Art students at Jenks High School made these stunning drawings and paintings for the recent Create For A Cause event to benefit Building All Children. Our friends at TTCU Federal Credit Union purchased these pieces and then donated the art back to the students. Proceeds from the sale of the artwork will be used by Building All Children to assist families and students with literacy needs. Amazing stuff, Trojans!
IT IS OFFICIAL!
The Jenks Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve Tuesday, May 28 as the last day of school for the 2023-24 school year. June 3 was the original last day of school on the instructional calendar. Because JPS used only one of the five weather days built into the instructional calendar on January 22, the last day of school for students is shifted from June 3 to May 28. Wednesday, May 29 will be a teacher workday at elementary, intermediate, and secondary sites.
Congrats to JHS senior, Alex Lein, on winning the pin design contest for the 2024 Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference! Alex, a talented graphic designer, used skills acquired in Foundations of Web Design class at JHS and the Multimedia Design class at Tulsa Tech to create the winning pin design based on the conference location of Chicago, Illinois. Pins with her design will be produced and distributed to every conference attendee. Alex has seized the opportunities offered at JHS and Tulsa Tech to create a career pathway, and she is well on her way to an incredible career in the design industry. Way to go, Alex!
