During a recent professional development day, 45 elementary and middle school PE teachers from Jordan School District received specialized floor hockey training from the Utah Mammoth Youth Program. The training session equipped educators with professional drills and coaching techniques to bring a new level of energy and skill to their schools.
The partnership continues as the Utah Mammoth team prepares to work with schools to co-teach students alongside these instructors. These visits allow students to learn the fundamentals of the game directly from the pros.
This collaboration brings high-quality hockey education to schools throughout JSD.
Join us in sending a round of applause to students in the West Hills Middle School Concert Choir. They performed in the District Advanced Choir Festival this week and their choir director, Michael Draut, says they earned perfect scores from both judges.
After their performance, the talented students visited Sunridge Assisted Living, reconnecting with friends and sharing music that truly mattered. Watching the delighted residents sing along, including 90-year-old Bonnie, made it unforgettable.
Mr. Draut gave a huge shoutout to the choir’s amazing soloists: Sophie Birdsall, Hailey Overdiek, Hannah Pehrson, Andrea Rowberry, Benson Perkins, Quinton Hollingshead, Finley Adamson, and Haley Brady.
Way to go West Hills Concert Choir. Keep on making magical music bringing smiles and happiness to those around you!
Supercast Episode 341
It is a heartwarming partnership between senior citizens and elementary school students, a partnership where seniors from a local assisted living center are showing up and reading with kids in the library.
On this episode of the Supercast, we take you to Oquirrh Elementary School. That’s where we see first-hand how being book buddies is building connections and companionship between the students and seniors, and bridging a generation gap. But best of all, it is inspiring a love for literacy in young children who look forward to the monthly visits from their senior friends.
Riverton High School hosted the 2026 Jordan School District Chinese Culture Festival, bringing together students from across the District to celebrate Chinese language learning and cultural exchange.
The festival included a Chinese language Jeopardy-style competition, cultural activity stations, a student talent show, and a new student and parent panel discussion. During the panel, high school students and parents shared their experiences in the Chinese Dual Language Immersion (DLI) and Bridge programs, encouraging younger students and families to continue studying Chinese through high school and highlighting the opportunities language learning can provide.
Special thanks to Carolyn Gough, Dr. Amanda Bollinger, and Rochelle Waite for presenting awards.
The event was also supported by student leaders from the RMR Chinese Club and the Chinese Bridge programs at Riverton High School and Mountain Ridge High School, who volunteered many hours to help organize the festival, prepare materials, and run activities.
