You Belong Week at Riverton High School Brings School Together
This week, lunch at Riverton High School was about more than just food; it was also about finding connection. The school hosted “You Belong Week,” featuring fun games, activities, and contests during the lunch period designed to get students talking and bring them together to find community. Students played minute-to-win-it games, voted on “This or That” discussions, and wrote thank-you notes to friends and classmates to bring students together and make sure everyone in the school feels at home.
Mountain Creek Middle School Shows Heart In Annual Student Body Photo
The annual class drone photo is a highlight of the school year at Mountain Creek Middle School. In previous years, the student body has gathered to spell out “Moose” and “MCMS,” and formed a giant heart, peace symbol, and smiley face. For the 2026 photo, students formed the shape of Utah with a heart in the center.
Thank you to community member Jason Yeaman for volunteering his time and skills to capture the annual drone photo.
