This past Saturday, WMPN participated in the Pathways Drive-Thru Resource Fair and Drug Take Back Event. Organizations were set up to share resources with the community, and attendees did not have to leave their vehicles. WMPN gave out educational resource bags, medication disposal bags, and lockboxes.

We were able to collect 13 pounds of medication and 18 pounds of sharps, which all help to keep our communities safer and help prevent accidental overdose. Thank you to the City of Duncan OK- Police Department for helping with the collection and safely disposing of medications, and the City of Duncan OK- Fire Department for picking up our sharps disposal containers and storing them until the medical waste company could pick them up.

If you were not able to attend this event and have medication(not sharps) you need to dispose of, you can drop off at the following locations:

Jefferson County Sheriff's Department- Waurika
Thompson's Pharmacy in Comanche
Marlow Police Department
In Duncan:
DRH Health (ER Entrance)
Duncan Police Department
R & S Drug #3
Stephen's County Sheriff's Department

💚🔥 OUR JUNIOR PRESENTERS. OUR PRIDE. OUR FUTURE. 🔥💚

Y'ALL. If there's one thing about the inaugural Comanche County Youth Summit that deserves its own VERY special post, it's our Junior Presenters!

These incredible young leaders were selected back in March. Since then, they've shown up, leaned in, learned, practiced, collaborated, grown, and poured their hearts into something bigger than themselves.

From our Junior Presenter Kick-Off in May to summer training, preparation meetings, co-presenting workshops, leading activities, and facilitating peer-led discussions, these students committed MONTHS of their time and energy to making this summit a success.

And when September 23 arrived?

THEY SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT! 🙌

They stood alongside adult professionals as co-presenters. They helped their peers navigate important conversations. They led activities, facilitated small-group discussions, and demonstrated what happens when young people are trusted, empowered, and given meaningful opportunities to lead.

They weren't simply participants in the inaugural Comanche County Youth Summit. They were an essential part of its vision, its planning, and its success.

To our Junior Presenters: thank you for your courage, your commitment, your creativity, your honesty, your willingness to grow, and your belief in what this summit could become.

You have single-handedly left an indelible mark on our community, and the impact of your leadership will be felt for years to come. You have shown us what is possible when youth aren't just invited into the conversation but are trusted to help lead it.

We hope you recognize how extraordinary this accomplishment is. You should be proud of yourselves, because WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!

This is bigger than one day. It's about building a generation of young leaders who know their voices matter, their choices matter, and they have the power to make a difference.

Thank you for being the first cohort of Junior Presenters for the Comanche County Youth Summit. What you've helped build is something special, and we cannot wait to see what you do next!

You didn't just help us LEVEL UP. You showed our entire community what leveling up looks like! 💚🔥

Thank you so much to Cotton Electric Charitable Foundation for your continued support.

💃🎨🧘‍♀️ WHO SAYS LEARNING CAN'T BE FUN?! 🧘‍♀️🎨💃

One of the things we wanted for the inaugural Comanche County Youth Summit was an experience that went beyond sitting in a classroom. We wanted our sixth graders to move, create, collaborate, laugh, try something new, and make connections along the way!

And LET ME TELL YOU… our activity leaders DELIVERED! 🙌

A huge thank-you to the amazing people who made our afternoon activities such a hit:

💃 Line Dancing: Our incredible Junior Presenters Katelin Krieg, Alexandra Mabis, and Sheridyn Wise

🧘 Tai Chi: Tanya Organ of the Lawton Public Library

🏅 Y-lympics: Jennifer Keener and Alyssa Sanchez of the Lawton YMCA

🎭 Theater: Michael Harden of Lawton Community Theater

🔬 STEM: Raegan Martin-Teakell of FISTA STEM Lab

🎶 Zumba: Samantha Graham

🎨 Art: Alyssa Cox

Thank you for bringing your creativity, enthusiasm, and talents to our summit! Each activity gave students an opportunity to explore something new, build connections, and experience the importance of wellness, teamwork, self-expression, and trying new things.

A special thank you to our Junior Presenters who stepped into leadership roles and helped guide their peers through the fun. Watching young people lead other young people is exactly why this summit matters!

We are so grateful to every activity leader who gave their time and energy to create an afternoon our students won't soon forget.

Community, connection, creativity, and a whole lot of FUN! That's how we LEVEL UP! 💚
