JAMS Celebrated our October Holidays!
We celebrated Dia de Los Muertos with an informational presentation in elective classes, a live game of Lotería at lunch, and a coloring contest and digital altar. And, we celebrated Halloween with Kahoot, Among Us, and Pet and Human Costume Contests.
Need a break from your quarantine routine?
You can learn some new moves with the “Moving Together” Dance Series - a set of hip-hop video classes created by award-winning choreographer and teaching artist Robert Gilliam, who has been teaching hip-hop to SMMUSD students for over 15 years.
This online program, funded by the Ed Foundation’s For The Arts Endowment, is a celebration of movement and creativity for the whole family. Moving Together is offered in two different modules, beginner and intermediate, so there's something for everyone. No dance experience needed!
