We’re simultaneously sad and excited to see our 8th Grade Class of 2026 move on to high school next year.

We know their leadership will be missed on campus, but we also know they will do great things in high school and beyond.

We wish them all the best and hope they never forget their time as Snow Wolves. ❄️🐺

Thank you to Ms. Mitchell’s Murals Alive! PBL class for creating Gemini Campus’s very first mural! 🎨

Students studied mural design and public art, then brought this project from concept to completion — even hosting a public comment period to choose the final octopus design by Lily Stevenson. 🐙

Special thanks to Kayley Quick for sharing her expertise and VR headset technology, Lauren Mitchell for her vision of PBL and countless hours dedicated, and the Arizona Community Foundation for supporting experiential education at FJA. 💙

Thank you to Ryan Williams for capturing the mural journey on film here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uvTTi0c_cvuo3B9-9ULeTtGp4SDztJ5S/view

It truly takes a village, and we love ours. 💙

On Friday, we celebrated some of the incredible parents, grandparents, and friends of FJA Cedar Campus who support our elementary students all year long.

From driving on field trips, helping with reading groups, supporting in the garden, leading lessons, and so much more — our students benefit from their time, talents, and care.

And to all of our FJA grown-ups who pack lunches, help with their child's projects, and cheer on our school in countless ways: thank you! We couldn't do it without you. 🌟

Bravo to our Children’s House for its recent performance of The Great Kapok Tree! From the singing and line memorization to the costumes and set, this was clearly a labor of love for both students and teachers! 🌿

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Gemini Student Showcase! We loved celebrating our students’ writing, artwork, projects, and creativity with you.

From hide-and-seek poetry in the courtyard to the unveiling of our new mural, it was a special evening.

A big thank you to Mr. Sarnoski for capturing some wonderful moments from the event here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-jo5dull3ZW4cwcNVdFaPFZu99v5DXVm/view?usp=drivesdk

Our middle schoolers are bright and dynamic. They are makers, artists, thinkers, and problem-solvers — and tonight's showcase is a celebration of their voices, ideas, and work.

We hope you can join us and explore some of the projects, pieces, and learning experiences they have been creating recently and, in some cases, developing all year long.

Not to be missed: Student-designed vinyl-wrapped utility boxes and Ms. Mitchell's PBL Class's octopus mural will be on display!

Our students are proud of what they’ve created, and we are proud of them!

🍎 It’s Educator Appreciation Week (May 4–8), and at FJA we’re celebrating the incredible people who make our school special!

From our office staff to lead teachers to instructional aides to specials/elective teachers, every single educator at FJA plays a part in shaping our students’ days (and futures). 💛

Take a moment this week to share your appreciation through a note, email, hug, etc., as our educators are truly the heart of FJA. ✨
