It was special to have so many grandparents and "grand" people visit our Cedar Campus this week for sharing activities, the book fair, and our annual door decorating contest. Thank you for spending time with us and being such important parts of students' lives!
A huge congratulations to our 7th and 8th graders for their outstanding showing at today's Coconino County Math Competition. It was FJA's second year participating, and our Snow Wolves showed growth, had fun, and worked well together in the relays. A special shout-out to Ms. Goodell and our 8th graders, who took 2nd place overall!
Today is National Administrative Professionals' Day. When you see Ms. Adi, Ms. Annie, and Ms. Nancy today, please join us in thanking them for all of their hard work and commitment to FJA. Their hats are many: medical support staffers, graphic designers, student soothers, database managers, always-with-a-smile greeters, reliable communicators, and chaos coordinators! Our school is fortunate to have three amazing women--all with teaching backgrounds--running our offices and supporting the entire FJA community. Thank you, Ms. Adi, Ms. Annie, and Ms. Nancy!
FJ has been hanging out and making mindfulness jars at the Bushmaster Family Faire today...will be here for another couple of hours if you want to stop by and say hello!
A great day for literacy at Cedar! We had our last PALSmobile date of the year and Ms. Carrie's Culture Club students visited to read the personalized books they wrote for our kiddos. Hip, hip, hurrah for reading!
From Walk-a-Thons to Gear Swaps to ice cream/bake sales, FJA students have fun while raising money for the family portions of our end-of year field trips. Most recently, thanks to Fratelli Pizza for donating almost $500 to our 8th Grade San Juan River Trip through their FJA 10% Tuesday Event. And thanks to all of you who supported local business and had Fratelli's for dinner back or choose FJA for your school tax credit donation: https://www.fjacademy.com/o/fjacademy/page/donate

Loved recognizing our talented instructional aides yesterday on National Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!

If you see one of these folks around on campus, please join us in thanking them for the valuable impact they have on our whole school community!Â
Excellent research and presentation skills were on display this past week when Ms. Shawna's, Ms. Conway's, and Ms. Cernohous's classes invited Children's House students over to learn about insects. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such a fun way!
Nothing like a brisk before-school run to get pumped up for the day! Thanks to Ms. Tati and Ms. Patterson for starting our Friday Morning Running Club!

Friday's snow day could not deter Valentine's Day festivities at our Cedar Campus. There was crafts and songs and card/treats exchanges. Thanks to our PTG for their creativity and making it fun for the staff, too!
Thanks to Ms. Bax and upper elementary students for coordinating The Great Kindness Challenge and its subsequent Spirit Week. Here's some sweet, silly pictures from last week.
