They are getting into the spirit of Halloween at JATC South and having a lot of fun in the process. The school held a Halloween-themed gingerbread house decorating and pumpkin carving contest with different programs from the school participating like Fire Science and EMT’s. Nail tech and hair design students put their skills to work creating crazy hair and nails for some really creative costumes.
Great job to everyone participating in the ghostly fun. Students, your talents are spooktacular!
Thanks to the Utah Department of Corrections, students with special needs at the Kauri Sue Hamilton School were all smiles on Wednesday. That’s because corrections officers from the State prison set up a makeshift pumpkin patch in the atrium of the school, complete with hundreds of pumpkins. Students were able to choose their very own Halloween pumpkins, which for some wouldn’t otherwise be possible. The pumpkins are part of the Green Thumb Nursery program at the prison and they are grown by inmates.
Some of the pumpkins were decorated with elaborate designs painted by inmates who typically harvest a crop of about 2,000 pumpkins each year.
Congratulations to the Fort Herriman Middle School Science Department team, which was recently recognized as the Utah Science Teacher Association’s (UtSTA) 2021 Middle School Department of the Year. The award was presented at UtSTA’s annual conference in Provo over the weekend.
Members of the Fort Herriman Middle Science Department have been together for several years and were recognized, in part, for how well they work together as a team, and for being pioneers in creating meaningful PLC’s, developing an inquiry-based curriculum focused on phenomena, 3D science, and the 5 E’s.
Colleagues say the team never stops trying to improve their curriculum and they work tirelessly each year to make it better, always pushing the boundaries to find the most engaging ways to teach science to students.
Thank you for making a difference in education! Keep up the great work, Fort Herriman Middle Science team.
He was a professional musician who once toured with some big-name bands like Dixie Chicks, Survivor and Lynyrd Skynyrd. On this episode of the Supercast, we hear about one man’s path from the professional music stage to teaching in the classroom. Find out how Brian Anderson’s career in rock ‘n roll, led him to the classroom.
It was a Homecoming competition with an educational component for some Herriman High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). The students combined American enterprise concepts with a cookie bake-off for homecoming royalty nominees. The nominees baked some really creative cookies, using in some cases, old family recipies. They also had to design a poster promoting their cookies. The cookies and promotional posters were judged by local business owners who then talked to the FBLA students about building a successful brand and marketing. It was a fun and tasty way to learn about business from local professionals while supporting the homecoming court.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this sweet homecoming cookie competition!
