Austin Works in Atlana/ Superbowl Weekend

Austin drove through the night in a car with 5 young men from Cedar Hills to Atlanta to sell pest control for The Grit. About 3 hours into his drive, he called and told me he forgot his driver's license. :( I had to run down to the Post Office to overnight it to him so he can have it for testing.

Poor Austin hadn't felt well before he left for Atlanta and it got worse as they drove with his throat on fire and a low grade fever. I felt badly for him but he pushed through.

We had Doug and Dylan Jentzsch and Connie and Ken over for the Super Bowl. It was fun, yet we sure missed Austin.

Jody Presents at USBE Board Meeting

I love to share the success we are experiencing in World Language programs in Alpine School District!

ASD World Languages Facebook/Instagram Post:

ASD’s World Language program was highlighted at the Utah State Board of Education this week. World Language Specialist, Jody Lindsay, shared how teaching for proficiency is developing skills in Utah students to help them lead out in local and global communities.

In 2024, 4% of Utah seniors earned the Utah Seal of Biliteracy. By comparison, 10.8% of Alpine School District seniors earned the Seal.

Results like these stem from consistent access to professional learning and extraordinary teachers who implement new strategies into their classrooms.

Thank you to USBE Board Member Cindy Davis for the invitation to showcase evidence of student learning and to ASD Board Member Joylin Lincoln for her support of PLCs and access to professional learning for ASD teachers. #asdworldlanguages #teachingworldlanguages #alpineschools #sealofbiliteracy

Out and About in schools!

I LOVE running into neighborhood kids when I visit our schools. Here is cute Peyton Casper!

When I was at MVHS, I was ready to leave the principal's office and thought, "I wish I could run into Zoey Floyd." I literally looked into the foyer through the glass windows and THERE SHE WAS!!!!!

Allen Smithee and I were given gifts for the Chinese New Year from the most gracious and generous new Chinese teacher. 

I have the BEST job!
