Jordan Ridge Elementary PTA

Goal reached. Principal slimed!

Our Jordan Ridge community raised over $35,000 for the Jog-a-thon, so we got to SLIME our principal, Mrs. Lovell! Ms. Epperson joined in the fun, too, as the teacher whose class raised the most! Thank you both for being such great sports!

A huge thank-you to our donation sponsors: Crazy Corn Maze, Menchie’s, and Utah’s Hogle Zoo!

And THANK YOU to everyone who donated! Your generosity made this possible, and we’re so grateful for your support of our students and school!

What a turnout!
We had SUCH an amazing crowd at our Books & Breakfast event! Thank you so much to everyone who came out and spent the morning with us. We loved seeing so many of our Eagles and their families enjoying breakfast, shopping the book fair, and spending time together!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the morning such a success. We’re so grateful for our Jordan Ridge community!

Our Jordan Ridge Jog-a-thon was a huge success!

We set a goal of $35,000, and our Eagles raised $36,352.80! Way to go, Eagles! Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make the event such a success. We have the best community!

A special shoutout to Mrs. Epperson’s class for raising the most of any class! Stay tuned to see our principals and Mrs. Epperson get slimed on Monday!

We still have a handful of Book Fair volunteer spots to fill!

The Book Fair is coming to Jordan Ridge, and we’d love your help keeping shelves stocked and running the registers during the fair. If you have some time to spare, please sign up for any shift that works for you!

As a thank-you, volunteers can choose a complimentary book (up to a $15 value) for each shift they volunteer!

Thank you for helping make our Book Fair a success!

Calling all JRE artists, creators & storytellers!

The 2026–2027 PTA Reflections Contest is here! This year’s theme is:

🌎 “What My Culture Means to Me” 🌎

Reflections gives students the chance to express their creativity through Dance Choreography, Music Composition, Photography, Film Production, Literature, or Visual Arts. Students create an original work inspired by this year’s theme, and entries can even advance for recognition at the state and national levels!

Start brainstorming, creating, writing, dancing, filming, or snapping those photos! We can’t wait to see what our Jordan Ridge students create.
