The photography class embarked on a field trip to Dreamscapes, an interactive art museum located in the heart of The Gateway. The museum, constructed by local artists using donated materials, offers a unique experience with each room featuring a distinct theme designed to evoke emotion.

Students were captivated by the interactive elements within each room. Highlights included rooms with interactive games and color-changing buttons. The main attraction, a massive ball pit within a makeshift forest, proved to be a popular spot. Adjacent to the ball pit, a tunnel illuminated by strobe lights added to the immersive experience. Daxton Reid, a student on the trip, commented, "I thought the museum had a lot of cool elements that made the experience great."

The day's adventures extended beyond the museum. The class enjoyed a lively game of heads-up on the train ride. Upon arrival, students indulged in a variety of treats, with one student savoring a Nashville hot chicken sandwich.

The journey to the museum was marked by a sudden downpour, leaving the students thoroughly drenched. Despite the unexpected weather, the trip was deemed a success. The photography class expressed their appreciation for the teachers who organized the memorable outing.

The parking lot transformed into a Halloween wonderland last Saturday as the community gathered for the annual Trunk or Treat. Cars lined up side to side, each one decked out. Students, teachers, and families roamed around the parking lot, filling up on candy. Some are not even there for candy but for the love of the game. There were also plenty of other things going on, like booths, games, and the best part, food.

We had plenty of the school show up and show out. Several clubs participated, including (SOS, Dance Co, Tennis, and Girls Basketball, who courteously hosted the event, Boys Basketball, POP Club, Drill, and Latinos in Action). The friendly competition of having a better trunk than anyone else definitely made people go all out this year.

Beyond all the fun and sugar rush, the annual trunk or treat showed the strong sense of the West Jordan community. Big thanks to everyone who came and who helped out, and of course, a hand of applause for the Girls' Basketball team and all they do for the school.

This year’s JagBash was filled with fun activities and delicious food, preparing students to show their school spirit at the Homecoming game. There were many clubs there, each having its own activities and prizes. Some of the clubs there included SOS, Asian Alliance, the Basketball and Swim teams, and countless more. Even with all of these activities, the main attraction was the delicious hot dogs grilled by the SBOs. They offered these to attendees for free, plus a drink and a bag of chips.

We had the opportunity to interview some people who were in attendance. One of them being Kyler Tran, who is an SBO for the school. Kyler says he loves JagBash because “It brings the whole community together.” We asked him what his favorite things are at JagBash. He replied, “Free food and spending time with my friends.” He was super excited for the school dance and considers himself a party guy.

We also interviewed Austin Avis, a member of the community and a student at West Jordan High School. We asked him what his favorite activity at JagBash was, and he seemed to really enjoy eating the scones. We also asked him which Homecoming activity he liked the best, and he replied with, “Definitely the football game.”

Finally, we ended with the greatest principal of all time, Hutch. He said, “I love the game and how people come out to celebrate with each other."  His favorite part of the week is the Pep Rally, and we asked him to elaborate on that. Hutch responded with “People come out to support our school and everyone involved with the pep rally, plus the fireworks and burning of the Dub J.” We asked him one final question. How can JagBash improve next year? He said, “I want the watermelon eating contest to come back, 2 time champ by the way. I want more people to come out and have more fun.”
