It's just really cool. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. They have dedicated their lives to celebrating culture, community, and academic achievement, and now they've made it to graduation, receiving well-earned high school diplomas. On this episode of the Supercast, meet some multi-talented Native American students who were part of an annual Jordan School District Community Night, celebrating culture through traditional dance, music, a dynamic drum circle, art, and more. Hear how the Native American students hope to use their academic success to serve as a springboard for future pursuits and personal growth. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: We're here at West Jordan Middle School talking with two of our students who are part of the Native American program tonight. Introduce yourselves and tell us a little bit about what this night is all about. DJ: Hello, I am DJ. I am part of the West Jordan High School Affinity Club, and I am here selling beadwork. We came here to present some of the beads that we have presented that our students or some of the people in our club have made. So all these beads or everything you see on the table that we have behind us has been made by our hands. We also came here to present to see other and just can't wait to see like the diversity we see here in different tribes. EJ Jones: Hi, I'm EJ Jones. I'm one of the members of the West Jordan Affinity Club, and yes, we are selling bracelets that are made by our wonderful students. Not only do we not just have bracelets, we also have earrings and phone chains for by wonderful students of ours that joined our club, and I'm so glad to see so many people here tonight because it's like a wonderful experience. Anthony Godfrey: What does it mean to you both to be part of the Native American Affinity Group at your school? Student: It brings us, what it means to us is it just brings us a lot of joy. It means of being part of something, being together with people of any race, being whether you're Native American, Mexican, but it's just bringing together togetherness and just seeing the different diversities that you see or ethnicities. It's just really cool and being part of that club really immerses you into a whole new world where you've never seen. You see like these different creative backgrounds between different people, different stories, and it's just wonderful to see that. Student: Yeah, it's just honestly, this club to us honestly just shows us what, that you don't have to be a Native American to join it. You can just join it to show, we can like show you what us Native Americans do and you can show us what you do just so we all can connect as one person. Anthony Godfrey: As you mentioned, anyone can be a part of the group and really it's about connecting with each other and feeling a part of the broader school. Students: Yeah, exactly. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about some of the experiences you've had through the Native American program. I know that there was a drum making class recently. What are some of the things that have happened as a result of the program and place here in Jordan? Student: So of course the drum making class, I can't put a finger on exactly a lot of the events, but I know like we've gone on a field trip sometimes to see like different like, I think it was the Natural History Museum. That was pretty fun and it's just it, and this program just brings you to like, it brings you to a whole new world. Anthony Godfrey: You mentioned the diversity of tribes here tonight. Do you know which tribes are represented? Student: Navajo is definitely a big one. I know that maybe Ute, probably Apache, Shoshone, and just like there's so many to name that I just can't keep, but there's probably quite a bit that are here tonight that are being represented and some that are wanting to shine out more. Anthony Godfrey: I think that's really exciting that so many tribes are represented and I love this program in the way that graduates are honored with a sash and just with a recognition for all of your accomplishments. How does it feel to be at this stage? You know, if this, if this represents your, your education, you're right here, you're right at the last few weeks as a senior, how does it feel to be honored tonight? Student: It feels very like, like it feels very like surreal. It just feels like it's like it just all went by so quick and it's just like being here is like, you're actually like, “oh my gosh, it's like happening.” Like it's, it just immerses you into a whole new world and you're just like, “oh my gosh, what's like, it's happening now.” It's like, you just like, it like, “where did the time go? Where did the things go?” It just flew by so quick. Anthony Godfrey: So, well it only goes by faster and faster. What's next for you? Student: Straight to college. I'm going to community college first to get my general education done. Anthony Godfrey: Do you know what you want to study beyond that? Student: I know I want to study computer science and then hopefully become a teacher. Anthony Godfrey: Wonderful. Student: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Well, we'll watch for you coming back to Jordan School District. Student: Okay then. Anthony Godfrey: All right, thanks very much for talking with us. Student: Thank you so much. Anthony Godfrey: Stay with us when we come back. More with the Jordan School District Community Night celebrating our Native American students.

