Every year the Jordan Education Foundation provides holiday gifts for teens who would otherwise go without in the Jordan School District community through an event called “Christmas for Kids.” This year the Foundation is once again working with Walmart in South Jordan to provide a holiday shopping spree for a record 500 teens in need.

In order to serve the record number of students in need this year “Christmas for Kids” is reaching out to the community for help. Event organizers still need donations for the purchase of gifts and/or adult volunteers to chaperone teens while they shop.

This is an opportunity to bring joy to students who simply need a little extra support this holiday season with the gift of things like a warm coat, hat, shoes, blankets or boots thanks to a caring community.

If you or your organization would like to donate or provide adult volunteers please visit www.jefchristmasforkids.org. You can also contact the Jordan Education Foundation directly at 801-567-8125.

South Valley School students wanted to do something significant to help each other out this holiday season. So, they organized a big food drive for their own school’s Principal’s Pantry, to make sure there would be enough food for families in need over the long winter break. Student body officers also wanted to make a big visual impact by storing everything they collected inside Principal Rita Bouillon’s office and sharing a photo of the growing number of boxes and carts of food each day. The goal was to pack enough food items into Principal Bouillon’s office that she would be boxed in. They accomplished that goal!

Working together, 155 students collected more than 2000 food items to fill the Principal’s Pantry. They also received a $300 cash donation!

Congratulations to all of the students involved on a job well done taking care of families in the South Valley School community. We hope Principal Bouillon works her way out of her office soon.
