It was a day to run for a good cause and the community was on board from start to finish. The Bastian Elementary School PTA Fun Run combined student determination, lots of bright colors, smiles, and working together to meet the fundraising goal of $15,000. Participants had a blast running and finding themselves in the bright colors from head to toe. There was even a dunk tank and Principal Jessica Stowe was a good sport and got dunked, bringing delight and lots of laughter from students!

Thanks to everyone for coming together to support the PTA and the incredible work volunteers do all year long for students and teachers at Bastian Elementary School.

It was all smiles as students finished the recent PTA Color Run fundraiser at Mountain Point Elementary School. Parents, family, and members of the community stepped up in a big way to help students reach their fundraising goal collecting $30,000 for the PTA and the important work they do in the school each year.

If they achieved their fundraising goal, Principal Elizabeth Felt and Assistant Principal Jennifer Manning promised students and the community that they would have their hair colored in bright colors as a reward. So, the two made an appointment at a local hair salon, and held a big reveal of their new hair colors for the entire school to see.

Thank you to the generous community for helping students have so much fun at our PTA Color Run, raising money to support teachers and students at Mountain Point Elementary School!

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!
