It is a holiday tradition for School Bus Santa and Mrs. Claus to show up and transport students to and from school leading up to the winter break. But this year, the Grinch joined the fun along with a Transportation elf.
Thanks to all of our school bus drivers and Transportation employees for making the season festive and for your kindness and caring for kids throughout Jordan School District.
Happy Holidays!
Every year during the holiday season, high school students throughout Jordan School District give back to their communities by raising money for charitable causes and families in need. They not only give money, but spend countless hours finding unique ways to fundraise in hopes of making the lives of others a little better.
Thank you to all the students and staff who are dedicated to this charitable work.
It will be the experience of a lifetime for two Mountain Creek Middle School students with special needs. Jaymi Bonner, an 8th grade student who plays violin, and Emma Figueroa, an 9th grade student who plays trumpet, will both be representing Utah in the Rose Bowl parade.
On this episode of the Supercast, find out how the students were selected, what it means to them and how excited everyone is for the dynamic duo. We’ll also tell you about a program called “United Sound,” which is proving to be a source of pride and very important to students with special needs and their peer tutors.
It is a community effort like no other bringing hundreds of brand-new beds to students and families going without this winter season. The project, supported by local businesses and sponsored by the Jordan Education Foundation is called “BED’R HOMES FOR KIDS.” The goal is to provide 200 new twin beds, bedding and pillows for deserving students and families who find themselves struggling, often with homelessness.
Jordan Education Foundation Executive Director Mike Haynes, says “When kids have the essentials of life at home, they are better prepared to be successful students.” Getting beds to students who may have never had one, will give them a chance at a good night’s sleep and help them to better concentrate in class at school.
Thank you to everyone involved in this project to improve the lives of local students and families in our area.
It was a magical night for students, teachers and more than 400 guests who gathered for the school’s first ever “Winter Gala.” Over the past three months teacher specialists in visual and musical arts prepared students to take the stage and share their talents.
The school’s older students played instruments as part of a band performance, while the younger students sang musical numbers. Each student showcased their integrated art projects in the hallways.
It was inspiring to see supportive parents and families celebrate their students’ hard work. Even Superintendent Dr. Anthony Godfrey and Board of Education member Jen Atwood stopped by to enjoy the Winter Gala.
Teachers at the school say having the arts integrated into learning every day is having a positive impact on student’s lives and in the school culture.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this magical night at Majestic Arts Academy!
