Today our 3rd graders are having their Celebration of Learning, showcasing their Famous Oklahoman projects. Mrs. Kittelson's 3rd graders spent some time this morning with their 1st grade House Team buddies in Mrs. Gundy's class sharing their projects. This is a great opportunity for the students to practice presenting and to be attentive listeners.
The Kids on the Block puppet show is visited Southeast last week and today to teach into conflict resolution, safety, and standing up for yourself. Our students are having a great time learning these life skills. Thank you Kids on the Block for coming out to teach these valuable lessons!

Staying healthy and protecting yourself from germs is essential, especially during cold and flu season. Simple practices like frequent handwashing, using hand sanitizer, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals can significantly reduce your risk of illness. Additionally, maintaining a strong immune system through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can help your body fend off infections more effectively. Remember, small actions can make a big difference in keeping germs at bay!

Red Team's pillar is Health and Wellbeing and in this season of giving, Southeast Trojans and Families have a long-standing tradition of donating to families across the district. The compassion Southeast students and families show is a joy to watch unfold. Thank you so much for the amazing generosity during this holiday season. SE families provided wants and needs for 43 Trojan children from all over the district. We are very blessed to witness the thoughtfulness and compassion demonstrated by you all every year. The Trojan Tree children have been very well taken care off.
Trojans Read the Way Bookmobile will be headed out to our annual Winter Run this Saturday (12/21). All readers will receive 1 book + 1 holiday-themed book + a candy cane. Members of the Lady Trojan Basketball Team will be helping kids select books, take pics and maybe playing a little round of ball!
We will also be having a book drive, books in good condition (no writing), high interest books (especially graphic novels and young adult fiction). Books can be brought on Saturday 12/21 or dropped off at JPS education service center (at the reception desk).
Our summer book distribution was up 47% and we saw over 600 readers at East Elementary's Fall Fest so we need to replenish our book inventory. All wishlist are set up to be shipped directly to TRTW.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday...rumor is there might be a 'special guest' driving the book mobile. 🎅🏼
Second grade students under the direction of Mrs. Faber performed in their annual musical, The Nutcracker. Congratulations students and Mrs. Faber for all of your hard work and dedication. Both performances were fantastic!

Congratulations to our Nominees for the 2024-2025 Jenks Southeast Teacher of the Year!
Over the past three weeks, all 4th grade students created and participated in the first annual Thanksgiving Day Sphero balloon parade during their STEM rotation. Students used Sphero robots to guide their balloons through the parade route. This was a culminating project in a cross-curricular learning project. Classes read the picture book, "Balloons Over Broadway" and wrote an opinion writing piece about their balloon's entry in the parade. This was a favorite activity for both students and teachers.
Happy Thanksgiving Southeast Trojans! Excited to see you all on Monday.
Our first graders and teachers did Thanksgiving rotations designing balloons for the Macy’s Parade, writing what they are thankful for on vests and turkey hats, and making thankful bracelets. They shared all that they are thankful for at their Friendship Feast while eating lunch in the classroom!
House Team Tuesday. Academics Pillar- Today students met and focused their attention on spotting the differences in images.
Our third grade students honored Veterans in Southeast's Annual Veteran's Day music program. Afterwards, class visits and stories were shared throughout the school. Thank you Veterans for service to our country and sharing part of your day with us.
Thank you all of our sponsors and PTA for hosting our annual Run 4 Fun event today. It was great to see students and staff out on the tracks today running and walking. Thank you Ojan the Trojan and parents for cheering us on. #proudtobeJSE #togetherwecan #run4fun #runclub