Join us today at JordanVirtual.org. Anthony Godfrey: Now we're going to come into the gym at West Jordan Middle School and watch some round dances with participants from across the District. Brenda Villal : Thank you so much for joining us today. I'd like to introduce myself in the traditional way that my people introduce themselves. [Native language] Brenda Villal : I just said that my name is Brenda Villal and I am born into the Salt Clan, born for the Taurine House people, and my maternal grandparents are the Edgewater people, and that is how I identify as a woman, as a mother, and as a friend. Do I have any relatives here today? Is there any? There we go. Someone is Ashia or is it Kiaani? So, welcome. Thank you so much to Ami for allowing us to come and lead this round dance. The round dance is done all over the United States and Canada and beyond. It is a social dance that is done to show community and connection. And take a look at the circle. The circle shows that all are equal. This young girl here is equal to this tall man right over there with the tie. This young girl here is equal to this person over here in the blue suit. So a circle brings everyone together in an equal place or an equal space. The round dance is a social dance. Everyone is invited to participate. We always go in a clockwise direction and we usually hold hands and we love to have everyone participate if they would like to. If there are people that don't fit in the circle, just come grab somebody's hand and we'll make the circle bigger for you so that you all get to be a part of it. [Music] [Music] Hello. My name is Brenda Villal and that's the way I identify. I am Dineh. I am born into the Salt Clan. I'm born for the Towering House people. Today or tonight we were able to experience the Native American round dance. The only dance that we have found that the eight sovereign nations within Utah, the only dance that can be done that where everyone is invited to participate. But it is important for these nations to have a Native American representative either host or lead. We write educational resources. We co-create with the eight sovereign nations to change the narrative about indigenous people here within Utah. And tonight we were able to share the Native American round dance. We were very fortunate to have a drum group by the name of Red Spirit join us here in this beautiful building for all of the children and parents and staff in Jordan School District to experience the round dance. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: We also have the Native American mentor here with us from Jordan School District Introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about this program and what it involves. Steve Hawkins: Sure. I'm Steve Hawkins and I'm the high school mentor in the District for Native American students. The big goal of the program is to help students pursue their educational and vocational goals in a culturally sensitive way to help them retain a sense of culture, be exposed to their own Native culture and strengthen that within the education system. One thing you should know is these kids are scary overachievers. You'd be very proud of them, Dr. Godfrey. They, the average GPA for our Native students is 3.0. Herriman High School students have a 3.5 GPA. The Native students there, two of them have 4.0. Anthony Godfrey: Oh that's awesome. Steve Hawkins: And also so many of the students are deeply involved in the JATC like DJ, who you just met, has learned computer programming at the JATC and 10 of our students have had a fantastic experience there and prepared for careers after high school. Anthony Godfrey: How many Native American students would you say do we have at any given high school? Steve Hawkins: West Jordan and Copper Hills have quite a few, about 30 each. Our lowest number is probably at Riverton with five. So, I'd say probably the average is 15 to 20. Anthony Godfrey: To me that just makes it so much more important for you to be there to connect and make sure that in schools of thousands of students that they connect with the broader community and don't lose the sense of personal identity, and in fact, enrich their sense of personal identity. Steve Hawkins: Yeah, and that's really the goal of the program particularly like you said is identifying with their culture and continuing to connect with that. That's why we did drum making which is not just making an instrument but there's a whole discussion on the spiritual and cultural relevance of it and it was a great experience. The kids were engaged from the very start to the very end. Anthony Godfrey: On a night like this, beyond what we do as a District and the work you do as a mentor, we see the support from families and from the broader community and the donations that come in and of the booths that are here. Describe a little bit of the family and community connection that's created. Steve Hawkins: One thing you'll see when you talk Native families is they are so close. Not only the parents are inspiring their kids pushing them to educate pushing them to get educated to achieve but they're also very tied in with their aunties and their grandparents and there's this wonderful sense of family values and community among the Native Americans here as witnessed by all the people who are here. The community itself has also been incredibly supportive. We have got thousands and thousands of dollars of prizes donated from retailers in the community in support of our Native students. Anthony Godfrey: It grows every year and it's really fun. I really look forward to it this time of year. What do you love most about being a mentor for our Native American students in high school? Steve Hawkins: Oh by far the best part is just to sit down and talk with them one-on-one and find out how life is going, how school is going and hear about their plans. These kids have great vision. It's really impressive that they are so capable of expressing themselves, that they have goals, they know what they want to do and they also know where they're there as they haven't decided yet, which of course who knows at 15 right? Anthony Godfrey: Sure, sure. Steve Hawkins: But they're just they're the kind of people that give you really hope for your country and your world just talking to them. Anthony Godfrey: I love that. That's what working with youth is all about. So well thank you for everything that you do and for talking with us tonight. We have a great night ahead of us. Steve Hawkins: It's a pleasure. Thank you. [music] Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Supercast. Remember, “Education is the most important thing you'll do today!” We'll see you out there.

Oreti Beach is one of Southland's most iconic stretches of coastline, 26 kilometres in length, the bay lies between the town of Riverton and the outflow of the Aparima River. It's a place made famous by motorcycling legend Burt Munro who used it as his personal speedway while training to set his land speed records. Records that still stand to this day But now there's a growing debate about its future, with locals calling for the beach to be closed at night because of dangerous driving, fires, vandalism and other antisocial behaviour. Local Joyce Kolk joins us to explain what's going on.

Today's conversation is about something every business owner feels but not always knows how to navigate: regulation, policy, and having a voice in the system.

