Another spectacular Buddy Baseball event this weekend at Hinch Field filled with home runs and high fives! The friendships and memories made from sharing the field together are simply irreplaceable and at the heart of this Jenks Trojan Baseball tradition for 19 years and counting. Thanks to the students, players, coaches, boosters, and fans for making this an unforgettable day on the diamond!
And the kids were runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'...Picture perfect day to take a lap (or 10!) at the Jenks West Elementary Jog-a-Thon! Thanks to all the teachers, staff members, and parent volunteers who make this event possible and take the time to cheer on our students. Shout out to the members of the Jenks Cross Country squad for showing up to run alongside and provide as many high-fives as possible!
Better than your average greeting!

Our Trojans are always leading the way!
