A Little More for Little Snack
How often do you think students spend their pocket money on everyday school snacks and vending machines? Pretty often, don’t you think? But aren’t you also curious on how some of some of the prices of the snacks change? Our student favorite lunch stand snacks are the Hershey Triple Chocolate cookie. Last year at Jenks High School, Hershey triple chocolate cookies were 75 cents. Now, they are 1 dollar.

Follow the Money: Why Oklahoma is Restricting Renewable Energy
I've always been an outside kid; for as long as I can remember, I preferred to spend every possible moment outdoors. This never really changed: whether I'm sitting on the back porch doing homework, running down a trail, or backpacking through the woods, I spend as much time as I possibly can in the fresh air. To me, it always seemed that no matter what problem you are dealing with, you can feel just a little better when you are outside. It always brought me a tiny sense of peace, no matter the circumstances.
The Price of Parking: What are We Really Paying For?
Every year the Jenks High School students who can drive have to make a decision to either pay for a $30 parking pass or take the hot and smelly bus to school every day. But why should we have to pay to park? Every year I hear lots of complaints from students about having to fill out long forms and pay the school and a lot of the students questioning what even is the point, what are they doing with our money, and how much do they even get from making us pay? After researching this, I have found that it makes no sense for us to have to pay.
