Jenks West Intermediate Trojans impressed Dr. Butterfield during her visit to Jenks West Intermediate! She joined Ms. Sikes’ algebra class, where students explored the changing costs of Thanksgiving groceries over time. Afterward, she stepped into TRAC (Trojans Reflecting and Connecting) with Coach Ponder to observe students practicing Portrait of a Graduate skills like communication, collaboration, and self-advocacy. Amazing things are happening at JWI!
