It was a magical night of amazing music performed by about 165 middle school students from across Jordan School District. The annual Honor Choir concert was filled with beautiful sounds from students who worked so hard to perfect the numbers. Their hard work paid off and the concert was a huge success with the audience giving the choir a standing ovation.

The Honor Choir was directed by Dr. Emily Mercado, an Assistant Professor of Choral Music Education and the Music Education Area Head at the University of Utah.  Jessica Jepson was the choir’s accompanist.

Congratulations to everyone involved in giving students this incredible opportunity to perform and share their amazing vocal talents.

Tree Planting Day at Riverton Elementary School Fun and Environmentally Friendly

Posted on

It was a day to dig in and work together for future generations. Students, staff, and parents participated with Tree Utah in a tree planting day at Riverton Elementary School. They invested in the future by planting 20 trees throughout the school property. It was an opportunity for everyone to join forces for future generations of students.

More than 25 years ago, the School Community Council invested in the future of Riverton Elementary by creating an Outdoor Classroom. Their foresight provided respite for students and teachers during the pandemic. Similarly, Tree Utah is enabling the school to look forward, perhaps another 25 years, to future generations enjoying themselves at Riverton Elementary, finding respite in the shade of 20 trees just planted on school grounds.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this amazing project!
