High Fives for West Jordan High School Seniors During “Graduation Walk”

Picture of Graduation WalkIt was a fun and somewhat emotional walk down memory lane for West Jordan High School seniors the day before graduation. The students participated in a “Graduation Walk,” where they walked up and down the halls of their former elementary and middle schools greeting students and connecting with former teachers.

The graduates also use the walk to inspire and encourage younger students to advantage of their educational opportunities and dream big for a bright future.

Thanks for the inspiration West Jordan High seniors!

South Jordan Middle School Students Suprise Retiring Teacher with an Original Composition

Students in the Sinfonia Orchestra at South Jordan Middle School wanted to give their retiring teacher Richard D. Munro a gift that he would never forget. So the students, along with the incoming orchestra teacher, practiced for hours on their own time, creating an original collaborative composition to play for him at their concert. Mr. Munro was so impressed and moved that he had the students play it again at the school’s end of the year invitational concert.

What a great way to honor the career of a dedicated teacher. Enjoy your much-deserved retirement, Mr. Munro.
