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.
