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.
It was an exciting and competitive day for some elementary school special education students, along with their peers and it all started with a parade of athletes. Several hundred students with and without disabilities competed side-by-side in a fun Olympics-style Sports Day, which is part of the Unified Sports program in Jordan School District.
There was also a podium where students were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals for their participation in the track and field events. It was a day of building friendships, understanding and inclusion among all students.
Thanks to everyone involved for making this an amazing event for our students!
