8th grade had the best time making memories on their last week of school! We walked all over downtown. We saw Super Mario Galaxy at Harkins Theater, visited the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame, had fun with a photo scavenger hunt at Myriad Gardens, and finished the week with an 8th grade picnic at Myriad Gardens! We will miss our amazing 8th graders, but wish them the very best on their next chapter.

Our first graders took an exciting journey into the world of hatching chicks through the 4-H Youth Development at Oklahoma County OSU Extension Service! Over 20–22 days, students tracked embryo development, candled eggs, created time-lapses of the chicks’ first pip, and prepared a cozy brooder for their arrival. One of their favorite moments was reading to the chicks! This hands-on experience brought science to life in the most memorable way. 🐣📚

Ms Griffin and Mrs. Hobsons classes had the opportunity to attend a special award ceremony honoring Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt as the recipient of the Bill Lowry Library Champion Award from the Oklahoma Library Association. Students enjoyed being part of this exciting community event and even getting to see Rumble! We are so thankful our students get opportunities to explore and connect with our downtown community.