They are identical twins with an identical goal, getting the very best out of high school athletes on the Riverton High School girls lacrosse team. On this episode of the Supercast, meet identical twin sisters Hannah and Maddie Kelleher who recently led the Riverton High girls lacrosse team to their very first state championship title. It was a hard-fought victory that came down to the wire in overtime. But the winning didn't stop there, the team had something else to celebrate as Coach Hannah Kelleher was named the 2026 Utah USA Girls Lacrosse Coach of the Year. Audio Transcription Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about this team in particular. Student: I mean it's like just such a special group. It is like how can I go and be successful for the team. Student: We all like sisters, we all support each other. Student: We just knew this year, like before the season even started all the seniors just got together. We decided like hey, let's just make this the best year ever. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. They are identical twins with an identical goal, getting the very best out of high school athletes on the Riverton High School Girls Lacrosse team. On this episode of the Supercast, meet identical twin sisters Hannah and Maddie Kelleher, who recently led the Riverton High Girls Lacrosse team to their very first state championship title. It was a hard-fought victory that came down to the wire in overtime, but the winning didn't stop there. The team had something else to celebrate as Coach Hannah was named the 2026 Utah USA Girls Lacrosse Coach of the Year. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: We are at Riverton High School on the field talking with two of the Riverton Girls Lacrosse coaches. Introduce yourselves. Coach Hannah: I'm Coach Hannah, I'm the head coach here at Riverton. Coach Maddie: I'm Coach Maddie, and I'm the assistant coach. Anthony Godfrey: So if you can't tell by listening to their voices, they are twins, and they are incredible. They just won, here at Riverton, the first Girls Lacrosse state title. Tell us how that feels to be part of that. Coach: Oh, I mean it feels great. Like, I mean, we told the girls because we had the privilege of doing it at Herriman when we were played over there in 2019. And it's like, I'm like, it's the best day ever. Coach: Seriously, like, it's all that hard work. It's like finally coming to fruition and to have been able to make history with this group of girls, like, I mean, it's something we've been working on for three years now. And so to have finally seen it happen, like, it's just so, so awesome. Coach: Yeah, I mean, just to add on to that awesome feeling, awesome group of girls, I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else. And so it's just an awesome feeling, so exciting. And to see all the girls' hard work come like to this, it's just awesome. Anthony Godfrey: So you were players at Herriman, and you won the state title there. And in 2019, which, because it was pre-pandemic feels like prehistoric to me. That was not long after lacrosse had been sanctioned, probably. So tell me about the timeline. Coach: Yeah, so 2019, it was actually the year before it got sanctioned. Anthony Godfrey: Okay. Corch: So that was when they still had like the divisions. So you'd have Division 1, Division 2, Division 3 championship instead of having it by class. 6A, 5A, 4A. And so we were Division 1 state champions, which was awesome. Played Park City. So yeah, that was kind of this timeline there. Then 2020 is when it got sanctioned. And word on the street was we were going to go back-to-back, but we'll never know. We'll never know. Anthony Godfrey: We'll never know. I'm going to just say that you went back to back. In our hearts. In our hearts you went back to back. So tell me about the evolution of the sport since you played at Herriman the last year that it was not sanctioned. And tell me how it's grown and how it's evolved over time. Coach: I mean, I think the biggest thing that you see is there's a lot more players now. Back when it was pre-sanctioned, schools would have to kind of combine sometimes. So especially the schools up north, like it would be like Davis and Northridge. They didn't have enough to fill their two separate teams, so they would combine. And so I think with the sanctioning, it's getting a lot more girls wanting to play. Honestly, we've seen it with our team. We have basketball players wanting to come. We're having soccer players wanting to come. And initially it's like, "Oh, I just want to come do this for fun. Kind of on my off-season.“ And then they end up quitting their main sport to come play because they love it so much. So I think that's the biggest thing I've seen. Coach: Yeah, I mean, I also think the girls' game is always changing. It feels like every year we get new rules. And so, I mean, it's hard to think back to when we last played in 2019 in high school. Just again, with all those changes. But I think it's also just like a faster moving sport now with like the different rules that they've applied, which is cool to see. Right? Like it used to be a little bit odd, but now it's very free flowing and everything. Anthony Godfrey: So what are some of the rules changes that you've seen happen over the years? Coach: So it used to be on every whistle. So the refs would blow the whistle. The player who got fouled would get the ball. The refs would be like, "Okay, everybody four away." And they would individually have to be like, "No, you have to go four away. You have to keep backing up." Like you were the player who fouled. You had to come four behind. Anthony Godfrey: Four away, meaning four feet away. Coach: Four meters, sorry. Four meters. Anthony Godfrey: Four meters, okay. Coach: And it was like so slow. It was like every whistle. It was like, "Stop. Move everybody away." And then to start play again, it was like a whistle start. Then it's crazy because everybody on the field would have to stop. Like it would be whistle. Everybody stops. Everybody is like being positioned, whistle again. So it was just so slow. Like it made the game so slow. It was so choppy. So now it's like, you know, there's a whistle. They're giving the advantage. So it's just, yeah, much, much better game. Anthony Godfrey: So it's a faster-moving game, the way that they're officiating it now. Coach: Oh, yeah. For sure. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about this team in particular. Coach: I mean, it's like just such a special group. Like truthfully, like they went out there every single game. And it was never about them. It was never about their stats. It was like, how can I go and be successful for the team? We talked at the very beginning of the season, like everybody has a role. And, you know, sometimes that role is you're going to be a starter. It's going to be like you're going to be a sub. Sometimes you're going to be a bench player. You know, but like everybody has a role, and everybody is key to the success in our role. And, you know, I think a good example is that is our freshman goalie, Ellis Snow. You know, she didn't play at all that championship game. And I think sometimes it's easy to be like, “Oh, like I wasn't part of it. Like I didn't do it.”  Like it's very easy to get stuck in that mindset. But you look back to Mountain Ridge, our semifinal game, and you put her in like a little bit into that second half, and she came up with huge saves. Truthfully, we wouldn't have made it to the championship game without her. You know, and so like in Mountain Ridge, she was, she played the sub role, you know, in the championship game, she played the bench role. But like truthfully, every single girl, we couldn't have done it without any of them. And so it was just good group, good group of girls, pure hearts. Like they're just great, great girls. Coach: Yeah. And I mean, I'll add on to that. These girls, they are like, I know it's so corny, but they're like sisters. I mean, they the seniors have done a great job of making such a good like team community, a great culture here. They embrace the underclassmen as one of their own. And they just are great leaders. Like all of our seniors are just great girls, great leaders, and have done a great job getting this team to where they are, as far as culture goes and like the hard work and everything that everybody puts in. Anthony Godfrey: What are the two of you love most about coaching? Coach: I think one of two things for me, I think one, it's just so awesome to still be involved in the game. Like I am athlete at heart. Like I like to compete, and this is without playing, this is as close as I can get to still getting the wins and losses and having that competitive nature. But I think, also like I look back on my time at lacrosse and the things that I've seen from it, and like I've had some awesome, awesome coaches. And for me, it's like I want these girls to experience that. Like, I want the girls to have that state championship feeling. I want them to like, have that and just get back to the sport. And it's just been fun. Coach: Yeah, I mean, very similarly, I've had great coaches, I've had bad coaches. And for me, I want to be a great coach and give the girls that experience to have a good coach. A good coach, because I mean, a coach can definitely change your outlook on, I think, the sport as well as your experience. And so I want to give the girls the best experience possible. And you know, if I can do that by being a good coach, like I'm going to do it. Anthony Godfrey: Stay with us when we come back. The Riverton High Girls Lacrosse team tries to teach me how to play lacrosse.

