Hayden Peak Elementary Students All Smiles Playing Kickball with Police Officers

Posted on

Picture of kickball gameSome Hayden Peak Elementary 5th grade students got a big kick out of having police officers at their school recently. That’s because in an effort to engage with students and get to know them, West Jordan police came to the school for a friendly game of kickball. It gave officers a break from their regular routine and allowed them to serve in a way that builds a bond and trust with students.

The game with West Jordan’s finest was so much fun, students are already looking forward to kickball with the officers next year.

Thanks to West Jordan Police for spending some valuable time at Hayden Peak, letting kids know how much they care over a good game of kickball.

Summer Challenge: Small Acts of Wellness

Posted on

Wellness WednesdayIt’s the little things that make the biggest difference when it comes to your wellness and the wellness of students.

Now that students aren’t spending much or any of the day in school, there is a mistaken belief that families need to do “big” things with their extra time together. However, wellness is determined by small, intentional, positive daily acts. This means that wellness is within each person’s reach.

A daily walk in the sunlight, an extra few minutes talking in-person or on the phone with friends or family, or a five-minute daily meditation can have a big impact on a person’s overall wellness.

We want to offer you a summer wellness challenge. Make this summer, a summer of small things. Take 5-30 minutes per day to attempt an intentional, positive wellness practice.

We will continue to share tips and ideas each week for these small, essential actions that can enhance wellness for families. We hope you have a great week!

Posted on

The last day of school was filled with fun for students at Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School. That’s because the school’s principal, teachers and staff organized a field day with games like a ring toss, chalk art, sidewalk bowling, even pink flamingos joined in the fun.

Students also had the opportunity to pose for pictures with the principal who had a new look for the day. Mr. Menlove dyed his hair bright pink, a memorable way to send students off for summer.

We can’t wait to see what Mr. Menlove and his staff have in store for students in the upcoming year at Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School!
