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!

📍 918 Day at Jenks East Elementary! Mayor Monroe Nichols stopped by for a special visit, getting a student-led tour of the Rentie Grove Historical Trail — a powerful tribute to the community that once stood where the school now stands.
Special guest John Green, a former Rentie Grove resident and student, joined the celebration, bringing history to life with his presence.
👏 Shoutout to Harry Maud, Jenks High senior and former East Elementary student, who created the trail as part of his Eagle Scout project. He and current JEE students shared fascinating facts from 1905 and beyond as they guided Mayor Nichols through this incredible piece of local history.
What a day to celebrate Jenks, our past, and our bright future! 🌟
