordan School District students organized an authentic Chinese New Year celebration where people were invited to browse interactive cultural exhibits, participate in games, and take in amazing displays. Delicious food was also available from Fatty Tuna and Panda Express.
Please join us in congratulating West Jordan High School’s Alyse Almond on an amazing achievement. This dedicated Jordan School District educator has joined the ranks of National Board Certified Teachers (NBCT) around the country, truly demonstrating a dedication to her craft.
