West Jordan Middle School Students Explore Democracy
This semester, the West Jordan Middle School 9th grade American Institutions and Issues class dove into the foundations of government and the importance of elections during a school field trip. To bring the studies to life, teacher William Shields organized a visit to the Utah State Capitol, where former Representative Elizabeth Weight led them on an insightful tour. Students learned about the history of the Capitol and had the chance to ask questions about topics like the Electoral College and voting rights.
Next, they visited the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office, where Salt Lake County Clerk Lannie Chapman discussed the election process, voting security, and the importance of reliable ballot counting. Students witnessed the tabulation and processing of mail-in votes.
The trip was an incredible opportunity for students to engage with elected officials and understand the vital systems that support democracy. Great job, Mr. Shields, for creating and providing such a meaningful experience for your students.

For some students it is the experience of a lifetime and something they will never forget. About 4,800 Jordan School District 4th graders were treated to a concert by the Utah Symphony Orchestra, performing at Mountain Ridge High School. The 87 full-time musicians love to reach out to young students and show them how a love for music, hard work, and dedication to achieving goals can lead to great things. The Utah Symphony Orchestra is considered one of the top professional orchestras in the United States.
Thanks to the Utah Symphony for the beautiful music and inspiring young students to reach for the stars.
