Out of 263 story submissions, 7 JPS students were selected as winners in the Tulsa City-County Library's 2023 Spooky Story Contest. Each student's story will be published online and printed as part of TCCL's permanent collection. Congratulations to these Trojans on their creativity, imagination, and storytelling ability!
Earlier this school year, 3rd and 4th grade students wrote essays about why they wanted a bike and what it would mean to them to have one of their own. Throughout the fall semester, 1️⃣5️⃣ students received free bikes and helmets thanks to the generosity of @swervefoundation. Each bike presentation not only makes a lasting impact on these students but on everyone there experiencing the overwhelming joy and excitement! We love to see these Trojans' dreams come true! 😌🚲
A huge thank you again to The Swerve Foundation and their sponsors Justin Carlton State Farm, Bixby Bicycles and Accessories, Tallgrass Estate Planning, LLP, Jeremiah Lindsey- Flat Branch Home Loans, and Andrew and Lindey Techanchuck.

Northwest Elementary Trojans enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving feast together at lunch this afternoon. This lunch was made special with homemade placemats, table conversation starters, and "servers"- aka NWE staff- to fill up students' cup with lemonade. What a great way to teach our Trojans how sharing a meal with friends or family is a great way to have quality time with those we value and appreciate. We love to see it! Cheers!
Each semester, administrators, JPS Board of Education members, and community representatives visit different sites to experience learning in the classroom and progress in our District. Today's focus throughout the Fall Board Showcase was to make connections throughout the District to the Portrait of a Graduate framework. Some highlights included problem-solving at Jenks West Intermediate, learning how to effectively communicate emotions at Jenks Northwest Elementary, CareerTech programming through agricultural education and STEM at Jenks Middle School, and collaborative project-based learning at Jenks East Intermediate. Thanks to all the principals, teachers, and staff members who made this showcase possible!

Over 1200 people came to learn, explore, and have fun! Thank you Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance for giving our JEE Trojans and their families this incredible experience.
Congrats to Jenks Pom on finishing runner...WAIT. WHAT? Correction - Jenks Pom took state! After the OSSAA determined a judging error was made during the state competition, the Trojans were named the 6A Large School State Champs! The girls were surprised, shocked, and thrilled to learn the news, and we are so proud of this achievement and all the hard work they put in to make it happen! With this championship, Jenks has now won 200 athletic state championships in school history (who's counting?)! It's over 200 if you count the fine arts and activities state titles. #homeofchampions
It was a reel great afternoon for Jenks East Intermediate students who participated in the lunch fishing club! 😉🎣 This small lunch club hosted by parent volunteer, Matt Knox, had their last class today. Students were given fishing poles donated by Zebco to practice casting their lines with, but were surprised at the end of the class to find out the poles were theirs to keep. Thank you, Matt Knox, for volunteering your time and to Zebco for your donation to these Trojans!
