Every year during the holiday season, students throughout Jordan School District give back to their communities by raising money for charitable causes and families in need. They not only give money, but spend countless hours finding unique ways to fundraise in hopes of making the lives of others a little better.

Thank you to all the students and staff who are dedicated to this charitable work.

Here is a list of the 2022 charities for each high school this holiday season.

• Riverton High School – Utah Children’s Justice Center
• Herriman High School – Now I Can Foundation
• Mountain Ridge High School – Hearts Knit Together
• West Jordan High School – Tiny Tim’s Foundation for Kids
• Copper Hills High School – Make-A-Wish Utah and other needs in their community
• Bingham High School –  Angels Hands and Make-A-Wish Utah

It was a morning of magical holiday moments and memories for South Valley students. They took a short field trip to experience the Festival of Trees, taking in all of the beautifully decorated, extravagant trees, stunning wreaths, hand-crafted gingerbread houses, and much more.

Each donated tree tells a touching story and the students were able to learn about those stories as well.

The 2022 Festival of Trees is taking place at the Mountain America Exposition Center and runs through December 3.

In our ongoing efforts to keep parents informed about protocols in place for the safety of students in our schools, we produced several special episodes of Superintendent Godfrey’s weekly podcast, “The Supercast.”

One episode explains important aspects of Reunification, which is a process used by all schools in the event of a crisis in or outside the building. Reunification plays a crucial role in helping us get students safely back home to loved ones in an emergency situation. You can also watch a parent reunification video.

Another episode focuses on continuing efforts to enhance safety and security in our schools and buildings.

We invite you to listen to the episodes and view the video using the links below:
