Wishing everyone a safe, warm, and wonderful Holiday break. What fun we had the last week before winter break!

This week, Jenks East Elementary proudly announced Cathy Miner as our Classified Employee of the Year and Joyce Green as our Teacher of the Year!
Our staff recognized Cathy as the most positive, kind, and caring person—while somehow juggling everything in our front office. With 26 years of dedication to East Elementary, Cathy is truly the one who “just knows everything,” and we couldn’t imagine our school without her.
Joyce’s colleagues praise her incredible ability to build genuine connections with her second grade students and to intrinsically motivate learning. She’s a champion for her teammates, a mentor to others, and someone who goes above and beyond every single day.
Congratulations to both of our winners! Our school—and our community—are better because of your dedication, heart, and service.

JEE... Where ALL Belong. This year at Jenks East Elementary, our hallways and common areas are filled with "family portraits" from each class. A celebration of connection and community.
Big congratulations to the winners of our Yearbook Art Contest from our 3rd and 4th graders. Amazing job, artists! We’re so proud of your creativity!
🚗🥚 Egg-cellent Engineers in Action! 🥚🚗
Ms. Harris' fourth graders just wrapped up their "Egg Racers" science unit with a crackin' final challenge!
Students built rubber-band powered cars to race their egg passengers—learning all about energy transfer, teamwork, and the thrill of science in motion!
From designing and testing to naming their brave little eggs (Go Eggward and Shelly!), these young scientists showed off their creativity and collaboration every step of the way.
We’re SO proud of our future engineers and their egg-straordinary work!
