The three schools that make up Jordan Virtual Learning Academy came together to put on an all-grade art show at Bluffdale City Hall. Students from Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary, Kelsey Peak Virtual Middle, and Kings Peak High showcased their creativity in the visual arts. The works included everything from drawings and paint to ceramics and photography.
You can see the exhibits at Bluffdale City Hall, 2222 W. 14400 S., through Friday, April 26th.
Students at Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School were told their hard work in Walk to Read would pay off and it certainly did with a sweet surprise.
The students took their studying seriously during their Walk to Read groups. They then earned points based on participation and engagement. Students used the points to pie their teachers or to pie the school principal. It was a fun reward for amazing students always eager to learn.
Thanks to Rocky Peak for making learning so much fun.
