Our Rockets proudly took the stage at ISTELive with four incredible presentation teams, sharing how leadership, innovation, technology, and student voice are transforming learning every day at John Rex Charter School. Presenters included our third grade student leadership team, the Rocket Rangers, alongside Ms. Goode, Mrs. Alexander, and Mr. Kellert; two presentations led by our third grade teachers, Miss Reese, Mrs. Villanueva, Mrs. Nelson, and Ms. Clanton; and a presentation led by Ms. Audas and Mr. Duffy.

As one of the world's largest educational technology conferences, the International Society for Transforming Education brings together thousands of educators from around the globe to share ideas shaping the future of education. This year, John Rex students and staff didn't just attend. They led conversations, represented Oklahoma with pride, and showcased the innovative learning happening at John Rex.

From Oklahoma to Orlando, our Rockets showed what's possible when students and staff are empowered to lead! 🚀

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.