Let's go, baby! Let's go! Let's go, baby! Let's go! Let's go! Anthony Godfrey: We're now going to talk with three of the girls on the team. Introduce yourselves. Student: ”I'm Olivia, and I'm a senior. Student: I'm Paisley, and I'm a senior. Student: And I'm Maggie, and I'm a senior. Anthony Godfrey: Paisley, did I see your dad barefoot on the sidelines during the entire time? Student: He's always barefoot on the sidelines. Anthony Godfrey: And I saw, he has two daughters, your sister is on the team as well. What was it like having your dad on the sidelines there and coaching along through the season? Student: It's kind of awesome because whenever something cool happens or something like bad happens, I'll just make eye contact with him and he'll just be looking right back at me. Anthony Godfrey: Gives you those dad vibes there, right there. Tell us about your experience winning a state championship yesterday. First of all, congratulations. But how does it feel? Student: It's crazy. It's kind of unreal, I guess. Anthony Godfrey: You're still soaking it in. Still taking it in. Student: I don't really know how to describe it. I was talking to a bunch of people yesterday after the game, and everyone was super proud of us, super giving us all sorts of congrats and stuff. They were just asking me, "Oh, I don't know. How does that feel?" And I was like, "I have no idea. This is not like anything I've ever felt." Student: Yeah, it does really feel real just because it's something that we've all wanted for so long. And we finally did it. So I don't know. It's just crazy to think about. Anthony Godfrey: You've wanted it for a long time. Tell me what the revenge tour means. I've seen it on your shirts. I heard it kind of chanted from the crowd. Which, by the way, you talked about bench players. They got the crowd going. It was really exciting to see the enthusiasm and the support from parents and from students. But tell me about the revenge tour. What does that mean? Student: Well, it's like we've always... I don't know. I can just remember from my freshman year, it was like we weren't very good, and then my sophomore year we were good and then we lost our chance, and then my junior year we had a lot of problems. It just feels like everything was building up, and we just got beat too many times. And we were like, "It's time for us to get our revenge and show everyone that Riverton is the best team in 6A and beat all of our rivals, and that's what revenge tour is." Anthony Godfrey: Well, I even talked with a senior who had been on the team last year, who was talking about revenge and was so excited to cheer you guys on. So it doesn't sound like it's revenge against anyone in particular. It's just like moving you forward and kind of reclaiming what you know you could be. Tell me about the team in general. What has this team been like? Student: It's been great. I transferred here this year, and everybody's just been so nice to me. From the first day, I felt welcomed and a part of the team. Everybody's just so great. Student: I think our team culture this year has been pretty great. Like my coach said, we are basically all like sisters. We all support each other through whatever we had to deal with this season. Student: Yeah, and we've definitely had problems with it in past years. And so we just knew this year, before the season even started, all the seniors just got together. We decided, "Hey, let's just make this the best year ever where we're all best friends and we all just feel like a family." And that was really important to us this year, and I feel like it really made a difference in the way we played as a team. Anthony Godfrey: Well, clearly it worked and you've done this together. I love watching lacrosse. I don't understand it. So you are going to teach me a little bit today. I really want to try, what is it called when you start off and you try to see who gets it? It's basically the jump ball of girls' lacrosse. What is it? Student: Oh, it's a draw. Anthony Godfrey: It's a draw. So let's grab some sticks. Let's grab the ball and let you guys are going to teach me the draw. You're going to teach me? You ready? Student: Yeah, let's do it. Anthony Godfrey: All right, let's do it. While she's getting that. So what got you started in lacrosse? Coach: My sisters, like, I don't know. I just remember them always like talking to me, like trying to convince me to like try it. And just, I finally did one year. Anthony Godfrey: And by sisters, you mean your two coaches. Student: Yes. Anthony Godfrey: We didn't point that out to those who are listening. If you're here, it's obvious. But so your sisters are the ones who started it. And did you …. what have you learned from them about lacrosse? Student: Just a lot, like I think honestly, everything like just I grew up watching them like going to like tournaments and stuff. And yeah, I don't know. I think like they're very close and like seeing them on the field working together. I think it like shows like it's like they're good teammates like to each other and to all their other teammates. Anthony Godfrey: So no wonder you want to be part of it. How about the two of you? What got you started in lacrosse? Student: I was playing soccer, and then in second grade, my friend Brittany came up to me, and she was like, come play lacrosse for me and my dad. And I was like, “OK.” And then I just have played ever since. So Brittany got me on that. Thank you, Brittany. Anthony Godfrey: Good job, Brittany. Student: What got me started was my neighbor across the street. She came over with like a little …. looked like a tennis racket before like they like evolved to the like kind of sticks we have today. But she gave me that. She was like, “come to practice.” And I went to school the next day. I got a flyer from Brittany. Student: Yeah. Yeah. Same. Anthony Godfrey: All right. It all comes back to Brittany. Student: She was like, you should come try this out. And I was like, OK. And so I just quit everything else because I liked it so much. Anthony Godfrey: Where's Brittany today? Is she playing lacrosse still? Student: Oh, yeah. She was with us yesterday. Anthony Godfrey: OK. So she's still she's still part of things. That's awesome. And you gave up your other sports. What other sports? You said soccer, Student: Soccer and volleyball. Anthony Godfrey: And volleyball. OK. Well, we're glad we're here. Now, like I said, I loved watching you yesterday, but I do not understand it. You're so you're going to teach me you were flipping this just casually like flipping it around. And I've already dropped the ball and I don't know if I can even pick it up. OK. I'm going to pick it up like this. All right. Now, flip it again for me like that. You're just flipping it casually. Student: Just for fun. Anthony Godfrey: How does it stay in there? Student: Centrifugal force. Anthony Godfrey: OK. All right. I need to spin it a little faster. All right. So show me how this starts off. You two do it and then I'll try to do it. So when you start off, it's called what now? Student: It's called the draw. Anthony Godfrey: It's called the draw. Student: So basically it's like you're going to put the two heads of the stick together. Student: Upper one-third of the stick. Student: And the ball goes in