Dr. Butterfield’s final site visit of the school year took us to the Alternative Center, where students in Ms. Cox’s Career Exploration class worked through a hands-on budgeting challenge. Using beans to represent income, students paid for essentials like housing, groceries, transportation, insurance, and more while also navigating unexpected life events like pay cuts, injuries, and car repairs. These are the kinds of lessons that help students feel ready, capable, and excited for what comes next. Great work, Trojans!

Some of the most meaningful moments in a student’s life begin in a classroom. A word of encouragement. A challenge to think bigger. A teacher who sees potential before a student sees it in themselves.

As we wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week with some of our favorite teacher pics from this past school year, we celebrate the educators who create those memories every day at Jenks Public Schools. From Pre-K to graduation, in every classroom, studio, lab, field, and performance space, our teachers are pushing students to grow into the very best version of themselves.

To every JPS teacher: thank you for showing up, pouring in, and making a difference that students will carry with them for a lifetime.
