Live music from touring boy band AfterRomeo played loud and clear as students stood in line to get a burger served to them by their principal, Karl Moody.

Soon every Bonneville Junior High student had found a place on the grass to sit and eat their lunch, bobbing their heads to the beat of popular tunes.

Hello Day events and assemblies in schools throughout the district have set the tone for the upcoming school year by helping students feel welcome. For the next nine months Granite staff will work to serve the educational needs of more than 67,000 students in the Salt Lake Valley.

We look forward to seeing what our students and staff will accomplish during the 2014-2015 school year.
