He is described as simply one of the best teachers around and students are lucky to have him in the classroom. Please join us in congratulating Elk Ridge Middle School Social Studies teacher AJ Steele. Mr. Steele was recently recognized by the College Board and the Utah State Board of Education as an Advanced Placement Highflyer Teacher because of his extraordinary work in the number of students taking the AP exams and the percentage of students with exceptional scores.

This award goes to a select group of teachers who have proven practices in building a classroom culture of confidence when it comes to taking the AP exam. Educators recognized with the award had at least 75% of their students take the AP exam with a pass rate exceeding 10% above the Utah average.

Congratulations, Mr. Steele! Keep up the great work inspiring student success.

It was all smiles and high energy as Bingham High School students and staff gathered for a fun and entertaining Homecoming assembly. The assembly kicks off Homecoming week at Bingham High School and featured cheerleaders, talented dancers, Bingham traditions, games, and amazing performances.

The week of fun and excitement concludes with the big football game on Friday night and the Homecoming dance on Saturday. The theme of this year’s dance is “Homecoming, Do You Remember?”

Happy Homecoming Bingham Miners!

They became fast friends after being introduced during a recent school event. Now, Jordan Ridge Elementary School students are taking kindness to new heights hoping to help their new friends at the neighboring Kauri Sue Hamilton School. Kauri Sue is a school for special education students with severe needs and kids at the two schools felt a fast connection.

Because of that connection, Jordan Ridge students ran laps for their own school today, and on behalf of Kauri Sue students, at the PTA sponsored Jogathon held indoors due to rain. They are raising money for Jordan Ridge Elementary and hope the community will donate to support the Kauri Sue Hamilton School. Jordan Ridge students simply want to make sure their friends with special needs feel the communities’ love and support, both in and outside the classroom.

Jordan Ridge Elementary is reaching out to people and businesses in the broader community for help to achieve their act of kindness, encouraging them to make a donation to Kauri Sue (through the Jordan Education Foundation) so they can show the students with special needs how much they care.

Way to go Jordan Ridge Elementary School on making your Jogathon a big win for everyone!

It was a morning to honor and remember at Sunset Ridge Middle School as students gathered in moving ceremony to observe Patriot Day. They held a flag ceremony and joined in remembrance to honor the individuals who lost their lives in the terror attacks on September 11, 2001.

Sunset Ridge Middle students, teachers, and staff want to make sure all the brave, selfless heroes who tirelessly defend our freedom every day are recognized and those who have lost their lives for our freedoms are never forgotten.
