SALT LAKE CITY First lady Jill Biden will celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Salt Lake City on Wednesday by thanking front-line workers at a west side middle school and encouraging Utahns, especially the Hispanic community, to get the COVID-19 vaccination. This is a tour for appreciation and gratitude, said Scott Howell, a former Democratic Utah Senate leader and surrogate for President Joe Biden.
Jill Biden plans to visit Glendale Middle School where she will thank health care workers, teachers, custodians, lunch workers, information technology workers and others for their diligence and hard work during the pandemic, Howell said.
Wednesday is an online learning day for students at Glendale, so she won t see them in their regular classrooms. But there will be some students on hand.
