Faces of Farmington!
Jessica Long is one of the friendly faces behind the wheel of our school buses—and also supports the Operations team as an Administrative Assistant. A lifelong Farmington resident, Jessica is a self-proclaimed fantasy book geek who brings care, humor, and consistency to her daily routes.
She’s known by her students for more than just driving—she’s someone who listens, encourages, and celebrates their wins, big or small. “I’ve had some riders since elementary school, and now they’re in high school. It’s wonderful... and hard at the same time,” she shares.
She once ate a scorpion lollipop, sets off fireworks with her family every 4th of July, and keeps her home life lively with two cats—Murder Mittens and Freya. 🐾
Her favorite recent memory? Shooing a wasp off the bus and hearing half the students erupt in cheers. 🐝👏
Thank you, Jessica, for making the ride more than just transportation; it’s a place where students feel seen.

This week, our AFJROTC cadets from FHS visited elementary classrooms to share important Halloween safety reminders with our students. Thank you for leading by example and helping our Knights stay safe and smart this Halloween! 🎃#SafeandHealthySchools #Ignite #BKP #TheKnightWay
Check out this FUN and FREE opportunity for students next week at MAC!
Breanna Juliette is a Reading Interventionist at Farmington Middle School and a proud cheer coach who brings energy, encouragement, and excellence into everything she does. Originally from Old Mines, she’s all about celebrating growth, both on the field and in the classroom.
Breanna once tried Cullen Skink (a creamy Scottish fish soup!) and loved it. That makes sense, considering one of her favorite adventures was a trip to Scotland! She also loves making croquignoles (a sweet French pastry) and spending time with friends and family, or getting lost in a good book.
She believes in cheering on every success, no matter how small: “It’s easy for me to be proud of my students, but when they see their own progress—that’s the best part of my job.”
Whether she’s guiding students in reading or coaching athletes at a game, Breanna is making a lasting impact. Thank you for being part of our team!

Faces of Farmington - Meet Jada!
Jada Peterson is a Special Education Paraprofessional at Washington-Franklin Elementary, and she brings patience, joy, and creativity to everything she does. Originally from Kansas City, Jada once dreamed of being a professional photographer before finding her true passion in education.
Her first job? Lifeguard at a waterpark at just 16 years old—"It felt wild that I could save a life at that age!" she shared.
Now, she’s thriving in the classroom and working toward her teaching certification, all while raising two beloved pets, Cooper, a yellow lab, and Callie the cat.
Jada’s favorite traditions include baking cookies with her family on Christmas Eve and celebrating the Beanstack Community Day with students each spring. “There’s nothing better than seeing our students succeed and getting to celebrate those moments with them,” she says.
We’re so lucky to have Jada in our district, thank you for everything you do!
