Trivia
- Jenna does not like hockey because she finds it dumb.[6]
- George mistakenly thinks she has a crush on him. This is because in "Jenna's Bedtime Blues," she lies that she does due to her real biggest secret, (that she occasionally wets the bed) being too embarrassing.
- She plays badminton, and is the badminton champion.[6]
- Jenna helped coach pee-wee soccer.[7][6]
- Jenna helps coach the wheelchair basketball team.
- Despite the same last name, she is not related to Ms. Morgan.
- Jenna won the athlete of the year award at her school.[6]
- It is revealed in "Jenna's Bedtime Blues", that she suffers from nocturnal enuresis.
- Seeing as her father wet the bed as a kid, and that nocturnal enuresis can be genetic, it's possible Jenna inherited her nocturnal enuresis from him.
- Jenna is midfielder for the Lakewood Soccer Team.[citation needed]
- She is allergic to milk (as revealed in season 9's "Binky Goes Nuts".) This means that her immune system overreacts to milk, potentially causing anaphylaxis. This is different from lactose-intolerance, where people simply lose the ability to digest milk sugar.
- she was shown drinking milk in season 6's The Good Sport, indicating it might be a recently acquired allergy
- She spoke for the first time by saying, "Hey Buster, how's it going? Grab a stool." In "Buster Makes the Grade".
- The last time she was heard properly speaking, until Season 18, was the episode "Binky Goes Nuts".
- She can be heard cheering with Sue Ellen, in "The Agent of Change".
- In "Through the Looking Glasses", Arthur spoke to Jenna in the hallway at school, making it the first time since "Do You Speak George?" that Jenna has ever been talked to, referenced, or even mentioned.
