The first floor classes did some collaborating today for this fun S.T.E.M St. Patrick’s Day tradition.
How do you catch a leprechaun? Students came up with so many clever ideas incorporating rainbow colors, gold coins, glow sticks, and trap doors!

Ms. Pham’s class is left in sugar shock!!! In health, we have been exploring how to read nutrition labels. Today we focused on looking for the amount of hidden sugar in some popular drinks. Can you believe the grams of sugar found in these drinks?!?
Make-Up Snow Days!

Thankful for our social workers! Happy Social Work Month!
Congratulations to Mr. Hueston celebrating his 13 year anniversary with Joseph Academy.
Using Starbursts, Ms Pham's class performed this amazing experiment! Students demonstrated their understanding of the rock cycle. Students were able to see the formation of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock using heat and pressure!
Ms. Pham's class has been exploring artists and art from the Pop Art movement. Our class had such a fun time creating these Keith Haring inspired life-size pieces.
Our students were so excited for a surprise activity day! We spent the morning doing an all school bingo, followed by different activities, an all school pizza lunch, and an afternoon with school wide s’mores. We love our JAMP kiddo’s!
The JAMP family is celebrating today! Ms. Pham is a finalist for the Golden Apple Award and we could not be more proud! Congratulations to her for a job well done!
