Making of the AJA Mural

Years ago, an AJA teacher and students created a fun mural on the large, blank wall of our MPR (multi-purpose room). But after hundreds of gatherings in that room -- from KabShab to class presentations to Tefillah to assemblies -- it was showing signs of wear and tear and needed a refresh.

We wanted to keep a mural, but what kind? A nature scene? Students at work? Jewish symbols? Or how about a little bit of everything?

How about a doodle wall? That all our students and staff members can contribute to?

It was a perfect plan, but it required a whole village to make it come together.

Science Fair

Science fairs play a crucial role in the education and development of students, offering a range of benefits that contribute to their intellectual, academic, and personal growth. Some key reasons highlighting the importance of science fairs include hands-on learning, critical thinking skills, research skills, creativity and innovation, presentation skills, interest in STEM subjects, and real-world application.

The Power of Field Trips

Field trips are more than just a break from the classroom routine; they are valuable educational experiences that play a crucial role in a child's development. Beyond the confines of traditional learning environments, field trips provide unique opportunities for hands-on exploration, interactive learning, and the development of essential life skills. Exposing children to new and diverse environments through field trips can ignite a spark of curiosity and interest in a particular subject.
