Come out and support these girls!
Students at Jenkins Middle and Burdine Elementary had an exciting visit on Friday from the Brick Mobile and Duane Keaton!
Through a hands-on STEM challenge, students explored real-world engineering principles by designing and building towers strong enough to withstand earthquake-like forces. Activities like this spark curiosity, build problem-solving skills, and introduce students to future careers in engineering and STEM fields.
We’re excited to bring this engaging experience to more Neighborhood schools soon! 🚀

JMHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK of March 9th - 13th!
Calling all Cavalier Dads! ⚔️🟢
The first Cavalier Dadvocacy meeting reminded us of something powerful: when dads come together, good things happen for our kids, our school, and our community.
What started as a simple conversation quickly became a room full of honesty, laughter, and real support between fathers who all share the same goal: showing up for our students.
Now we’re building on that momentum.
📅 Second Meeting: Thursday, March 12. 4:30-6pm.
📍 Jenkins High School
If you’re a father or father figure of a Jenkins Cavalier, this space is for you. No lectures. No pressure. Just real conversation, support, and a shared commitment to helping our students succeed.
Come pull up a chair and join us!
GO CAVS.
