Last week, students and staff from Jones Academy attended the AISES National Conference in Minneapolis, MN!
The American Indian Science and Engineering Society is dedicated to advancing educational and career opportunities for Indigenous peoples of North America and the Pacific Islands in STEM fields.
Throughout the event, our students took part in hands-on STEM activities, explored a wide range of STEM topics in breakout sessions, and connected with professionals and peers during networking opportunities. 💡🔬
They also visited the college and career fair, gaining insight into future educational and career paths. During some down time, students checked out the famous Mall of America and took in the sights of downtown Minneapolis.
The conference wrapped up with a closing banquet featuring a Hoop Dancing exhibition from the Sampson Brothers and a Pow Wow.

Our students had a fantastic time at Lazer Zone in Ada on Monday! From strikes to spares (and maybe a few gutter balls), it was all about fun, laughter, and spending time together. What a great way to kick off the week
Last Thursday, our Jones Academy UNITY Youth Council and members enjoyed an unforgettable night at the Cirque du Soleil tour in OKC! 🎪✨ Yakoke, to the Hartshorne Community Center and the Chahta Foundation for making this exciting experience possible!
Jones Academy students had the opportunity to take part in an artist workshop led by multi-talented artist and actor Dukon Harris!
Dukon shared his creative talents in painting, woodburning, and beading...and also spoke about his work in film, including his role as narrator and lead in the autobiography Jim Thorpe: Lit by Lightning, where he portrayed the legendary athlete.
A proud member of the Sac and Fox, Comanche, Choctaw, and Ponca Nations, Dukon brought a meaningful cultural perspective to the workshop, inspiring our students through both his art, life experiences, and storytelling.
Yakoke to Dukon Harris for sharing your gifts, and to the Chahta Foundation for sponsoring the event.

🌾✨ Students at Jones Academy put their science skills to the test with a garden scavenger hunt comparing our Earth-grown Choctaw heirloom seeds to those that traveled to space with NASA.
They made observations, collected samples, and shared predictions about which garden was the “space garden.” It was a powerful way to connect Choctaw heritage, hands-on learning, and space exploration all in one activity. 🚀🌱

Students in grades 4 through 6 at Jones Academy recently participated in an exciting and educational experience as they learned about the democratic process and leadership. As part of their journey, they explored what it takes to run for an elected office, how to write and deliver an inspirational campaign speech, and gained hands-on experience with the voting process.
Through this experience, students discovered the responsibilities of serving as a student council representative and what it means to be a leader in their school community. Congratulations to all the candidates who participated—you demonstrated courage, commitment, and school spirit!
