Dr. Butterfield just wrapped up a fantastic site visit at Jenks Alternative Center.

Thank you, teachers, for allowing us into your classrooms!
Four JHS students have been selected as semifinalists in the 2024-25 Coca-Cola Scholarship Program!

This incredible experience kicked off the third year of Growing through the Arts, an immersive art initiative supported by the Jenks Public Schools Foundation. Growing Through The Arts creates unique experiences in the arts for pre-k through 11th grade students, whether that be observing at an art museum, engaging with the Tulsa Ballet, or even exploring at the Discovery Lab. Each grade will have a different experience engaging in the arts as they grow. Here's to another year of exploring the arts!
An autumn breeze and endless laughter filled the air at Northwest Elementary's Fall Picnic today! It was a beautiful afternoon for first grade families to enjoy lunch outside with their students and make unforgettable memories. A heartfelt thank you to all who came out!

It looks like spooky science, but it's just an opportunity for Ms. Haase's Advanced Anatomy and Physiology class to learn about wounds and burns hands-on! Jenks High School students have been studying how wounds and burns heal, and today they applied that knowledge by creating artificial wounds to determine the stage of healing, type of healing, degree of the burn, and more!
(Just another reminded that none of these wounds are real!)
