East Elementary - A Tradition of Excellence with a Vision for Tomorrow.

📍 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! 🌟

Introducing the 2024-25 Site Teachers of the Year! These educators were selected by their peers at each JPS site because of the way they connect with students, mentor colleagues, innovate in their classrooms, and consistently demonstrate the mission, vision, and values of Jenks Public Schools. These ten individuals are relentless advocates for students and public education. Our community is so fortunate to have teachers like these (and many others), who inspire our next generation of leaders with their genuine care and passion for what they do. Please join us in congratulating them!

Mrs. Green's 2nd grade class decided to take connections and community outside of the classroom for a fun outing. This sweet group of students met up to see Dog Man at the movies recently. It is such a joy to see students and families share time together outside of school while getting to see literature brought to the big screen. Thanks for sharing with us, Trojans!

Spring picture day is Friday, February 14th! Come with your smiles, Trojans!
