We went to the Energy Solutions Arena on a field trip.  We got to go on the basketball court.  We learned that the court is like a giant puzzle with 400-500 interlocking pieces and they can change the floor into a skating rink, a concert stage, or even into a dirt floor for motocross!

The Jazz are facing their “test” and they need the support of their fans.  We are getting ready to take our End Of Level Tests.  We have been taught to just give it your best and work to improve yourself.  We give the same advice to our Jazz players.  In the classroom we try to NEVER give [...]

The snow that finally fell makes it seem a lot more like Christmas!  We have put our own wish lists together and decided to make one for the Jazz.  Here are our Christmas wishes:
For the Bear: We wish Santa would bring you a new Motorcycle, A few new stunts, and an air-conditioned suit!
