Family-Friendly Fundraising Fun
The Challenge obstacle run is a family-friendly fundraising obstacle course run open to all ages and created to make a difference in Jordan District Classrooms. Sponsored by local businesses and Jordan Education Foundation, 100% of proceeds
go directly toward Classroom Grants
benefiting students & teachers in Jordan District.
At the 2025 Challenge Run we had so much fun, and we were able to raise $20,576
to go towards classroom grants. We look forward to next year's Challenge Run!

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible community for their generosity on the 9/11 National Day of Service. The many donations received will fill Principal’s Pantries across Jordan School District. These pantries provide food and essentials for students who need a little extra support. Thank you to all those who donated and made a difference for our kids!
What a spectacular evening at the Jordan Education Foundation Awards Recognition Banquet! The brand new Salt Lake Bees Ballpark set the perfect stage for a night filled with joy and celebration. We honored our top fourteen “Outstanding Educators of the Year,” and applauded the exceptional talents of our students who received the “Rising Star Scholarship,” “Teri Timpson Legacy Scholarship,” and “Dr. Patrice Johnson Superintendent Scholarship.” First Lady Abby Cox, our guest speaker, and State Superintendent Dr. Sydnee Dickson, our Master of Ceremonies, made the night extra special. Thank you to the JEF Board of Directors, our community sponsors, and everyone who made this night unforgettable!
