Jordan Education Foundation

It was a great pleasure for me this week to visit three different grade schools in the Salt Lake Valley to present checks, in the form of mini-grants, to pay for special projects. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving on the board of the Jordan Education Foundation, and it is even more rewarding to see up close and personal the wonderful service the teachers and administrators provide for our children. One class I visited was providing learning opportunities to severely handicapped children. I marveled at the wonderful progress these students were making under the tuteledge of very talented and very dedicated teachers. The second visit was to a faculty meeting where the teachers receiving the mini-grants described their different projects. They had 47 teachers serving over 1100 students in this school. I marveled at the dedication of these teachers and administrators. Finally, I visited a grade-school, where a very dedicated music teacher was leading a band of grade-schoolers in an assembly celebrating the music of the season. It was wonderful. Again, it looked like there must have been 1000 or more students in this school. With such wonderful teachers and administrators in the Jordan School District, I know that good things are going to continue to happen. Thanks to all those that serve in the Jordan School District.
