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

🎶 Our amazing 8th grade band brought the energy this morning—playing the fight song as students entered the building for Homecoming! 💥🥁 School spirit is strong at the middle school!

Thank you PTAG for bring the excitement today! 🤩 8th graders ALMOST beat the teachers in the Smashdown tournament today....ALMOST! 🏆Even Dr. Brown got in on the action after the students chanted for him egged on by Coach Glenn. 😋

Today our amazing staff surprised students with "Anything BUT a mug or water bottle" ☕️🚰and the reactions were priceless! 🙌💥 It’s all about keeping things fun, fresh, and totally unexpected. 1 more day of spirit week left!

💥🏆 SMASHDOWN 2025: 7th Grade Dodgeball Tournament! Our students brought the energy, the hustle, and the heat — but in the end, the teachers dodged, ducked, dipped, and dived their way to victory! 😎 Great sportsmanship and even better memories! 💪🎉

🎒❌ It’s Anything But a Backpack Day and our students did NOT disappoint! From laundry baskets to shopping carts, creativity was rolling through the hallways today 😂👏

🌈 Science is measuring up! Yesterday in Mrs. Swift’s 7-4 Science class, students practiced their measuring skills through the Rainbow Lab! Using graduated cylinders, they carefully measured different volumes of colored water to create their very own test tube rainbows. 🌈 This fun and colorful activity helped students learn how to accurately measure liquid volumes while practicing the metric system — specifically milliliters (mL). Great job, young scientists! 🧪✨

We couldn't pass up the opportunity to show more rhyme without reason spirit week photos! 🤗

🎭 Spirit Week fun continues with today’s theme: Rhyme Without Reason! From “witch and Stich” to “chef and ref,” our students got creative (and hilarious) pairing up in rhyming outfits that made zero sense—but total fun! 😄👏 We love seeing all the school spirit and imagination on display! 💫 Can you guess these rhymes? Comment on the picture if you know!!!

Today is the last day to buy your Smashdown ticket, shirt, or entry fee to play dodgeball! Help support JMS through this PTAG fundraiser.

JMS Health & Wellness teachers were invited to present at a state conference (OAHPERD - Oklahoma Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance). They got to share some of the amazing things happening in their department at JMS, inspire future educators, and network with other professionals.

Way to represent JMS Trojans!

🌺 Aloha, Trojans! 🌴 Spirit Week is in full swing, and today brought all the island vibes! Our students and staff showed up in their best Hawaiian shirts, leis, and tropical accessories—spreading sunshine and school spirit all around campus. Tomorrow is Rhyme without Reason!

At JMS, we love to promote a wellness event each semester, and this fall we’re encouraging everyone to join us for the Jenks Half (5K run/walk is also available) on November 8! 🏃
We already have several staff members signed up and would love to see students and parents participate too. It’s a great way to get active, have fun, and represent JMS together!

Talent meets opportunity.

Niang Kop was selected as a Young Scholar in the Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars Program. More than 1,000 students across the country applied and the eighth grader at Jenks Middle School is one of only 65 students chosen for this prestigious scholarship.

The Cooke Young Scholars Program is a highly competitive pre-college scholarship for exceptionally promising students. Niang will receive comprehensive academic and college advising, as well as financial support and access to summer programs, internships, and other learning enrichment opportunities.

Niang is in the AVID program at JMS where she receives guidance and support from her teacher, Noel Suggs. Her recommendation was submitted by her math teacher, Shelly Davis.

Congrats to Niang on achieving this honor!

Our vocal music department would love your support!🎼

Energy on the move!
Team 7-2 (Nolte) students brought the law of conservation of energy to life through hands-on lab stations, each showing how one form of energy powers another. Throughout science class, they’ve learned that energy can’t be created or destroyed—it simply changes or converts to other forms.

At each station, students tested how changing one factor affected the energy output, made a claim, and identified the energy conversion that took place (e.g. radiant → electrical in a solar panel or chemical → radiant in a glowstick).

These quick demonstrations showed students how science helps us understand the world around us—and emPOWERs us to harness its energy!

🎃🐐 Mr. Pillow's students had a blast learning outside the classroom! From exploring the pumpkin patch to meeting animals at the exhibit, they got hands-on lessons in nature, agriculture, and science—all while having fun. 🍂📚 What an unforgettable way to learn! 🌟
