JAJHS Student Council members help spread the love this Valentine’s Day by sharing handmade gifts and treats with residents at Heritage. #BetterEveryDay







We know #BetterEveryDay lands a little differently to Weston and his family now, and we want them to know we’re alongside them as the JAJHS Family. Our kids wrote some really nice cards for Weston this week and we delivered a few gifts to his family. Thanks for being a great JAJHS Community!


Thank you to Mrs. Lupia for all the ways she supports our JAJHS students, teachers, and families! #BetterEveryDay

It's that time again! Be sure to have your student check the lost and found in the lobby for any items to claim!

We have absolutely wonderful students at JAJHS! Thanks for great dance! Big shout out to Mrs. Garner, Student Council, PTO, and our parent and teacher chaperones! #BetterEveryDay

Just in case anyone happens to forget: Happy Birthday, Mrs. Cazares! #BetterEveryDay

Wonderful job to our JAJHS musicians at their recent choir and band concerts! We’re so proud of your hard work! #BetterEveryDay

All smiles as our #alderFAMILY welcomed Chris Nikic to the district on November 26th! Chris is the first person with Down syndrome and the first Special Olympics athlete to complete the 140+ mile Ironman. He spoke to CMS, JAJHS and JAHS students about his journey and the 1% Better Habit.
Special thank you to the Jonathan Alder Education Foundation for making this event possible!








Have a wonderful break!

We had a great Service Learning Day 2024! JAJHS students were busy learning about service and therapy dogs, supporting the Free Little Libraries, getting 1% Better Every Day, caring for our neighbors in nursing homes, and much more! #BetterEveryDay
