The whole week, the halls were filled with wonder, the stories were endless, and the moments were ones that lasted long after the final page was turned. This fall, this story comes to life. 📕 📖

Jackson Academy’s baseball team added a notable name to its lineup of character building speakers, as Brad Stevens, President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics, joined the team via video call to share his perspective on building a winning culture. Stevens led Butler University to back-to-back NCAA Championship game appearances before taking over as head coach of the Boston Celtics, where he later transitioned to the front office and built the roster that won the 2023–2024 NBA Championship. He spoke with the JA baseball players about what it takes to compete at the highest level and how team culture is built from the inside out, emphasizing that the foundation of any winning program comes down to hard work and daily commitment to something bigger than yourself.

Yellow was the color of the day, and K3 had a buttery way to play! 🧈💛

Students shook, mixed, and made homemade butter while discovering all the fun that comes with learning about yellow! Activities like this encourage curiosity, strengthen fine motor skills, and introduce students to early scientific concepts in an engaging way.

At JA, purposeful learning begins early, creating a strong foundation for curiosity, discovery, and a lifelong love of learning. 🩵
