JENKS PUBLIC SCHOOLS ANNOUNCES SI TE TEACHERS OF THE YEAR Jenks Public Schools has announced its 2020-2021 Site Teachers of the Year. “The 2020-2021 JPS Site Teachers of the Year exemplify an incredible commitment to public education and a passion for making a difference in the lives of students. Selected by their peers for their outstanding contributions to our students and our schools, the following individuals are to be commended and congratulated for being named Site Teachers of the Year,” the district said last week in a news release. The District Teacher of the Year for 2020-2021 will be selected by a selection committee comprised of administrators and former JPS teachers of the year. Each teacher is interviewed and asked to respond to questions about teaching philosophy, leadership within their school site, representing Jenks Public Schools, as well as a variety of other issues facing public education.
2020-2021 JENKS PUBLIC SCHOOLS SITE TEACHERS OF THE YEAR Wendolyn Holland East Elementary Third Grade Teacher "As my students could tell you, I am passionate about how the brain works and the science behind learning. I love teaching students about what happens in their brain when they learn something new. When students learn that their brain grows best from tackling challenging tasks and making mistakes, the classroom comes alive with students that are more willing to take risks and try new strategies. Each year, as my students work towards having a growth mindset, I see their passion for learning explode, not just in the classroom, but in every facet of their lives."
Sandra Gruszeczka West Intermediate English Language Development Teacher & Site Coordinator "I do what I do because I know what it feels like to not speak the language spoken around you, to be unfamiliar to a culture and its traditions, or to feel like an outsider and not know where to begin the seemingly impossible process of feeling comfortable in this new country. Just as teachers made a difference in my life, eased my fears and gave me confidence, I try to dedicate the same time and talents to making a difference in the lives of my students."
Casey Mullins Northwest Elementary First Grade Teacher "I am motivated, inspired, and driven every day to build and grow a classroom community. I like to think that I have planted a tiny seed in my students to help them become readers, authors, mathematicians, and all-around good humans. I get to make every student feel safe and loved while helping them grow academically, and it is the recipe for the most inspiring job in the world. There is no other job where you can grow future leaders with the bonus of accidentally getting called "mom" at least 10 times a day by my classroom family."
Morgan Brown Middle School Art & Global Studies Teacher "The ever-changing nature of this job is my absolute favorite part. I take immense pleasure in pushing students out of their comfort zones and getting them to think and create in a way that they never have before. The moment of clarity and understanding after a period of struggle is the best thing in the whole world. Creative thinking and creative problem solving, which is art in a nutshell, takes practice and continuous struggle. Struggling with these intelligent, silly, and occasionally brilliant human beings that are my students, is a great honor. I truly can't imagine doing anything else."
Aimee Houston Southeast Elementary Fourth Grade Teacher "I want everyone I teach to know they have someone in their corner, cheering them on and believing in them. I want to be the person that shows up and loves, even when things get hard. Teaching makes me happy and fulfilled because I get to work with students and educators that inspire me. It matters to me that I do the best I can at this job because it is important work - teaching and loving children and helping them become resilient, kind individuals.
Andrea Tiger Alternative Center Mathematics Teacher "I teach because I love helping students learn to love math! I'm always telling them, 'Math Is Your Friend! You can depend on it, just like a great friend!' You can imagine their expressions and disgust with my enthusiasm. But then things slowly begin to change. My high school math classroom is no longer viewed as a "modern day torture chamber" and the students begin to believe me! I love helping students comprehend difficult concepts and watching them build self confidence in and out of the classroom."
Kim Dammann West Elementary STEM Facilitator "There are many rewards in teaching, but my favorite thing is getting to see the world through the eyes of students every day. I love to see them excited about learning. I love the look on their faces when they find success after tackling a difficult task or see something new for the first time. I love to see their creativity, quirkiness, humor, curiosity, diversity, and their unique personalities. They are truly inspirational and have the power to change the world." Emily Copsey East Intermediate Fifth Grade Language Arts Teacher "My motivation for teaching comes from my students. I was recently told by an administrator about a student who said they only come to school because of my class. Those are high standards to live up to for anyone, let alone someone who has as much influence in someone else's life as a teacher. It is my job to not only cover the curriculum, but also to make each child that walks into my classroom feel safe, loved, and welcome. Without the love and humor my students bring into my life every day, I know I would not be as fulfilled as I am."
