Students, teachers, staff, and families all came together for an evening of fun at Joel P. Jensen Middle School. It was the first ever “Fall Fest” organized by the school. Every department and student group was represented with engaging and interactive booths lining every hall. There were music and dance performances by Joel P. Jensen students, even dinner was provided. West Jordan Police and Firefighters joined in and JATC South Hair Design and Nail Tech students set up tables offering their services for free at “Fall Fest.”

It was a great night for the Joel P. Jensen community. Congratulations to everyone involved for making the evening such a success!

It was a special honor for some amazing Jordan School District students in the JATC South Fire Science program. They were invited to perform the flag ceremony at the National ACTC Best Practices and Innovations Conference in downtown Salt Lake City. The ceremony included the playing of bagpipes. Students in the Honor Guard represent various high schools in the District and we couldn’t be more proud of the poise and professionalism they displayed before a national crowd.

Congratulations to the following:

• Trinity Grubb, Bingham High School
• Bryce Badell, Herriman High School
• Jacob Ngatuvai, Bingham High School
• Jay Larsen, Mountain Ridge High School
• Charley Utley, Bingham High School
• Zera McOmie, Copperhills High School (Bagpipes)

It was an experience to remember for thousands of Jordan School District students at this year’s 7th Grade Agriculture Day and Fox 13 got in on the fun. Morning show reporter Rich Bonaduce and photographer Doug Eldredge captured memorable moments with students and some of the animals making an appearance at the event held at the Utah State University Bastian Agricultural Center.

7th Grade Agriculture Days is an opportunity for students to spend two days learning about agriculture and its impacts on their lives. The event brings specialists from dozens of different agricultural-related organizations together with business to provide a hands-on educational experience. Students learned about different professions in the ag industry as well as how food makes its way from farms to the dinner table.

Great job to everyone involved in organizing such an engaging, hands-on event!
