Student donating blood.They are saving lives thanks to their hard work and dedication donating blood through blood drives organized by Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA).

Copper Hills High students gathered this week for their fourth ARUP blood drive of the school year to benefit patients at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and University of Utah Hospitals. The students managed to donate 130 units of blood, setting a state record for most blood ever collected by a high school in an academic year for ARUP. By breaking the state record, Copper Hills High students alone donated more than 500 units of life-saving blood over the course of this school year. They are very excited and proud of their work, contributing blood products that will forever impact the lives of patients who so desperately need them.

Congratulations, Copper Hills High students and HOSA!

JSD School NursesJoin us in taking some time to say “thank you” to a school nurse today. This is National School Nurse Day. It’s a day to recognize our hard-working school nurses who go above and beyond every single day.

Our nurses are responsible for the health and well-being of thousands of students throughout Jordan School District. School nurses also serve our schools by teaching staff about important health care matters, doing vision screenings, Individual Health Care Plans, treating our students with allergies, diabetes, asthma and many other conditions. They participate in 504 meetings, IEP meetings, State School Nursing meetings, and so much more.

Our school nurses work hard, and do it with smiles on their faces. We could not do the important work we do as a District without our amazing school nurses.

Thank you, school nurses! Keep up the caring and compassionate work you do for students in all of our schools.

Night of Fun, Laughter, Pies in the Face, and Community Support at Aspen Elementary

Aspen Elementary Fun RunIt was a night to remember at Aspen Elementary School as everyone came together to have some fun and support a good cause. The PTA fundraiser “Color Run” was a huge success. Families and others in the Aspen Elementary School community showed up and managed to raise more than $17,000 for the PTA.

Principal Suzie Williams was a good sport, sitting down to get slimed along with several teachers  who had pie thrown in their faces. Even the fire department participated in the fun and everyone had a great time!

Congratulations to everyone involved in supporting the Aspen Elementary School PTA.