Grace Alexander Freshman Academy Social Studies Teacher "My students are the reason I show up every day. I love getting to know them. When class discussions become exchanges of knowledge, opinions, and experiences, I'm in heaven. I also truly enjoy learning more information so I can share it with students. They don't seem to mind too much when I get geeky about history, and I'm grateful!" Mary Stutsman High School Special Education History Teacher "I love challenges and every year, new students walk into my classroom bringing unique needs and issues. It's motivating to me to find new ways to teach old material. There are always new technologies and strategies to try to help each student understand the work. I love building the relationships that get the students to trust me to lead them on this journey through U.S. History."
RANDOLPH VYING FOR JENKS AT-LARGE CITY COUNCIL SEAT
By Kyle Salomon
Jenks resident David Randolph has put his name in the hat for the At-Large seat on Jenks City Council. Randolph and his family have lived in Jenks since 2009 and he has served on the Jenks Planning Commission for the past several years. The Jenks citizen is running for the council seat, which will be vacated by current mayor Robert Lee following Lee’s current term. If Randolph wins the seat on April 6, he will not automatically become the next mayor of Jenks. Once the new council becomes official, a new mayor will be appointed from the six members. On top of being a part of the planning commission, Randolph has been involved in city business heavily since 2017. He formulated the “Keep Jenks Safe” petition, in an effort to fight off the butane expansion the former city council was looking at several years ago. “In my mind, Jenks is for families, businesses and parks. Not something that is potentially explosive and where nothing else can go near it. I wanted to communicate that to the city council then and they weren’t listening. That’s part of my platform, I want citizen input. I have worked on others’ campaigns and I have gotten to know the entire current city council through that process. I want to be a part of the process myself and I have very specific ideas on how to do that.” Randolph said being on the planning commission has taught him a lot. He also said his job as a transactional attorney has helped prepare him for a seat on the city council. As a planning commissioner, Randolph said he was instrumental in getting the new comprehensive plan approved, which took place last fall. He said the new comprehensive plan is a direct reflection of what his vision for the future of Jenks is and this new comprehensive plan is an upgrade from the previous plan. Randolph said he is running for city council because he wants to see his vision realized. “I have seen some great city councilors and have seen some not so great. That is the motivating factor in wanting to be on city council. I would like to professionalize the city and move away from the ‘good old boy’ system. Jenks has grown a lot and it needs a more highquality caliber city to go with it. This back scratching, good old boy approach is not what families here want with this modern economy we are trying to attract to Jenks. I am not afraid to take a stand on things I do believe in, even things that are a little touchy. One of those is the mask ordinance. Yeah, it’s hard, but it’s the right thing to do right now.” Randolph said his vision for the future of Jenks starts with infrastructure improvements. “We have done some, but we need more. We just need better roads and drainage is still a big problem. We are sort of doing this patchwork job, but I want a top to bottom comprehensive review. Jenks is growing and we need to plan for the next five or 10 years. I want to be an advocate for families. That relationship has been strained sometimes. I feel like it could be a lot better. I think there is more we could do for business. I think we have a great chamber of commerce, but one thing we haven’t done is reach out and target specific industries. For example, we need more of an entertainment district. I would love to have an indoor waterpark somewhere instead of the outlet mall because that is going nowhere. I think we need more parks because people love parks. I think we could be the No. 1 city people want to come to in Oklahoma. We have a good reputation already, but I think we can go from good to great.”

JENKS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL LAUNCHES 2021 DUB WEEK CAMPAIGN
-Bronze, $500, small advertisement on every official DUB Week T-shirt, small media shoutout and mention on single Jenks associated account, and written mention displayed on Progress Checkboard displayed at Dining Hall lunches You can email your business/organization logo to adam.peterson@jenksps.org.
For the third-consecutive year, as the spring semester gets underway, the Jenks High School Student Council has put its focus on DUB Week. One of the goals every academic year at Jenks High School is to teach students what they will need to thrive in life.
About “The Common Good”: The Common Good was formed to serve the families of northwest Tulsa. Its primary goal is to relationally provide resources, services and opportunities for the children and youth in the area, so they may overcome the social and economic challenges they face. This population faces challenges such as, half the population lives under the Federal Poverty Guideline, highest incarceration rate for women in Oklahoma, substandard housing, high-crime rate, 80% of students in kindergarten through high school are not reading at their grade level, few businesses or services in the community and the area qualifies as a food desert.
However, “empathy” can be a difficult topic to teach inside a classroom. Because of that, the Jenks High School Student Council has created an annual philanthropy initiative to impact the community and develop “empathy” with our students.
The Common Good focuses on education, career development, mentoring/counseling services, housing, advocacy, and sports/arts programs. They strive to stabilize families by increasing their household income and provide assistance for teens to launch into a career path.
