It was a special night as the Jordan School District Board of Education recognized and honored members of the 2022 class of retirees. The Board sponsored a special dinner and the West Jordan High School Madrigals, directed by Keith Evans, performed a selection of beautiful musical numbers for the retirees.

This year, Diane Dennison is the longest serving retiree with 42 years working in Jordan School District as an elementary school teacher. The 2022 class of retirees spent a total of 2,325 years in education.

Congratulations and thank you for your dedication and countless years of service! Your hard work serving students throughout Jordan School District has made a lasting impression on young lives. Best of luck in your retirement.

Aspen Elementary Hosts Fun and Creative Community Night

It was a family night out that included everything from fishing, carnival games and winning prizes to sharing information about health and wellness. Aspen Elementary School hosted a fun and creative community night where families could visit a wide variety of booths which provided information about all of the District and community resources available to them. Even police joined in the fun getting to know students and their families.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make the Community Night a great evening out for Aspen Elementary students and their families.
