Asset Building Champions (ABC) Program
In the 2012-13 school year, the ABC program is starting at JAMM. We hope to get volunteer readers to step up for training and to read in each classroom and lead the activities. Learn more about the program and how to get involved.
Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a reading program in which students read books in their "reading zone", as diagnosed by the STAR computerized test. This zone is the independent reading level for fiction books.
