Yesterday our elementary students had a special visit from Storm Educator James McMillan from News Channel 8! He taught students about what causes storms, how weather forms, and most importantly what to do when severe weather strikes.
Students loved learning about meteorology and asking great questions about tornadoes, thunder, and lightning. Thank you, Mr. McMillan, for helping our students learn how to stay safe during Oklahoma storm season!

Mrs. Pummill and Mr. Lancaster had the opportunity to take our junior high and high school students to STEM Day at Central Tech in Drumright, and it was a great day of learning, teamwork, and competition! Our students spent time preparing ahead of the event and worked hard to be ready for the different STEM challenges they would face.
We are very proud of how well they represented our school by showing determination, positive attitudes, and strong teamwork.
We are excited to share that two of our students Grace Sissom and Alyssa Loterbauer earned 3rd place in the Marshmallow Catapult challenge! Their hard work, planning, and persistence paid off, and we are very proud of their accomplishment.
We would also like to give a shout-out to Mr. Hays for helping prepare students leading up to the competition and supporting them along the way.