there. And you just push against each other. Anthony Godfrey: OK. Student: And then when the refs tweet, you just kind of like flip your stick. Anthony Godfrey: Somebody's going to say tweet, right? Voice: Tweet. Student: Whoo! Look at you. That's a draw win right there. Anthony Godfrey: Was that a draw win? Student: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: OK. Great. That feels fantastic. Student: That was awesome. Anthony Godfrey: You know, I like I like a sport with a stick in your hand the whole time. I'm going to toss it to you. You said you're not going to hit me, but I can't make that same promise. Here we go. Hey! That was a good catch. You kind of right …. Wow. OK. Well, I admire your skills even more after trying it out. So what's next for you? You're all seniors. What are you doing after you graduate? Student: I want to go to esthetician school, but it's a little bit TBD. Anthony Godfrey: OK. That's all right. Student: I'm going to Grand Valley State University in Michigan to keep playing lacrosse. Anthony Godfrey: Awesome. Student: I'm going to Westminster, up in Sugar House, Utah to also keep playing lacrosse. Anthony Godfrey: Congratulations on a tremendous run and a great victory yesterday. Student: Thank you. Anthony Godfrey: It was so fun to be part of that and to be there. So let's see what next year brings. Student: Yeah, for sure.

He was on a mission to make sure no one felt alone, left out, or without a friend at Riverton High School. On this episode of the Supercast, find out how Riverton High Student Body President Seth Christensen managed to write and deliver a personal message to every one of his 2300 fellow students, hoping to make them feel seen, loved, and never without a friend to turn to. It was a labor of love that took Seth a year to complete, spreading smiles and happiness throughout the halls of Riverton High. Audio Transcription [MUSIC] Seth Christensen: If someone writes me a letter, it means the world to me. I've saved every single letter I've gotten since I was in eighth grade. I wanted to find some way that I could make every single student here at Riverton feel loved. Anthony Godfrey: How many students do we have here at Riverton? Just let everybody know. Seth Christensen: Well, at the beginning of the year, we had 2,335. Anthony Godfrey: And so you've written over 2,000 cards. Seth Christensen: Yes. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. He was on a mission to make sure no one felt alone, left out, or without a friend at Riverton High School. On this episode of the Supercast, find out how Riverton High student body president Seth Christensen managed to write and deliver a personal message to every one of the over 2,000 students at Riverton High, hoping to make them feel seen, loved, and never without a friend to turn to. It was a labor of love that took Seth a year to complete, spreading smiles and happiness throughout the halls of Riverton High. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: We are at Riverton High School today talking with the student body president. Please introduce yourself. Seth Christensen: Hi, yes. My name is Seth Christensen. I'm the SBO president here at Riverton and a senior this year. It's awesome. Anthony Godfrey: Seth, you are on the cusp of graduation. How does it feel to be this close to the end of your public education? Seth Christensen It is crazy. I've had many, many great memories here at Riverton. I owe Riverton so much. I owe Jordan School District so much. It's crazy to think I'm graduating, but a lot of good memories were made here and a lot of good memories are going to stay in those journals. Anthony Godfrey: Well, you've been an incredible leader. It's been really fun to watch, especially this year, the things that you've accomplished and the way that you've lifted your whole school. And that's why we're here today to talk about a particular project that a lot of people have taken interest in. It's the project where you wrote a card for every student in the school. Talk to us about that. Seth Christensen: Yeah, it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made, is taking on this project. I wanted to find some way that I could make every single student here at Riverton feel loved. I knew if I just relied on meeting and saying hi to every single person I saw, yes, it would be good and it'd be great. I do do that, but people are going to fall through the cracks, because obviously I'm not going to have a physical interaction with everyone. So these letters are the next best idea, trying to find some way to get my words of affirmation to these people. Anthony Godfrey: That's really incredible. How many students do we have here at Riverton? Just let everybody know. Seth Christensen: Well, at the beginning of the year, we had 2,335, and then we've had people join throughout the year. Anthony Godfrey: So you've written over 2,000 cards. Seth Christensen: Yes. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about the process of writing those cards. How much time did that take? You have to pace yourself. And these are handwritten cards, every one of them. Seth Christensen: Yeah, handwritten cards. All of them are personalized. They say something different. It's been awesome, because to write a personalized letter to someone, you can't not know them. So I got a book with all the names in the entire school, all the students. Started going through it, wrote letters to those that I knew. Then once I got through the book once, I now had a list of people at the school that I didn't know. A lot of them were sophomores, so I talked to my sophomore class officers. I'm like, “hey, do you know this person? How would I get to know them? What did they like doing?” and trying to track down each individual student to try to get a personal relationship with them. And it was incredible, because as I started doing that, I just started to get people at Riverton and know them on a much deeper level than I would have before. Anthony Godfrey: Is it hard to get through the hallway now, because you know so many more people than you did at the start of the year? Do you need a special pass to be a little bit late to class, because there are too many people to talk to? Seth Christensen: I wish. That saved me a lot of makeup school. But it's awesome being able to walk in the halls and say hi to each person that's coming by. Be able to call them by name, because I think just that, being able to know someone's name, means a lot to them. It meant a lot to me. This entire project was inspired because the SBO president, when I was a freshman, knew my name. And I didn't even go to the school. I wanted to help people feel that love that he helped me feel. So that's what these letters are inspired from. Anthony Godfrey: Well, it's just an example of how when you do something kind for someone, it does tend to be paid forward, and it does spread. But you have really worked hard to make sure that no one is left out, and that's particularly difficult to do. Like you said, great effort saying hi to people and getting to know people, but you have to be very intentional in order to reach the people that you don't get to know just because of your grade level or classes or activities you're involved in. Being deliberate like that and intentional is just really valuable and really impressive. Seth Christensen: Thank you. