Middle School - A Tradition of Excellence with a Vision for Tomorrow.

Yesterday, 25 Jenks Middle School girls from 7th and 8th grade attended the Women in Science Conference at the Science Museum in Oklahoma City! 💡 The students had the opportunity to practice their engineering skills, hear from a panel of inspiring scientists, attend a job fair filled with creative science activities and experiments, and explore the museum. It was an exciting and empowering day full of learning, curiosity, and fun! 🧪✨

Key collaborations!! Intro to stagecraft classes working on the set for Newsies, Jr. It is cool how our vocal music and drama departments work together to make this happen.

As part of our ongoing commitment to health and wellness, we invite all students, staff, and parents to join us for the Jenks Half on November 8.

Jenks Middle School Gamers Compete in Bixby Smash Brothers Tournament

On Saturday, October 25th, students from Jenks Middle School put their gaming skills to the test at the Bixby Middle School Smash Brothers Tournament, joining 81 competitors from local middle and high schools.

Leading the Jenks competitors, Atticus Kelley finished strong with an impressive 9 Standing after going 4-2. Other players representing Jenks Middle School were: Logan Truskett, Declan Kelley, Rodrigo Perez, Asher Kelley, Brecken Martin, Jacob Schooley, and Logan McBride.

Coach Mason praised the team’s efforts, saying, “This is the first tournament we have competed in and I am very proud of our players. They supported each other and demonstrated good sportsmanship throughout the tournament. Every match helped them grow as competitors.”

Thank you to our cafeteria crew for keeping us fed and festive! 🧡🕸️

Sra. Gonzalez's Spanish 1 and 2 classes worked on Ancestor, Biography or Beloved Pet reports as part of their cultural study of the Day of the Dead holiday that is original to Mexico and Central America. She has taken part in the Tulsa Living Arts Day of the Dead Festival downtown for 6 years. Here are pictures of their display with student projects who elected to take part in the festival. Profe Tez's top 3 projects will also be on display.

Please consider visiting this FREE EVENT this Saturday, Nov. 1 from 11am to 11pm at the Tulsa Living Arts museum across from the Guthrie Green if you would like to see their display and learn more about the beauty of this cultural tradition that is neither Halloween nor focused on the scary side of things. Day of the Dead is truly a Memorial Day celebration focused on the warm feeling we get from remembering our loved ones, even after they are gone from this world.

Our staff showed up and showed out today in support of Down Syndrome Awareness.

This week, Mrs. Hannon and the JMS TSA leadership team attended the Trojan Leadership conference. They spent the morning learning about leadership and the afternoon serving in the community. Way to go Trojans!🙌

Mrs. Tez's classes created Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead ofrendas honoring loved ones, pets, and impactful people in student’s lives. These altars often have pictures of the honored, marigolds, calavera skulls, and things that they did or liked. It was a fun project for students to remember their loved ones and people who have made an impact in their lives!

Students and Teachers voted today for their favorites and we had over 500 votes cast! ¡Muy buen trabajo a todos!
