Thank you to all of Jordan School District’s hard-working Nutrition Services employees who served up a Thanksgiving feast with a side of smiles in honor of the holiday, like they did at Westvale Elementary School. You made Thanksgiving special for students, teachers, and staff this year and we are filled with gratitude for the delicious food you prepare each and every day.

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone in Jordan School District. We hope you have a happy, safe, and restful holiday surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones.

It was a day devoted to celebrating Thanksgiving in a big way at Golden Fields Elementary School. First, students dressed up for a fun turkey trot up and down the halls of the school. Then they took the stage and sang their little hearts out as part of a Turkey Tunes assembly. Finally, the students had more fun in their very own version of a Golden Fields’ Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone hand-made balloon characters and creative themes to float down the halls as part of the parade.

We are thankful for all of the teachers and staff who helped to make the Golden Fields Thanksgiving celebration one to remember.

Happy Thanksgiving from Golden Fields Elementary School!

There were lots of frozen turkeys taking a tumble down the gymnasium floor at the South Valley School. That’s because the gym was turned into a temporary turkey bowling alley for the school’s Thanksgiving party. The party was complete with music from a DJ and students doing the “Strike Dance” and the “Spare Dance.” They all cheered each other on in the bowling event and made fun memories they will take to the Thanksgiving turkey table.

Happy Thanksgiving from students and staff at the South Valley School.

It was an afternoon of great fun and gratitude for about 350 families. The families received full Thanksgiving meals thanks to the generosity of the Utah Jazz and the Jordan Clarkson “JC Cares Foundation”. The meals were distributed at Heartland Elementary School with help of volunteers, the Jordan Education Foundation, and Heartland principal Buddy Alger and his staff.

The Jazz star player, Jordan Clarkson himself, showed up at Heartland Elementary, along with Phoenix Suns’ star Devin Booker, to meet with families, take pictures, sign autographs, and to serve up lots of smiles.

Thanks to Jordan Clarkson, the Utah Jazz, Devin Booker, and all the volunteers for making Thanksgiving happen for those who may have otherwise gone without. You are hero’s working for kids and their families in our communities!
