In an event honoring teachers in the Jordan School District, the South Jordan City Chamber of Commerce presented Teacher of the Year awards at a luncheon on April 27. Cindy Gumeson a math teacher at South Jordan Middle School was one of those who were honored.
Gumeson was nominated by Shawn McLeod, an assistant principal at South Jordan Middle School. "She was nominated because of all the great things she brings to the school like her credentials and the way she interacts with the students," McLeod said.

Each recipient received a special trophy and a gift basket of goodies."[Gumeson] does a lot for the school," Caleb Olsen, South Jordan Middle School social studies department chair, said. Olsen and McLeod said that Gumeson will do anything asked of her and that she is very helpful when things need to get done.
Gumeson teaches Algebra 1, Algebra 1A, and Pre-Algebra at the middle school. She has been working for South Jordan Middle School for the past 18 years."I feel very honored to receive this recognition," Gumeson said.
