Jenks Middle School students will soon have a path to greater health thanks to a big donation. The Walton Family Foundation and Arvest Bank gave $10,000 to help pay for a fitness trail just west of the school. The Jenks Trojan Trail will have a quarter-mile walking area with fitness stations.

“We recognize the importance of wellness, not just mental attunes but physical wellness as well, so it's just one step in a plan that we have to address that growing trend of adolescent obesity," Jenks Middle School Assistant Principal Jeff Beyer said.

The new fitness trail should be finished by next month.
