There were a lot of smiles, excitement, and anticipation as high school students headed back to class for the beginning of the 2022-23 school year. It was 7^th grade orientation day as well, welcoming a new class of middle school students.

We wish everyone a safe, fun, and successful school year filled with special memories to last a lifetime!

It was a night to remember under the lights at the Salt Lake Bees baseball game. Several Jordan School District students and their peer tutors joined Superintendent Anthony Godfrey in throwing the first pitches of the game.

Mia Jackman, a 9^th grade student at Mountain Creek Middle School, was first up with a spectacular pitch. Mia participates in Utah Special Olympics’ Unified Sports and Unified Music.

Jaymi Bonner, a 9^th grade student at Mountain Creek Middle School, was up next with another amazing pitch. Jaymi also participates in Utah Special Olympics’ Unified Sports and Unified Music.

Mia and Jaymi were joined by their peer tutors Griffen England and Emerson Morphy.

Finally, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey took the mound throwing a pitch that landed perfectly in the catcher’s glove.

Thanks to Mia, Jaymi, Griffen and Emerson for making the District proud along with Superintendent Godfrey during a fun night at the ballpark!

The countdown is on as we prepare to welcome students back to school for the 2022-23 school year. High school students return on Wednesday, Aug. 17 while our middle and elementary students start on Thursday.

There was a lot of excitement at Majestic Elementary School Arts Academy already on Monday as Principal Johansen, a number of students and staff were featured with Rich Bonaduce on Fox 13’s Good Day Utah. They had so much fun demonstrating all the cool things happening to integrate the arts into education. Congratulations on a job well done and thanks to everyone for getting up early to shine.

We are together again and we are united. Welcome back, everyone! Let’s make it an amazing year.