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me, you said that you wanted to make sure that everyone at Riverton felt loved. Why did you feel that need? Seth Christensen: The students at Riverton High School are the best people I have ever met in my entire life. Truly, they are some of the most inspiring people you will ever see. You know, I've seen people go through such hardships this year, and not only do they go to school with a smile, but they're carrying a weight. My goal is to help people know that not only do I love them, but I'm here to support them. And words can only go so far, but once you have a project like this that's like, "Hey, I'm willing to put in time to write you this letter. If you have an issue, come talk to me. Let's do it." And throughout this year, I've gone to a lot of counselor appointments with different people, helping people, and it's truly been incredible because I have had experiences and opportunities that I wouldn't have had any other way if I didn't get to reach out to them first. For example, I had someone come up to me and say, "Your letter came up the perfect time." Found out that their parents were getting a divorce. And I had someone else who came up and just started crying to my arms, and their sister had died of cancer the week earlier. It's just deep. I think if I didn't do these letters, actually, I don't want to think about it. I want to keep it where it is. Anthony Godfrey: Well, what I love about this is that you created this opportunity. It's not even that someone said, "Hey, you should write a card to everyone in the school." And then you decided whether that was worth your time. You care about the students, every student at Riverton, and you tried to think of a way to reach out and make sure they knew that you loved them. That's pretty incredible. Seth Christensen: Thank you, Dr. Godfrey. And if anyone knows it's you, it's like once you get to know these people, they're pretty easy to care about. They're pretty easy to be able to look them in the eye and ask them how they're doing. It's pretty easy once you understand how truly incredible they are, how blessed we are to even know them. Anthony Godfrey: Well, you're exactly right. And you've heard me say it before. I get a backstage pass in Jordan District. Is that the way I like to say it? And I get to meet lots of incredible people. And they're all incredible in their own way. The more you get to know them, the better you can understand that. This is a lesson that you're going to really benefit from for the rest of your life. But every person who received a card is going to benefit from this in a big way as well. One other thing that I love about it is that you don't have anything to gain from this. It's not like you're the student body president and now you're going to run for Supreme Chancellor and this is really going to help with the votes for you to be Emperor Palpatine or anything. It's like you're finishing your time here and you wanted to make the most of your position. You wanted to make the most of your opportunities. That's probably what I admire the most is that you've been creative about making the most of your time because too many times we look back and think, oh, there's more I could have done. You're going to have lasting friendships and even acquaintances. Aren't acquaintances a wonderful thing? Seth Christensen: They're awesome. Anthony Godfrey: Someone that you know. But maybe you don't know them deeply, but you know them and you have a connect and you've expanded that in a big way. So congratulations. Seth Christensen: Yeah, thank you so much. And I'll say it again. It's, it's just so easy to love them. It's so easy to care for these people because they make it easy. And it's just …. it just really is wonderful.

Anthony Godfrey: Now you say you have a few cards here that you haven't been able to connect with students. Let's hear some of the things that you wrote. Seth Christensen: Yeah, sorry if I tear up a little bit, but I can't say their names, but I'll just tell you what I wrote. I'm like, “you are so cool. I can't wait to see where you go in life and what incredible things you do. I hope you always remember that you are so loved and never forget that you are so amazing.” “I'm so glad that you have come to Riverton. You have truly entered a school of love and happiness. Never forget that you are so loved.” “You are so sick. Seriously, one of the coolest dudes. I hope that one day I can have half of the guitar skills that you have. Love you so much, man.” “I'm so grateful to go to the same school as you. You are just such a light.” “I think it's crazy we've known each other for eight years. Miss Brown knew what she was doing when she sat us next to each other on the seating chart. And it was awesome going to your 10th birthday party and being the only boy. Basically, you are incredible. Let's make some more memories.” “You are one of the funniest people I've ever met. You're going to be a stand-up comedian one day.” “You are such an exemplar to this school. You shine a light that no one can replicate. Thank you for coming to Riverton and you have truly changed so many lives.” Seth Christensen: Yeah, that's just a couple of them right there. Anthony Godfrey: That's wonderful. Tell me why you landed on cards as the way to express that caring for individuals, because handwritten cards are kind of a lost art. I write them much less than I intend to and every time it's a huge reward for me to write them. I love receiving them. But like I said, it's not as popular as it used to be by a long shot. So why did you land on this in particular? Seth Christensen: Yeah, of course. You know, I'm like you. If someone writes me a letter, it means the world to me. I've saved every single letter I've gotten since I was in eighth grade. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. I have a drawer of them in my office when I get a thank you and I keep them. I have a box of thank you's from throughout my life. So I've kept them as well. Seth Christensen: Yeah, exactly. It's like a letter is something that's substantial. It's something that you can take with you throughout your life. I know whenever I'm having a hard time and I can pull out a letter that I got from my friend two years ago where it's just talking about me and it's making me feel loved. That helps. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, yeah. Seth Christensen: That helps so much. So not only can this letter stand out because not a lot of people write physical letters anymore, but it's something that you can take with you throughout your life. Anthony Godfrey: So you told me that you started with the people that you knew and then you had a list of students that you didn't know that you weren't familiar with and worked from there. How long was this process from card one to finishing the last card? Seth Christensen: So we talked about this project as soon as school started and just kind of started working out details. Then I went to the library and asked for 2,500 copies of this card and they're like, “let's start you off with just a thousand.” And that was at the beginning of September. So that welcomed me in and we started in September and worked through it, tried to get as many as I could done before Silver Rush, our annual charity, and didn't do a lot during Silver Rush. Then once January hit, it was letters, letters, letters. It was waking up at 3 a.m. on B days and just doing letters until school. It was standing up until 3 a.m. doing letters on A days. