It was a generous donation from a local company wanting to contribute to the health and wellness of educators. doTERRA International, located in Pleasant Grove, donated hundreds of bottles of their therapeutic grade essential oils to the Jordan Health and Wellness Team. The team decided they wanted to do something unique to help reduce workplace stress for principals in JSD schools, so they are making “Calming Kits,” comprised of different items to reduce stress and anxiety. The doTERRA essential oils will be included in every kit when they are delivered.

Thanks to Kelsey Lund, doTERRA’s Corporate Sponsorship Specialist, for stopping by to deliver the essential oils to our Health and Wellness Team.

doTERRA’s contribution to educator health and wellness is truly appreciated! Thank you.

It was a day to celebrate everyone who supports students, teachers and education by donating to and being involved with the Jordan Education Foundation. The Foundation held its annual Donor Appreciation Luncheon at the JATC South in Riverton. Guests were able to visit a variety of educational booths which featured different programs donors contribute to, programs that make a big difference in the lives of students and teachers.

The theme of the luncheon was “Lift! WE RISE TOGETHER” JEF Executive Director made the opening remarks welcoming everyone, thanking them for helping to lift students, teachers, classrooms and staff throughout Jordan School District with their donations and support. Superintendent Anthony Godfrey and JEF Board President Dawn Ramsey also talked about the important work donors help to support.

Representatives from United Sounds and Unified Sports also thanked donors for lifting others, like students with special needs, and supporting programs to unite everyone in music and athletics.

The program ended with a moving musical presentation by the Mountain Ridge High School A Cappella Choir under the direction of Kelly Dehaan.

A sincere thank you to donors and to the Jordan Education Foundation for supporting students, teachers and education.

He can bump, set and spike with the best of them and now an Oquirrh Hills Middle School 8^th grade student is making a name for himself in competitive volleyball. Gideon Catmull just helped his team win the silver bracket Championship at a National volleyball tournament in Anaheim, California. That’s after playing with the team for just three months.

As a result of the recent win in California, Gideon and his team members will now compete at the USA National Championship in July.

Way to go Gideon! We are cheering you on for another big win.
