JEI 5th and 6th Grade Archery Team members, led by PE Teacher Peggy Morrow, competed Saturday at JEI. Many former JEI students also competed for the Jenks Middle School Archery Team. Way to go!
5th Grade students experienced a day in the life of a Colonial child through Colonial Day Stations. The experiences included button making, sewing, quill pen writing, making and playing with colonial toys, playing colonial games, wig making and so much more! They even experienced making their own butter! It was a day filled with fun, through real life experiences.

On December 6th, Nicolette Hall took 15 MathCounts club members to Holland Hall for a mock competitions with other schools in our region. Adam Sallam and Kendall Oyeyo scored in the top 3 mixed round teams, where they were with students from other schools. Kendall teamed up with her sister from JMS! Ethan Forth took home the Top 6th Grader award. Many EI alumni swept the competition and proved they are way taller than Mrs. Hall now. Go Jenks!
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 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 the 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 wish lists 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 bookmobile! 🎅
