Help Hungry Kids during school closures
Thanks to many generous donors, Jordan Education Foundation has established a PRINCIPAL’S PANTRY in EVERY one of our 61 schools! These pantries supply extra food items for the weekend or even a small snack during school hours. More than 7000 student families access Principal’s Pantries on a weekly basis with many more who need help but don’t ask for it.
With recent, state mandated school closures and surrounding circumstances, student hunger is on the rise while school is out of session. When school is out, student hunger goes up!
During this time of school dismissal, Jordan School District is providing “GRAB-AND-GO” school breakfast and lunch at elementary schools Monday-Friday. To complement the District, Jordan Education Foundation is able to provide additional food items to address hunger beyond these two meals. However, this increase in distribution has diminished typical resources, making it difficult to address student needs at this precarious time.
JEF Outstanding Education
Support Professional
All Jordan District schools and department heads are invited to nominate one non-teaching/support staff employee for recognition. Jordan Education Foundation Board of Directors will select up to five individuals to be recognized as the 2020 Outstanding Education Support Professional Employees.