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Seth Christensen: And it was hard. It was probably one of the hardest things I've done, but it was by far one of the most rewarding things I've done. You know, again, the opportunities that I had to bond with people that I wouldn't have never met any other way, it was just beyond worth it. Anthony Godfrey: That's remarkable. You kept up with students as they moved in and out. Seth Christensen: Well, it's been hard, you know, because once someone moves out, it's so much harder to get to them. And frankly, we don't find, we can't find a way to really get it to them. So we have this big pile of letters of people who have either graduated early or transferred because they had to move. But moving in, it's just trying to keep track of everyone who has moved in. And, you know, I still have a stack of letters. So those people who moved in, I can write them a letter. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. So you're keeping up on new students as well. Seth Christensen: Trying my best, but yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Wow. You're creating the type of school spirit that's going to require a reunion every year. People are going to want to see each other every 12 months because you've created this culture. And Riverton has had a great culture for a long time, but you have doubled down on that. It's really incredible. Did you test out different types of pens to get just the right type of pen that would write smoothly and quickly? Seth Christensen: Absolutely. The pens that I found were the Cypress Credit Union pens. So I'm not going to say how many I took from their bank, but I will say that I went through seven pens throughout the school year. Anthony Godfrey: Cypress Credit Union is one of our best sponsors. So I'm actually going to call and tell her that. She's going to like hearing that. Seth Christensen: Don't tell them it was me who took the pens. They were just right there. It was so open. Anthony Godfrey: Look, you can take a lollipop or you can take a pen and I take both. So it's good. You went through seven entire pens. Like you kept the pen, depleted it of ink and then moved on to the next one. Seth Christensen: Well, yeah, those are the ones where it's like I know I went through the entire pens. I don't know how many I went through that were like half full or half of them are in pencil. Anthony Godfrey: So it's incredible. And I'm so happy to hear about this. I'm so impressed, but not surprised because this is who you are. Who you have always been. Seth Christensen: Thank you. Anthony Godfrey: You've been …. when we were at the Silver Rush assembly, you talked about writing the speech when you were in ninth grade, planning ahead in case you had that opportunity. And then you did a whole different speech. To me, what that shows is that you plan ahead, but you also are ready to meet the moment and nobody does that better. So congratulations. Well done. Seth Christensen: Thank you so much. And honestly, I've said it before, I'll say it again. Riverton High School is one of the best in the nation. You know, I've been truly blessed even to just go here, much less be able to represent them. I will always remember the memories I made here at Riverton High School. Anthony Godfrey: Well, you've made a lot of memories yourself for others. So, thank you very much for everything you've done. And we look forward to seeing you at graduation. Seth Christensen: Yes. See you there. [music] Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Supercast. Remember, “Education is the most important thing you'll do today.” We'll see you out there.

Another major company has been forced to flee a blue state due to its progressive policies. ZEV Technologies, a premier manufacturer of high-performance firearms, has officially announced it is relocating its entire headquarters and manufacturing operations from Washington state to Riverton, Utah. The company was direct, stating the move was a result of Washington's 'evolving political climate' and laws that restrict law-abiding citizens from owning the very products ZEV creates. This move to the 2A-friendly state of Utah highlights a growing trend of businesses voting with their feet, abandoning states with hostile business environments and anti-Second Amendment legislation. While Utah gains a 40,000-square-foot facility and new high-paying jobs in manufacturing and engineering, Washington is left with the consequences of its own political agenda.

(Riverton, WY) – Riverton High School girls basketball will have an off-season coaching shake-up as Mike Bozner announced this week his decision to resign from the program. “It’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do as a coach,” Bozner told County 10 about his decision. “Walking away from a program that you love and care about is really tough. It’s been a great ride for three years, sometimes things happen, and you’ve gotta pick family or work.” Bozner’s teams improved by a single win each of his three seasons. In the ’23-’24 season they’d tally 5 wins. The following year was 6 and in ’25-’26 they picked up 7 victories. Unfortunately they did not attain their ultimate goal of qualifying for the state tournament. The last two seasons the Lady Wolverines fell short of that goal by a single game, going 1-2 at regional tournaments in Rock Springs and Evanston. Coach “Boz” admitted that he’s been emotional about saying goodbye to the program. “I had a squishy moment, we had our banquet and they got to see my true emotion. You try to be strong, but when it’s time to leave them, you have to put it all in perspective.” He added that while he’ll miss coaching games, it was the practices, bus rides and team bonding moments he’ll cherish. “The summertime program, the individual work I gave each of these girls. I’ll miss a lot of things actually. I truly love this team, I love these girls, I care about them, I want their lives to be successful.” The coaching shift this off-season will also be felt at the JV level. Jessalyn Meeks, JV Coach and Assistant Varsity Coach for the last three seasons also announced she’ll be stepping down. Over the last few months, Mike and some other community members have gathered to discuss plans for a recreation center they’d like to see in Riverton. He discussed these plans further on the County 10 Sports Podcast (listen below) and vowed to continue to make it a priority, even from a distance. He told us that he’ll be relocating to Missouri soon. His wife is currently undergoing a series of medical treatments and they’ll be moving closer to a facility in which those treatments are possible. The Bozner’s grandkids also live in the “Show-Me State,” and they’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of their newest this summer. Through some sadness about his decision, Boz smirked when describing the bass fishing opportunities he’ll take advantage of.

