Jordan Hills Elementary School Reading Day
2023-05-03 12:30 - 14:30 | Jordan Hills Elementary School, 8892 S 4800 W, West Jordan, UT, 84081, United States
Max attendance: 10 troopers, 5 spotters.
NOTE: We are implementing a new raffle system for limited-attendance events. Facebook commits that don’t also commit here will not be counted . If more than 10 troopers (or 5 spotters) sign up, a raffle will be held to see who gets to go. We’ll give it at least a week from initial posting before holding the raffle.
No blasters.
Jordan Hills elementary school wants us back, last year was a huge hit.
Each character will be escorted by 2 students to classrooms where they will read from a short star wars book ( selected at arrival ) and engage with students by reading and answering questions after and taking pictures if they like.
These will be approximately 15 minute intervals, with the trooper visiting up to 6 different classrooms. The purpose is to strengthen the importance of reading in a fun and engaging way that the students don’t get often and gives the teacher a bit of a break. Remember you will be reading out loud. If you wear a helmet and don’t have a microphone/can’t see, this probably isn’t for you.
There is parking in the school parking lot and if by chance it is full there is a local LDS chapel on the other side of the street that can be used to park and walk across.
Changing area will be on the stage , there are no mirrors or bathrooms on the stage area, make sure you use the facilities before getting changed :-).
The school said last year it was one of the best activities they have had in some time, the students and teachers both appreciated the break from the normal routine.
Please arrive 30 minutes early.

The time is completely flexible and we can do morning or afternoon. School hours are 8am-2:30pm. Ideal times would be 9:30am or 1:00pm, but we are flexible. We would only need an hour to an hour and a half. This year’s reading theme is: READ. This is the way.
Once we have an idea of approx. how many characters, we can get a survey sent over to get character shirt sizes and any allergies for lunch. Looking forward to it! Thank you!

Hello!
I am with a Girl Scout service unit in Northern Utah called Suncrest, and you helped us a couple of years ago at our Leader/Daughter Camp at Trefoil Ranch in Provo Canyon – we had a Star Wars themed camp. There were about 7 or so of you that were able to come in costume to take pictures etc with us. There was someone that had built a BB8 that was a past Girl Scout as well and the girls really loved that so much! It was such a hit!
We are doing a Sith themed camp in 2023 and it will be May 5-7 again in Provo canyon.
We are wondering if you would be able to help us again? We would ask for Sith or Empire if possible, but in all honesty we would love anyone to come! Please let me know if we can make this work.
Thank you so much!

JDRF One Walk Utah
2023-05-20 08:00 - 12:00 | The Shops at South Town, 10450 S State St, Sandy, UT, 84070, United States
The JDRF Mountain West Chapter is hosting the JDRF One Walk Utah on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at the Shops at South Town in Sandy, Utah. We expect our event to attract nearly 5,000 walkers and raise more than $500,000 to support type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Every year, 40,000 people in the United States alone are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Besides coping with a lifelong dependence on insulin, these adults and children must face the constant threat of devastating and life-threatening complications. T1D requires intensive, 24/7 management. There are no days off, and there is no cure.
JDRF is the leading global organization funding T1D research. JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. As the largest charitable supporter of T1D research, JDRF has funded over $2.5 billion in research funding since 1970 and is currently funding research in more than 20 countries worldwide. For more information on our organization, please visit https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jdrf.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cjbeveri2%40gmu.edu%7C234bda3fcc284be2bec208db1b479d1c%7C9e857255df574c47a0c00546460380cb%7C0%7C0%7C638133766616313706%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sDUJEqJ00gB%2FKCubPZuX1Wri80CPS%2FhW6Mb9kUrPjZk%3D&reserved=0.
