Memories are being made at the brand new Oak Leaf Elementary School in Herriman and last night the community came together to celebrate. An official school dedication ceremony was held at the school. Student body leaders greeted guests as they arrived and Principal Ronna Hoffman welcomed everyone thanking VCBO Architects, Hughes Construction, District staff, the Board of Education, parents, students and the community for their role in making the new school a reality.

There were also remarks by Jordan Board of Education President Tracy Miller, Richard Dansie, Herriman City Mayor, Lorin Palmer, and Superintendent Anthony Godfrey.

The Student Council led a flag ceremony followed by a lively performance of the new school song.

Board member Darrell Robinson conducted the official dedication of Oak Leaf Elementary School. Thank you to everyone who participated in this special event.

Have a fabulous school year, Oak Leaf Owls! We hope you make memories that will last a lifetime.

It was a night filled with lots of fun and making family memories together with teachers and staff. The Jordan Child Development Center organized an awesome Fall Festival which included free Halloween activities, some surprises for the little ones and spooktacular prizes. It was a lot of fun for families and their children who were excited to sport their Halloween costumes a little early and then pose for priceless pictures.

Thanks to the kind and caring Jordan Child Development Center staff for working so hard to provide a night of fun for the whole family.

West Jordan Middle School students in Kathy Howa’s health class received a cross-curricular lesson on nutrition involving English and history teachers. First, students chose a country to learn about their history and culture. Then, the students had to pick a food dish from that country, list the ingredients, and make a poster about their findings. Finally, students had to give a presentation on their country and do a taste test for the class.

Ms. Howa said the project was a great team-building lesson and brought different departments and parents together. She received several emails from parents thanking her for the experience of being a part of their student’s project.

Great job, West Jordan Middle School teachers and Ms. Howa, for creating such an inclusive and unique project.

Red Ribbon Week at Silver Crest Elementary is always filled with fun costumes and themed days, but this year’s kick-off event was just a little extra special for school staff. Students put their creativity to the test to make their best impressions of Silver Crest teachers for “dress like a teacher day.’ The results were hilarious, with students drawing on fake beards, wearing glasses, and finding clothes to match the ones their teachers usually wear.

What a fun way to start Red Ribbon Week and get the whole school involved.
