🎶 Sweet 16: Mosaic Variety Show Shines! ✨
The 2026 Mosaic Variety Show hit its "Sweet 16" milestone at AJHS! 🎂 With over 60 student performers and emcees, the show featured two high-energy showcases that perfectly captured the AJHS and D102 community spirit. 🎭🙌
The talent was on full display with incredible vocals, cultural dances, a faculty rock band 🎸, and a hilarious "Lost and Found" fashion show! 👗🕶️
Most importantly, this evening of art and expression served a greater purpose: the benefit raised over $300 for the Cancer Wellness Center! ❤️🩹
Congratulations to the cast and crew on 16 years of magic! 🌟👏

Talk about a high-stakes leap! 📉 Our 7th-grade Bridge to Algebra 1 students put their statistics skills to the ultimate test with the Barbie Bungee project.
To give Barbie a thrill without hitting the floor, students acted as precision engineers by collecting data and creating scatter plots. They used their lines of best fit to calculate the exact number of rubber bands needed for a successful drop from the stairwell. 🎢📏✨

8th Grade Washington, D.C. Trip 🇺🇸
This year, 61 of our 8th-grade students embarked on an unforgettable four-day journey to Washington, D.C., where they explored the foundations of American democracy and history. The group visited the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, several Smithsonian museums, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, gaining an understanding of our country. 📜
A particularly moving highlight occurred at Arlington National Cemetery, where, following the Changing of the Guard, four students had the distinct honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. ✨
