Our Daily Pledge

I pledge today to do my best in reading, math, and all the rest.
I promise to obey the rules, in my class and in my school.

I respect myself and others, too.
I expect the best in all I do.

I’m here today to learn all I can, to try my best, and be all I am.

Jonathan Jennings School 109

Jonathan Jennings is a true neighborhood school serving the Gateway Neighborhood. This close
proximity has contributed to positive relationships among students, families and community
partners

Our building is located on 10 acres which includes an outdoor classroom, a playground built by the Indianapolis Colts, a quarter miles asphalt track, and a Big Green Learning Garden.

We are currently involved with the Roots to Read grant in affiliation with the Herbert Simon Foundation. This grant is being used primarily for additional staff, a remodeled library, and new
books to promote students’ love of reading.

Our strong community partners contribute to our success by donating over $5000 to build students’ home libraries, donations to grow our Robotics team, homework helpines, tutoring, Fitbits for students, and in numerous other ways.
