Mountain Shadows Elementary Students Celebrate Marvelous Manners

Posted on

There were firm handshakes, polite and cordial introductions, and fabulous conversations all around at the Mountain Shadows Leadership Academy banquet dinner. The dinner was held to celebrate some really amazing students and their successful journey through the school’s Leadership Academy.

Dinner guests were assigned to sit with one student and rate the student on skills like restaurant etiquette, carrying on conversations, active listening, and eye contact. The guests were able to see first-hand how students have honed their leadership skills throughout the school year. They are hoping those skills will make a positive impact on their school and community.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Leadership Academy and banquet dinner. The students demonstrated excellence in their etiquette skills!

Columbia Elementary Receives Generous Grant to Help Cover School Lunch Debt

Posted on

Students at Columbia Elementary School received a big surprise in the form of a really big check during lunch in the cafeteria on Thursday. Columbia was one school selected, from schools around the country, to receive an $11,843 grant to help cover the cost of their rising school lunch debt. It is part of ZEE ZEES and the National Food Group’s “Grab The Tab” grant program, giving student lunch debt relief totaling more than $100,000 to schools in Illinois, Florida, and Columbia Elementary in West Jordan, Utah.

Samantha Bourque, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at National Food Group, said of the grant, “School foodservice is the heartbeat of our local communities, ensuring students are fueled and ready to learn.”

After the check presentation students at Columbia were engaged in an activity where they were asked to come up with ideas for a brand new ZEE ZEES snack they think kids across the country would love.

Thanks to ZEE ZEES and the National Food Group for their generosity, giving schools across the country school lunch debt relief.
