(See also Membership in Organizations, and Purchasing Policy:  Acceptance of Gratuities)

It is not required that employees of the Jenks Schools contribute financially to any organization or activity, national, state, or local. 

Any organized and/or required sharing of gifts by students during the school day is discouraged. The trading of gifts by club members and other “non-school-hour activities” members is also discouraged.

Additionally, students bringing gifts for teachers and/or administrators is discouraged, as well. Some Jenks students do not have the financial wherewithal to participate in trading gifts, yet peer pressure places them in the position of participating in such activities. The School Board recommends the following alternative activities: group or individual contributions to a favorite charity, adopt a family (through District resources, a school community service project, or other recognized community agency), and school beautification projects.
