Jena Junior High School

We had a BLAST rewarding students for good behavior and attendance during the LEAP test!

Students earned points for:
- being on time for their LEAP.
- bringing a book to read after.
- taking their time/giving maximum effort.
- sitting quietly and not disturbing others.
- using scratch paper & online tools.

Students got 1 entry on the prize wheel for every 5 points throughout LEAP, and these were our winners!

Special thank you to the teachers, staff and community members who donated prizes for our kiddos!

Friday, May 15, 2026 we held a science fair for our 8th Grade students.
