It was a special night for some Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School students, their families, and Principal Ross Menlove. The Bluffdale City Council and Mayor Natalie Hall took time to recognize five students for their exemplary dedication to learning in school. Each student was addressed individually by Mayor Hall.
Congratulations, Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary students. Keep up the great work, with great teachers inspiring a love for learning every day!
It was an exciting day for South Valley students traveling from Thailand to India, Samoa, and beyond, without leaving their school. During “Flying Around the World Day,” each classroom represented a different country, educating students about the culture and offering a taste of the region with food samples as well. The students traveled from country to country, visiting classrooms exploring the various country’s traditional colors, flags and clothing, giving them an opportunity to explore different cultures from around the world.
Staff played the role of pilots and flight attendants stamping passports as students traveled from one country to another inside the individual classrooms.
What a fun and engaging way for students to learn about different countries and cultures. Congratulations to everyone at South Valley for giving students such a rich and memorable experience!
It is a full day set aside for students, teachers, and staff in Jordan School District to prioritize their health and wellness at home and in school. The second annual Health and Wellness Day is Friday, February 10 and while there will be no school for students that day, they are invited to participate in the Wellness Quest with family and friends.
On this episode of the Supercast, we explain what the Wellness Quest is and how something called the “SELFIE’” model is at the heart of the Wellness Quest curriculum.
It was an evening of fun with cultural presentations, educational games, food, and a fantastic program. Jordan School District students organized an authentic Chinese New Year celebration where people were invited to browse interactive cultural exhibits, participate in games, and take in amazing displays. Delicious food was also available from Fatty Tuna and Panda Express.
Thanks to everyone involved in organizing the celebration and to students, teachers, staff and members of the community for attending and making this Chinese New Year event such a success.
