Jenks keeps in tune with smart, educational music for kids

July 20, 2009 — Households in Troy, Idaho learned to expect musical excellence when the Jenkins family prepared their list of carols for the Christmas season.

Kip Jenkins, a former "Mr. Music" at Capital High School in Boise, is adept on the guitar and writes original songs. His wife, Cheri, plays the piano. The Jenkins children - a half-a-dozen total - learned to sing hymns and Primary songs along with daily scripture study.

"We sang together as a family," said Cheri. "Whether we were cleaning the house or out in the yard, there was always music."

Years later, two of the Jenkins children are still tapping their toes to original songs as founders of a band called "Jenks." The group specializes in smart, creative songs for kids with catchy riffs and educational lyrics.


The band, Jenks - which is comprised of Corey Jenkins and Annie Jenkins-Schatz, plays one of many shows in the Inland Northwest.

Edgley's conference address, "This is Your Phone Call", has tremendous ideas and suggestions for priesthood and Relief Society leaders to assist the unemployed. We are hearing many recent employment successes that have come through the ward efforts Bishop Edgley spoke of.
