Utah Juniper Update!

Our quest to change the state tree is moving right along! Our local representative is pushing the issue through the legislative process right now. We are waiting on word from him to know how things are going.

We have recieved our shirts and they look great! (pictures to come) Our packages were sent to all of the school districts. We have recieved word from one Elementary that is in support of us and entered our Photo Contest. We would like to send a big THANK YOU to Valley Elementary in Orderville Utah for being one of the first schools to let us know they support our efforts!

We would LOVE to hear from you if you are from a school that has recieved our packets!!!!

Utah Juniper Advertisements

In Ms. Schmidt's class the students created advertisements to show why the Utah Juniper should be our state tree. Some persuasive points were that the Utah Juniper is more common in Utah compared to the Blue Spruce, the berries from the trees were used for medicine, jewlery, and food. Here are some of the students examples...

Jump For The Juniper Shirts

We have created a Jump For The Juniper T-shirt. The shirts are blue. They are high quality preshrunk. The original graphics are illustrated in four colors. The tree is green, the turnk is a grayish brown, and the scenic rocks are a rust color. The shapes are outlined in black. There is a black silhouette of a tree and arched rock with a list of our WONDERFUL sponsors for the Jump For The Juniper project.

A photo of the shirt will be posted the first part of January. If your interested in purchasing one of the shrits, you can email us at jumpforthejuniper@yahoo.com and we can give you more information and/or take your order. We would love for fourth graders around the state to wear these shirts and create awareness for others to join with us!
