It was a special night as the Jordan School District Board of Education recognized and honored members of the 2022 class of retirees. The Board sponsored a special dinner and the West Jordan High School Madrigals, directed by Keith Evans, performed a selection of beautiful musical numbers for the retirees.

This year, Diane Dennison is the longest serving retiree with 42 years working in Jordan School District as an elementary school teacher. The 2022 class of retirees spent a total of 2,325 years in education.

Congratulations and thank you for your dedication and countless years of service! Your hard work serving students throughout Jordan School District has made a lasting impression on young lives. Best of luck in your retirement.

Aspen Elementary Hosts Fun and Creative Community Night

It was a family night out that included everything from fishing, carnival games and winning prizes to sharing information about health and wellness. Aspen Elementary School hosted a fun and creative community night where families could visit a wide variety of booths which provided information about all of the District and community resources available to them. Even police joined in the fun getting to know students and their families.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make the Community Night a great evening out for Aspen Elementary students and their families.

It was an exciting and competitive day for some elementary school special education students, along with their peers and it all started with a parade of athletes. Several hundred students with and without disabilities competed side-by-side in a fun Olympics-style Sports Day, which is part of the Unified Sports program in Jordan School District.

There was also a podium where students were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals for their participation in the track and field events. It was a day of building friendships, understanding and inclusion among all students.

Thanks to everyone involved for making this an amazing event for our students!

They are unique, colorful and beautiful pieces of art created by Majestic Elementary Arts Academy students as young as kindergarten. The pieces are so impressive they were selected to be part of a children’s art exhibit which will be on display for an entire year at BYU’s David O. McKay School of Education.

The Children’s Art Gallery is part of the BYU-ARTS Partnership which strives to promote teachers as well as increase instruction for them according to program coordinator, Doug Allen.  The art display also gives young artists recognition, validation and encourages them to continue pursuing their love of the arts.

Thanks to BYU and all of the teachers at Majestic Elementary Arts Academy for making this opportunity happen for our amazing students.
