The gym at Rosamond Elementary School in Riverton City was decked out this week with flags and symbols of the United States Military to honor veterans and their families. The school’s third grade students performed The Armed Forces Medley to recognize each military branch. Students talked about what service in the military
means and what veterans’ sacrifices have done for our country.
In the main hallway of Rosamond Elementary School is a display with photos of family members of students and staff who have served in the armed forces.
Great job to the third grade students and teachers for putting on such an outstanding and patriotic program. What a great way to honor the veterans and their families.
It is a time honored and proud tradition for students, teachers, staff, and parents at Blackridge Elementary School.
On this episode of the Supercast, find out why the Veterans Day program is so special at this school and how they updated it this year to honor a rather new branch of the military. We start with a word from two teachers who are the driving forces behind the production, making it
a family and community favorite year after year.
It was a night to officially pave the way for current and future generations of students at Juniper Elementary School in Herriman. Principal Kaleb Yates led a dedication ceremony at the school. Students greeted guests with big smiles and a warm welcome.
Superintendent Anthony Godfrey talked about the Board of Education’s vision for the unique school serving students in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, allowing families and communities to stay together. Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs and Herriman Mayor Lorin Palmer spoke about the cooperation and collaboration between the two cities and Jordan School District in building a school that best supports students and their education. Finally, Board of Education member Brian Barnett dedicated the school and talked about the strong foundation built at Juniper Elementary, which will serve students and their education for years to come.
Riverton High School recently took first place in the 6A classification of the UHSAA video competition project which seeks to highlight the importance of positive sportsmanship. Audio from the video played before the school’s fall sporting events and will be shown at indoor sporting events this winter. It will also be featured during all UHSAA 6A championship games.
The school was awarded a $1,000 scholarship for the video, which will support students in Riverton’s video production class. The ambitious project, emphasizing inclusivity and community, involved over 80 students, including athletes from Unified Sports.
Josh Luchs, the school’s video production teacher, produced the video in collaboration with the school’s administration and athletic department. Reflecting on the project, Mr. Luchs shared, “The video’s message is that there is no honor in winning if you show bad sportsmanship.” He added that the video isn’t just aimed at student-athletes but at the fans in the stands. The goal is to foster a positive culture surrounding sports and to ensure that respect and sportsmanship are valued as much as success on the field or court.
Great job, Riverton High School, for creating a positive and inclusive environment in sports. This video is a powerful example of what community, positivity, and teamwork can accomplish for everyone attending a 6A championship game or a Riverton High School sporting event.
It was an emotional program honoring veterans, and it was both meaningful and memorable for students, teachers, and staff at Mountain Creek Middle School. Each year on Veterans Day, the school makes sure military veterans are not forgotten by paying tribute to them in a special way.
This year, they honored 12 veterans from the local community. Military personnel from Camp Williams led a flag ceremony and the National Anthem was performed by the Mountain Creek Middle orchestra. Esesra Leota, a military veteran who was honored during the program, played a military medley on bagpipes, taps, and reveille (a bugle call that marks the beginning and end of the day on a military base). There were also remarks from Principal Mike Glenn and Major Norm Rentschler.
We are proud of Mountain Creek Middle School for going above and beyond with this program honoring those who serve to protect our freedoms.
