It's been a very busy couple of weeks at JA. The 8th graders created a menu of at least 8 items that they described using figurative language. Then, they were given then chance to “sample” from each other’s menus and had to fill their plates with figurative language. At the end, they filled out Google reviews about their favorite restaurants as well. They had so much fun!

Our students showed off all their amazing science projects, art pieces and music skills during our Family Engagement Showcase Event on April 16th. Food trucks parked out in the back lot, Poppa J's kettle corner was provided, and many other creative projects were shared with all those who visited.

Mrs. Priebe and her 6th graders were surrogate parents for a group of chicken eggs that hatched and then delighted the whole building.

Congratulations to JA Band Members Natalie Fisk and Andrew Young who represented John Adams this past weekend at the Minnesota Band Directors Association 6-8 Sate Honor Band!

Natalie and Andrew submitted audition recordings in December and were selected among a competitive pool of musicians from across the state of Minnesota! They made music with other driven musicians from our state, as well as learn and perform with composer and professor Quincy Hilliard from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

We are so proud of you!

Anytime you can cover the ice the way he does with his size and reach, he has a chance.” Said Head Coach & GM Brian Maloney, “Now he gets to go into university and put it all together. We’re proud of how far he’s come, and he’ll be a big part of our playoff push.”
