It is an initiative spearheaded by Utah First Lady Abby Cox to support and celebrate Utah educators and that’s exactly what they did at the Mountain American Expo Center in Sandy on Thursday.
About 2,000 teachers and school counselors representing school districts from around the state, including Jordan, enjoyed a day focusing on their wellness and professional development. There were breakout session on stress management, mental health, and one led by Jordan School District Wellness Administrator McKinley Withers called “Skills for Personal and Professional Fulfillment.” Attendees were also treated to a wide array of swag provided by local businesses.
One big highlight of the day was a concert by the popular “Superintendents of Rock.” Jordan’s own Superintendent Anthony Godfrey is a member of the band which travels throughout Utah, often performing at events supporting education.
Congratulations to everyone who took part in organizing “Show Up for Teachers.” We hope our educators feel the love and support from everyone involved.
It was a night to shine and receive recognition for twenty teachers throughout the state of Utah, and shine they did. First Lady Abby Cox welcomed everyone to the annual Show Up for Teachers, “Honors in Education Gala” this week. It’s an event that salutes the capacity and commitment of some of Utah’s top teachers.
Among those recognized were two incredible teachers from Jordan School District. Congratulations to Brittany Jaque from Copper Canyon Elementary and Dannel Black from Mountain Ridge High School, both honored for being great examples of resilience and hope.
The First Lady said teachers are the very definition of hope during difficult days, and despite difficulties, they always press forward.
Congratulations to all teachers honored at the gala. We admire all you do for students and their path to success.
Bluffdale Elementary School teachers Jessica Bell’Aver and Edson Rabelo received well-deserved recognition from United States Congressman
Burgess Owens, who honored them on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. Bell’Aver, a first-grade teacher, and Rabelo, a sixth-grade teacher, were honored for their outstanding work in Bluffdale Elementary’s Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program, where students spend half of their school day learning in the Portuguese language.
“Bluffdale students are thriving because dedicated teachers believe in their potential and push them to reach it,” Owens said in his recognition.
Bluffdale Elementary is one of 10 DLI elementary schools in Jordan District. The program begins in first grade and continues up to 12th grade, with University classes available in High School. Openings for first graders in the upcoming school year are still available in the French and Chinese programs. To learn more or to apply, visit immersion.jordandistrict.org.
They are out in the heat and hard at work this summer maintaining our school grounds over the summer months with lawn care, planting, trimming, and outdoor repairs. Thank you to our dedicated grounds crews for all they do to keep our properties up, preparing them for the safe return of students, teachers, staff, and athletes on the playing field in the new school year.
We appreciate groundskeepers throughout the District, maintaining outdoor spaces, ensuring they are clean, safe, and visually appealing. Keep up the great work!
