Real Salt Lake Offers Buy-one-get-one-free Vouchers for Wednesday Night Game! (August 26th)
CANYONS SCHOOL DISTRICT TICKET OFFER KIDS EAT FREE VOUCHERS HEADLINE WEDNESDAY NIGHT BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT AT RIO TINTO STADIUM
Canyons School District to Reward Student Attendance with RSL Tickets;
More Than 33,000 Students Across 44 Area Schools
Eligible for “Buy One/Get One Free” to Wednesday’s RSL Game vs. Chivas USA
SANDY, Utah (Monday, Aug. 24, 2009) – Real Salt Lake and Canyons School District today announced that 33,000 students in the newly formed district will be eligible to receive RSL ticket vouchers to celebrate the first day of school and underscore the importance of education.
District Superintendent David S. Doty and Real Salt Lake President Bill Manning today announced a joint “Welcome Back to School!” program in which Rio Tinto Stadium provides “Buy One/Get One Free” vouchers for the team’s Wednesday, Aug. 26 game against Chivas USA for students who attend the first day of class for the 2009-2010 school year.
“We fully support the energy and commitment of Sandy City and the Canyons District have exhibited in building community partnerships and working to find new ways to benefit children,” said Real Salt Lake President Bill Manning. “Our players have worked and studied hard to become the best they can be. With this incentive, those students who are on time and ready to learn on the first day of school can start down the same path.”
Real Salt Lake will also extend a “KIDS EAT FREE!” offer to all children 18 and under on Wednesday night, making vouchers redeemable for a free hot dog, popcorn and soda available at the gates between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.; NO VOUCHERS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AFTER 7:00 p.m. MT.
“We are pleased to partner with Real Salt Lake to mark this historic day and send the message that coming to school and preparing for college and career reaps immediate rewards,” Superintendent Doty said, recognizing that Real Salt Lake will also make tickets available at a discounted group rate to the families of each student. “We’re grateful for the generosity of Real Salt Lake and to share with the organization this vision for our public schools.”
The “Back to School” ticket/attendance program is yet another step forward between Canyons and Real Salt Lake, which earlier this summer hosted Canyons School District Night to help usher in the district’s July 1 kickoff. RSL players also have appeared on various District school campuses as part of the “Keys to Success” program, and will make regular visits to various age groups and discuss a variety of topics throughout the fall on an education/teamwork tour.
“Integral to our mission as a team and as an organization is to be a community citizen which leads by example, a belief we share with the sponsors that make this program possible,” said Manning. “Our partnership with the District, where our players and staff demonstrate the values of education, teamwork, literacy and public service, gives us an opportunity to work on a regular basis with our community’s future.”

Hot Dog Hello: A Success
The PTSA would like to thank all of the folks who worked to make the "Hot Dog Hello" a great success. Parents, teachers and students were welcomed with an outdoor picnic of hot dogs, chips, cookies and drinks.
The flames were flying!
The hot dogs were all eaten :-)
Many parents and teachers joined the PTSA!
All of the dues received go to support very important programs at the school. Membership in PTSA gives parents, teachers and students a voice in important issues that impact our school. If you have not had a chance to join and would like to, there is still time. In fact, you can join any time through out the school year. Annual dues are only $4.00. You can get a form from the office or send your child to school with a paper that states your name, phone number, email and your child's name. Checks can be made to Mount Jordan PTSA. Even if you cannot attend the meetings or if you are short on time, you can still join! Check this site frequently for updates related to your school!
Real Salt Lake generously donated SEVEN soccer tickets! Two families received tickets to two games. Mount Jordan Middle Schoolers and their parents will be enjoying the game against the Chicago Fire and the game against the New York Red Bulls! Thanks to the Real Soccer organization.
Here's to a great start of the school year! Good luck Mount Jordan Mountaineers!

PTA Meeting Minutes from January 6, 2009
January 6, 2009 Mt. Jordan Middle School
PTSA Meeting Minutes
PTSA Meeting Minutes
*Minutes from Last months meeting, December 2nd were read by Sheri Tait.
*The following were in attendance; Sheri Tait, Traci Folkerson, Melissa Neilsen, LaDena
Saxey and Heidi Clark. Ben Lems and Misty Suarez joined us a for a few
minutes at the end of the meeting.
*Harmon’s Days is Tuesday, February 10th. More information to follow, after our next
meeting Tuesday, January 13th at 9:00 am. Need to get more information from Heather Winters at Harmon’s.
*Budget: We are in need of more money! We need to sell the school spirit shirts. A
PTA table needs to be setup at school activities, to sell shirts. Also we will send out a flier with school spirit shirt info. We will give school spirit shirts to the SBO’s to help with advertising. Fridays will be school spirit shirt day, students wearing school shirts will get a treat at lunchtime. We need to get Teachers and faculty to purchase shirts as well.
We have raised about $9,000 for the Marquee at this time, but we still need more money.
*PTSA NEEDS a PTSA newsletter. Sheri has been trying very hard to get a sponsor for
the postage, but to no avail! We will keep working on this. Parents need to be informed about the many things going on with the PTSA and sending fliers home with students is not working! Parents do not get them. So if you know of someone willing to sponsor this let Sheri know.
*PTSA Membership: Our membership is very low and quite an embarrassment! It was
decided that a note and enrollment form needed to be put in all of the teacher’s boxes, to encourage them to join the PTSA! A flier needs to go home to encourage more parent involvement as well.
*Fundraiser: It was decided that the Fun Run would not raise enough money. Next year
we will try to do the 5K run as a community event. (We do not have enough time or the funds to pull this off this year.)
The “Mega Mountaineer All Star Game” will be April 23rd at 6:30 pm. This will be the annual Student vs. Faculty Basketball game. The game will be held in the evening instead of during the school day. Students will be encouraged to attend with parents and family members. Wristbands will be sold during the week of the game, for a dollar. We will also hold a silent auction, tickets will be one dollar. Each Climb Class will be asked to assemble a gift basket for the auction, also PTA members will work on getting donations for movies, dinners, hotels… We will be checking with Harmon’s about donut or cookie coupons for anyone wearing their school spirit shirt. We will have a kickoff assembly on April 2nd.
*Teacher Appreciation week is May 4-8th.
*Student led Parent Conferences are February 24th and 25th – PTSA will be providing meals again.
*Next Meeting: Our next meeting will be Tuesday, January 13th at 9:00 am to discuss
Harmon’s days, and teacher dinners for Student led Conference.
