They were running, climbing, jumping, crawling, making their way through mud and down a slippery slide, all to benefit Jordan School District teachers and students in the classroom.

The 2025 Jordan Education Foundation Challenge Run was a huge success and a fun time for all at Veteran’s Memorial Park in West Jordan.

The event is sponsored by local businesses and the Jordan Education Foundation, with 100% of proceeds going directly toward classroom grants benefiting students and teachers in the District.

Thank you to the generous sponsors and everyone who participated, supporting students and education!

Jordan School District was well represented at the Ballpark during Salt Lake Bees Teacher Appreciation Night. Over 1,000 employees took advantage of half-priced tickets to see the Bees take on the Sugar Land Space Cowboys with a postgame fireworks show on Saturday night.

Two people with Jordan School District ties were recognized on the field prior to the game. Rick Minor, a teacher at Mountain Ridge High School, was given the honor of delivering the game ball to the mound. Rick is retiring following this school year after an incredible 34 years working in education. Kaylee Bucio Prudente, a student at West Jordan Middle School, sang a stirring rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner.

Congratulations to Kaylee and Rick and thank you to the Salt Lake Bees for hosting Teacher Appreciation Night.

It was an elegant night to remember for students and staff at the South Valley School. When a teacher at the school realized many South Valley students were never given the opportunity to attend a swanky senior night out, she jumped into action. The teacher rallied others at the school and together they organized a beautiful Senior Dinner and Dance Night.

Graduates and their guests were greeted with corsages and boutonnières made by staff and then escorted to their tables and seated by a Maitre d’.

 The students enjoyed an Italian soda bar while they waited for staff to serve them courses of charcuterie, salad, lasagna, rolls, and cheesecake.

A fabulous string quartet from Copper Hills High School provided background music during the dinner. Students also had the opportunity to take photos with an Italian backdrop, dance to their hearts’ content (with another fantastic set by DJ Max) and enjoy popcorn and candy snacks. Each graduate also had a photo memory on a graduate wall.

Congratulations to the South Valley staff who worked so hard to plan such a special night, create an amazing atmosphere, and give students a magical night they will always remember.

They inspire students every day with lessons that prepare them for future success. This week join us in celebrating the great teachers in Jordan School District as part of Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers truly are a treasure in every one of our schools and classrooms, in our communities too.

At Aspen Elementary School, teachers were treated to an activity making their very own flower bouquets. That’s because the school wanted teachers to know, “How sweet it is to be taught by you,” and “If teachers were flowers, we’d pick you.”

Other schools are celebrating teachers by decorating classroom doors with clever teacher appreciation messages and displaying big signs outside the school.

Please take a minute to thank a teacher today for their hard work and dedication supporting students and education throughout the year.
