Around 100 community members gathered at Sunset Ridge Middle on Saturday morning to witness an annular solar eclipse as it passed over Utah. The school’s staff was there to hand out proper solar viewing glasses and science teachers shared their knowledge of the celestial event.
Sunset Ridge Middle School staff did a great job getting the community together for a fun and educational event. April 8, 2024, will be the next time students in Jordan School District can see an eclipse, with only about 48% of the sun covered while the moon’s shadow passes over the Wasatch Front.

Copper Hills High School Marching Band Shares Their Love of Music with Elementary School Students
The Mighty Marching Grizzlies of Copper Hills High School performed field shows across the school’s boundaries for elementary students. The performances are a way to introduce younger students to instruments and music while getting them excited for future opportunities they will have in high school to participate in marching band.
The group performed their field show, The Last Tango, for students at Hayden Peak, Jordan Hills, Mountain Shadows, Fox Hollow, Oakcrest, and Falcon Ridge. Bad weather forced the cancellation of shows at Antelope Canyon and Copper Canyon, but the band plans to reschedule those performances later on in the school year.
Thank you to all Copper Hills High School’s Marching Band students and staff who gave their time and skills to educate and excite elementary school students.
