It is a program bringing students of all abilities together creating a fast and meaningful path to fun, friendship, and understanding. First Lady Abby Cox was on hand to help kick off Jordan School District’s annual “Unified Golf” event. It is part of the “Show Up for Unified Sports” initiative led by the First Lady and Special Olympics of Utah.

“Unified Golf” is an opportunity for middle school students of all abilities, those with special needs and their peers, to come together as friends and have some fun. The Glenmoor Golf Course was host to this amazing event. Students were all smiles receiving lessons in things like swinging a golf club, putting, and just enjoying the game and each other.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the Unified Golf event one to remember!

The suits were sharp, and the dresses were elegant as students at Kauri Sue Hamilton School went all out for their annual Starlight Dance Prom. The school atrium was decorated with a space theme, befitting the shining stars at Kauri Sue, who celebrated the upcoming end to the school year by dancing the night away.

Thank you to everyone who made the event a night filled with smiles, pictures, and unforgettable memories for the wonderful students at Kauri Sue Hamilton School.

Jordan Virtual Learning Academy’s three schools have united for an all-grade art show at Bluffdale City Hall, featuring student artwork from Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary, Kelsey Peak Virtual Middle School, and Kings Peak High School. The exhibition highlights various artistic expressions, including drawings, paintings, ceramics, and photography.

The works are on display at Bluffdale City Hall, 2222 W. 14400 S., until Friday, May 23rd.

Prom night was especially memorable this year at West Jordan High School, thanks to thoughtful students who organized a pre-prom “Self-Care Event” designed to help their classmates look and feel their best, without the high price tag. The event was filled with free services and giveaways to make sure everyone had the chance to attend prom with confidence.

Students were treated to various free services like haircuts, styling, braiding, wigs, manicures, lash lifts, eyebrow tinting, teeth whitening, and waxing. The event also provided free prom dresses, suits, jewelry, and custom corsages and boutonnièrs supplies. It was all in preparation for the West Jordan High School prom.

The event was organized by student peer leaders from “Sources of Strength,” a program that promotes connection and well-being at the school. Led by teacher Robyn Briggs, the group partners with community members to make experiences at the school unforgettable.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this inspiring celebration of kindness.
