🏗️ Construction Zone 🏗️ Last year, Middle School 🏗️ Construction Zone 🏗️ Last year, Middle School STEAM students started with a simple question: How can we improve our outdoor play space? They began by studying the play yard itself. Students measured the space and built scaled models so they could better understand its layout, how much room they had to work with, and where changes might be possible. They also talked with students and teachers across the school about how the play yard was being used and what could work better. Along the way, two students noticed a very real problem, the bikes and tricycles did not have a good place to be stored. They started sketching ideas, testing different possibilities, taking measurements, building models, and eventually creating blueprints for a solution. This year, a parent (David of @davidhb203 ) helped them take the next step and actually build what they had designed. He guided them through the construction process, working alongside them as they measured, built and problem solved their way from a plan on paper to a finished structure that is useful and already beloved!
☀️Day in The Life 🌙 The AJLA Kindergarteners have ☀️Day in The Life 🌙 The AJLA Kindergarteners have quickly adjusted to the new routines and rhythms of their classroom. They’re busy learning and playing with increasing independence, and it feels like it’s been longer than just three weeks of school so far! We’re proud of all that they’re already up to and look forward to watching them continue to grow all year. And we wouldn’t mind a mid-afternoon coffee break on the playground with them from time to time. ☕️ Swipe through to see! #hoperising
💚 Hope Rising Day of Service💚 On September 11th t 💚 Hope Rising Day of Service💚 On September 11th this year, we spent the day serving others. It was a day of community, reflection, and giving back- a chance to bring light out of the darkness. Hope Rising Day of Service is now an annual event for AJLA in conjunction with the National Day of Service and Remembrance. We remain steadfast in the belief that hope is the greatest tribute we can make. #hoperising
9.11.2026 — 25 Years Later 💚⁠ ⁠ Today, we remember 9.11.2026 — 25 Years Later 💚⁠ ⁠ Today, we remember Adam J. Lewis — husband, father, son, brother, and friend — and the inspiration behind all we do.⁠ ⁠ As we look back on 25 years without you, it feels clear that your presence is everywhere: in the faces of your children, in the cherished memories of family and friends, and in the lives changed by the school built to honor your legacy.⁠ ⁠ From the very beginning, we hoped to create something wonderful out of something unimaginably awful. In doing so, you taught us to always look forward — to see possibility, to choose hope, and to believe that good can come from tragedy.⁠ ⁠ Today, as we participate in the 2nd Annual AJLA Hope Rising Day of Service, we invite you to join us in carrying that spirit forward:⁠ ⁠ 💚 Do something kind⁠ 💚 Help someone⁠ 💚 Give your time⁠ 💚 Make a difference⁠ ⁠ Together, we honor Adam’s life and legacy.⁠ Together, we choose hope.⁠ Together, we keep the promise to never forget.⁠ ⁠ Hope Rising #ajlacademy 💚
