Bingham High Recognition Assembly is Fun Way to Focus on Student Success

Posted on

It was a great day to be a Miner as students took center stage, being recognized for their success in and outside the classroom. A recognition assembly honored student achievement on sports teams, in clubs, and in academics. But it was members of Unified Sports who stole the show on the hardwood during the assembly. The Unified Sports basketball team took on the boys and girls basketball teams, with the Unified Team taking home a 28-6 victory cheered on by a raucous and supportive student body in “The Pit” at Bingham High.

The Bingham High Unified Sports team now looks to ride the momentum of their big win into the next competition at the Metro Region basketball tournament taking place at the University of Utah in mid-March.

Congrats to the Miners for showing their commitment to ensuring students of all abilities feel accepted and included in activities and opportunities at Bingham High School.

South Valley Students Take a Trip Around the World Without Leaving School

It was an exciting day for South Valley students traveling from Australia to Ukraine, New Zealand, France and far and beyond, without having to leave 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 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. Even West Jordan Mayor Dirk Burton showed up to have some fun traveling from country to country throughout the school.

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!