That week is called DUB Week. The 2019-2020 school year was a success for DUB Week with more than $36,000 raised for “Make-A-Wish Oklahoma”. The donations assisted in sending five children with life-threatening illnesses on their dream vacation to Disney World. The Jenks High School student body was able to support not just the child, but the families also being affected.
The Jenks High School 2020-2021 Student Council includes: -Macy Johnson, Student Council President -Britton Barnes, Student Philanthropy Chair -Wyatt Smith, Student Council Officer -Will Mulready, Student Council Officer -Griffin Forbes, Student Council Officer -Reese Whitaker, Student Council Officer

This 2020-2021 school year, Jenks High School has partnered with “The Common Good”, located in northwest Tulsa. “The Common Good” is a community center, which helps people living in poverty within an area known as the “forgotten zip code”. It provides services, resources, and opportunities, so people, especially children, can overcome the challenges they face growing up in that specific community. The Jenks High School Student Council has decided to give back and bring hope to this community by helping them install a commercial kitchen. This kitchen will allow them to directly feed people, teach people to cook, and help entrepreneurs launch businesses in this impoverished area. The estimated cost of this kitchen is $78,000. The student council’s hope is the Jenks community can raise a substantial amount of money toward this goal. The JHS Student Council is inviting all Jenks community businesses and organizations to partner with them in helping this community known as “the forgotten zip code”. The most “clear-cut” way to reach this goal is through donations, but if you have other ideas of how you can help, here are some people associated with Jenks High School you can contact: Adam Peterson – Student Council Advisor adam.peterson@jenksps.org Elissa Mahaffey – Student Council Advisor elissa.mahaffey@jenksps.org Britton Barnes – Student Philanthropy Chair – britton.barnes73@jenksms.com

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM By Sarah Clavin To the movers and shakers, to the world changers; this one is for you. Have you got a dream in your heart? A song in your soul? A vision in mind? Chase it. Run after it and don’t look back. Keep your vision 20/20 ahead less you get distracted by the haters and naysayers. That dream was meant for you, planted in your heart by the creator of this universe. Just. For. You. You are fully equipped with all the necessary skills and resources to move it towards fruition, to make it a reality and to thrive in it. “The world belongs to those who chase their dreams”. -Eleanor Roosevelt You can expect both support and setbacks along the way. Followers will come and go, and when the limelight fades, that’s when the real work begins. Stay up late, get your hands dirty, rise and grind kind of work. The progress may plateau, but don’t give up. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, when the work isn’t worth the reward, and time spent is in vain, things will turn a corner. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel, just enough to spark a new flame to fuel you toward the end. The world needs you. They need to see you, celebrate you, and push you. The world needs creative thinkers, problem solvers, and entrepreneurs. So, don’t be timid, don’t be afraid to step out and say, ‘I have a dream, an idea, something to offer.’ You bring life to the mundane, you create solutions where none could be found, you are proof that there is not always one right way. So, keep swimming upstream, fighting the good fight, forging your own path. And when your dream becomes a reality, when your vision becomes concrete, we will be there to celebrate for you and alongside you and to cheer you on into your next venture. Let your passion lead the way. When someone tells you it can’t be done, remember they speak from their own limiting beliefs. So, surround yourself with the believers, with the dreamers, the rule breakers and those who want to sail the blue oceans. “When you know your purpose, opposition is simply a hurdle on the way to your destiny” -Neil Kennedy Maybe you can’t go back and rewrite the first chapter, but your story is not over. The most exciting chapters are yet to be written. And what an adventure the story will be. The challenge of constant change, the roller coaster of emotions, the wins, the losses and the championships. The real competition is not the man standing next to you. The real competition is the man you were yesterday. Go out and be better than him. Hone your craft, sharpen your skills, create answers to questions that haven’t been asked yet. The goal is to die with memories, not dreams. So, remember, it only takes one person to change the world, and you know what, I bet it’s you.

JENKS GE TS REVENGE ON BIXBY The Jenks boys basketball team got back to its winning ways last Friday with a 79-57 win over Bixby. The Trojans avenged their loss to the Spartans, which happened early in the season. Jenks returned to action the following day on Saturday for a home matchup with Tulsa Webster. The Trojans completed the season sweep of Webster with a 70-50 win to improve to 11-4 on the season. Jenks was slated to host Owasso Tuesday, but inclement weather forced the game to be postponed. Jenks is set to travel to Muskogee for an 8 p.m. contest with the Roughers. Photos/Hayden Tucker
