Mr. Adame

Music Teacher

Welcome to Mr. Adame’s Music class. Music has always been a great joy in my life and I’m blessed with the opportunity to teach this to others. Music teaches us to express ourselves, to find our voice, and to appreciate diversities in those around us. We will learn these topics along with the many more interesting parts of music this year.

Mr. Maldonado

Physical Education Teacher / Coach

This is my fifth year teaching at Manuel Jara Elementary, and I’m excited to begin a new chapter as the Physical Education teacher. I spent the past four years as an inclusion teacher, and I’m passionate about helping all students grow into the best version of themselves. I graduated from The University of Texas at Arlington with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. I’m also a proud parent—my two children will be starting third grade right here at Manuel Jara! I’m looking forward to a fun and active school year!
