They are happy heroes who keep our students nourished, energized, and ready to learn every single day in Jordan School District schools. Today we celebrate the incredible Nutrition Services employees who keep our cafeteria’s running, serving up great food with a side of big smiles and kindness.
Thank you for the early mornings and the care you put into every delicious meal you prepare and serve, and the kindness you show toward students and staff. You truly are heroes in our schools!
Unified athletes took to the gridiron at the Geneva Fields at Utah Valley University to compete at the inaugural Unified Sports flag football tournament. Students representing Copper Hills, Herriman, and West Jordan High Schools were among the 39 teams from across the state to lace up their shoes and toss the pigskin in the name of inclusion, kindness, and understanding through the power of sports.
A special congratulations to the Copper Hills Grizzlies Division 1 team, which went undefeated in its three games, even defeating a team from the University of Utah preparing to play at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, on its way to the championship.

They are spreading kindness and enhancing a positive culture at Daybreak Elementary School. The school even celebrates student kindness with a big parade through the happy halls of Daybreak once a month.
On this episode of the Supercast, find out how Isaac Broadbent, school counselor at Daybreak and a former Daybreak student himself, has stepped in, revamping school wide expectations, and together with the support of teachers, is making kindness rule number one. The work has earned Daybreak a national Kind School designation.
The April 28 Board meeting summary is now available and can be viewed using the following link:
Fifth grade students at Bluffdale Elementary recently demonstrated an impressive command of American government during the “We the People” event at Bluffdale City Hall, led by fifth grade teacher Melanie Fisher. Participating in simulated congressional hearings, students presented prepared statements and fielded complex questions regarding the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The young scholars deeply impressed the judging panel, which included Bluffdale Mayor Natalie Hall, Bluffdale Elementary School Principal Staci Moore, JSD Safety Coordinator and former Army Ranger Matt Alvernaz, and former JSD educator and board-certified teacher Pam Sua, with their poise and articulate responses.
The “We the People” program challenges students to move beyond basic facts to understand the functions of government and the responsibilities of citizenship. We are incredibly proud of these students for their commitment to studying the democratic process and the structure of the United States political system.
Congratulations to Ms. Fisher and Bluffdale Elementary’s fifth grade students for their hard work in being well informed and engaged members of our community!
