Year 3 at JMLA officially in the books! ✅
What an amazing journey it has been with this phenomenal team. We’ve worked hard, grown together, and made a real impact for our students. So proud of everything we’ve accomplished. Cheers to a restful summer—you’ve all earned it!

And just like that, another school year is in the books. 📚✨ Watching these TK-5 kiddos wrap up their year today at the EOY ceremonies was a beautiful reminder of how fast time flies. So incredibly proud of all their hard work, big smiles, and how much they’ve grown!

The wait is over! 💜⭐ We officially received our Purple Star School banner today!
This honor is a testament to our amazing community and our dedication to supporting our military-connected students and families.

I wholeheartedly believe teachers will do anything for kids if they feel valued. Since 2023, I’ve watched the John Muir staff give their all despite the huge mental toll of the job. Good teachers are never appreciated enough. That’s why Staff Appreciation Week is a non-negotiable

[NeTassha Rendon @DoctoraRendon]

My heart is seriously overflowing today. ❤️
A huge thank you to my amazing students, staff, and families for all the flowers, cards, and thoughtful gifts. Walking into my office and seeing so much love honestly reminded me why I show up every day.
I’m so lucky to lead JMLA

We wore purple with pride today in honor of our amazing military kids 💜

From classroom smiles to our Purple Up Popsicle Party, it was a day full of fun, appreciation, and community. These incredible kids show strength, resilience, and courage every single day!!

Our 3rd & 6th graders had the best surprise today! 🎭✨

They got to experience an amazing pop-up performance of Colorín Colorado from La Jolla Playhouse—and they were completely captivated! From storytelling to creativity, it was such a special way to bring the arts to life!