Ephesians 1:3-14 is a powerful song of praise and adoration to the Triune God. Paul's single paragraph of praise to the Father for the blessings so richly lavished on us in the Son and through the Spirit gives us every reason to sing, to praise, to worship, and to live for our God. Purposed before time by the Father, secured in real time by the Son, and sealed for all time by the Spirit, the saving purpose of the Triune God cannot and will not be hindered. This gospel of God is unstoppable. Listen to this second Sunday in our five part series, God's Unhindered Word: Fifty Years and Counting. Danny Brooks was Heritage's preaching pastor from 1998–2016 and is now the pastor for preaching at Gospel Hope Church in Riverton, Utah.

Jerrica Lacy's story is one of heartbreak, healing, and divine intervention.Growing up surrounded by addiction, Jerrica knew drugs and alcohol long before she ever knew peace. Both of her parents battled addiction, and tragedy struck when her father and brother lost their lives to overdoses. Her mother is now in recovery - a living reminder that redemption is possible.Though Jerrica grew up in church, she didn't know God personally. That changed during one of the darkest moments of her life. Lying in an ICU bed, detoxing from alcohol, she prayed for a sign - and her nurse walked in and said, “God wants you to know that He loves you.” That simple message became the turning point she needed.Years of pain and an abusive relationship had pushed her deep into addiction - a cycle she thought she could never escape. But when she came to VOA Northern Rockies' Center of Hope in Riverton, everything began to change. Jerrica quickly became a house leader and was later accepted into the organization's recovery home.Once bitter toward religion, Jerrica found her faith again and rededicated her life to Jesus. Today, she's pursuing her license as an addiction practitioner - using her story to bring hope to others walking the same road she once did.

Photo: The Wind River Family and Community Health Care clinic in Riverton, Wyo. would have been impacted by the proposed cuts in tribal Medicaid funding. (Hannah Habermann / Wyoming Public Media) State lawmakers in Wyoming backtracked this week on what many – including some lawmakers – believed was a big proposed cut to tribal Medicaid funding. Wyoming Public Radio's Hannah Habermann reports. Earlier this month, the Joint Appropriations Committee voted to deny a $58 million request from the Wyoming Department of Health for federal funding for tribal Medicaid reimbursements. The move was met with pushback and protest, but this week, State Rep. John Bear (R-WY) told the Tribal Relations Committee those funds will come through. “ I just wanna make it really clear that the funding was never, ever in jeopardy. These are accounting issues that we’re trying to work through.” Bear is the co-chair of the Joint Appropriations Committee. He originally voted for the cut, but this week said there was a workaround with what's called a B-11, which he hadn't mentioned in the original meeting. “Then they get the reimbursement after the activity is taken care of for the tribal member.” Now, Bear says the committee will authorize the funding for the Department of Health before the session starts, but at current reimbursement rates, that will be more like $41 million, rather than $58 million. Nick Tilsen. (Photo: Brooke Anderson @movementphotographer) The trial of Native advocate Nick Tilsen ended in a hung jury this week in Rapid City, S.D. Tilsen is still indicted and the state has the option to drop the charges or press forward, as South Dakota Public Broadcasting's C.J. Keene reports. Tilsen is the president and CEO of NDN Collective, a Rapid City-based Indigenous advocacy nonprofit. It is known for projects which advance Native living conditions and its protests of President Donald Trump's attendance at Mount Rushmore. For this case, he is charged with alternative charges of aggravated assault or simple assault against law enforcement. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, leading to a mistrial. Both charges are felonies and Tilsen also faced a misdemeanor obstruction charge. The next steps are in the hands of the state. The Pennington County State's Attorneys office could drop the charges or push for a new trial. The incident in question dates to June 11, 2022. On that day, footage shows Tilsen pulling into a parking space where an officer was standing. In the video, the truck pulls into the parking space, stops short, and moves forward again. The officer was interacting with an unhoused community member. According to reporting by the Rapid City Journal, he was stopped for jaywalking. Nobody was struck by the vehicle, but the state contends this was an effort to intimidate the officer and put him in fear of bodily harm. Tilsen's defense hinged on his organization’s effort to do “community care.” In other words, watching police – ensuring officers are operating in line with laws and community members know their rights during police interactions. For this, Tilsen faced over 25 years in prison for what he contends was a human mistake. In a press release following the mistrial, Tilsen writes, “I'm grateful for everyone who stood with me through the latest iteration of this lengthy legal battle – the support of my family, lawyers, spiritual leaders, medicine people, and community means everything to me. The fight is not over.” At this time, it is unclear if the state will seek another trial against Tilsen. Screenshot Oglala Sioux Tribal President Frank Star Comes Out has issued a proclamation banning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and associated border patrol agents from entering the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. It is in response to ICE activities and recent shootings in Minneapolis, Minn. The proclamation states U.S. Border Patrol is assisting ICE in “unlawful conduct” against Native people in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, Minnesota tribes, including the Red Lake Nation and Mille Lacs Band, are closing tribal government operations Friday, as part of a nationwide strike. “ICE Out – no work, no school, no shopping” is in protest of the ICE presence in Minneapolis.
