In Mr. Sweeney's science course, students used homemade solar ovens to heat up S'mores. A tasty way to end the trimester on February 13th!
Just the beginning. The February graduates of the Jenks Alternative Center put in the work and like those in the trimesters before, they fully embraced the family culture, smaller class sizes, and credit recovery process to achieve this milestone. Congrats to these grads and huge thanks to the JAC staff members who never waver in their support of students and loyalty to the program!
