🎨 Huge congratulations to our incredible Jenks artists!

We are so proud to share that A.S. Jenks students were recognized in the Philadelphia School District’s 70th Annual Art Show 🎉

Out of 218 schools and more than 3,000 submitted pieces of artwork, only 17 elementary students across the district received individual awards… and Jenks received TWO of them!

👏 Congratulations to:
✨ Dennis Potts for winning the CASA Art Award
✨ Henry Uy for winning the Delta Sigma Theta Award

What an incredible accomplishment and a beautiful reflection of the creativity, talent, and hard work of our students.

We also want to celebrate all of the Jenks artists who participated in this special exhibit. Having artwork selected for the district show is an achievement in itself, and we are so proud of every student who shared their creativity with the community.

A special thank you to Ms. Remer for supporting and encouraging our young artists every step of the way 💙

Teacher Appreciation Week at Jenks is always something special but this year felt extra meaningful.

To our incredible teachers at Jenks, thank you. For the patience you bring on the hard days, the creativity you bring to every lesson, and the way you show up for our kids again and again. You are shaping more than academics. You are building confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging that our kids carry with them long after they leave your classrooms.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we are so grateful our kids get to learn from you.

We were so happy to celebrate our teachers this week with food from Juana Tamale. It made the day feel extra special, and it means even more to support a local business that is also part of the Jenks community.

Jenks shows up for each other in the best ways, and this week was such a beautiful example of that.
