Thank you, NAU, for hosting such an amazing Link Up Concert for our upper elementary students every year! 🎶
We’re also so grateful to our music teachers, Ryan Williams and Robyn Zacharias, for preparing our students to play their recorders and fully participate in the fun.
Mr. Williams took so many great photos the day of the event—be sure to check them out!

There are 3 weeks left on our only remaining DonorsChoose project—and we need $2,343 to fund outdoor basketball hoops at our new middle school campus. 🏀
Truly, every dollar makes a difference.
If you’re able, please consider giving—and help us spread the word on your socials. Let’s keep the momentum going at Gemini! 💙

I will read in a chair, I will read on the floor,
I will read outside on the grass and shout, “Let's read more!”
I will read by myself, I will read with a friend,
With a wiggle and giggle, I will read till the end.
I will read in the hallway, I will read on the rug,
I will read in a corner all cozy and snug.
On Read Across America Day we declared happily—
We will read here, there… and everywhere at FJA, you see!

Earlier this winter, Mr. Tommi’s Birds of Prey PBL students traded their classroom for the Kachina Wetlands Preserve—learning, observing, and bird watching up close 🦅
Now they’re turning that experience into action by building kestrel boxes for our Gemini Campus! This is what real-world project-based learning looks like! 👏

Sixth grade doesn’t have to feel hard when you’re supported.💙
This year, all FJA 6th graders are part of CREW—a new program focused on connection, confidence, and real-life skills. In small groups, students learn how to manage emotions, build community, and support one another during the big transition year to middle school.
“I think you can really share anything without being judged.” 💬
Because when students feel seen, supported, and empowered—✨ they thrive.
