Happy National Teacher Appreciation Week!

Posted on

Please take the time to give Jordan School District teachers a big thank you this week as we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week 2023.

This is a week for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make in the lives of students. We thank all JSD teachers for their kindness, generosity, and patience working with students. We honor teachers for their dedication to the job and willingness to try new things.

We also want to thank our substitute teachers for the important work they do in our classrooms, supporting education and students throughout the District.

We appreciate JSD teachers every single day!

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.
