There were also remarks by Jordan Board of Education President Tracy Miller, Richard Dansie, Herriman City Mayor, Lorin Palmer, and Superintendent Anthony Godfrey.
The Student Council led a flag ceremony followed by a lively performance of the new school song.

Have a fabulous school year, Oak Leaf Owls! We hope you make memories that will last a lifetime.
It was a night filled with lots of fun and making family memories together with teachers and staff. The Jordan Child Development Center organized an awesome Fall Festival which included free Halloween activities, some surprises for the little ones and spooktacular prizes. It was a lot of fun for families and their children who were excited to sport their Halloween costumes a little early and then pose for priceless pictures.
Thanks to the kind and caring Jordan Child Development Center staff for working so hard to provide a night of fun for the whole family.
West Jordan Middle School students in Kathy Howa’s health class received a cross-curricular lesson on nutrition involving English and history teachers. First, students chose a country to learn about their history and culture. Then, the students had to pick a food dish from that country, list the ingredients, and make a poster about their findings. Finally, students had to give a presentation on their country and do a taste test for the class.
Ms. Howa said the project was a great team-building lesson and brought different departments and parents together. She received several emails from parents thanking her for the experience of being a part of their student’s project.
Great job, West Jordan Middle School teachers and Ms. Howa, for creating such an inclusive and unique project.
