Mrs. Long took a few Okeene FCS students to FCS Day at the Oklahoma Capitol last week. They were recognized from the house floor by representative Mike Dobrinski. After, they met with him in his office along with representative Tim Turner and Senator Jech.

Yesterday, the Okeene FFA Officers attended FFA Day at the Capitol. The officers had the opportunity to hear from the Speaker of the House, the Senate Pro Tempore, and other key legislative leaders. They also met with Representative Mike Dobrinski and Senator Darcy Jech to discuss the Oklahoma FFA program and current agricultural legislation.
It was a great day of leadership, advocacy, and representing agricultural education at the state level.
A new sidewalk is being poured behind the old gym. Students need to avoid this area before, during, and after school. JH/HS students will need to walk around the old gym for Ag class and go out the auditorium doors for STEM, lunch and band. Elementary students should not be back there at all over the next several days. Please help us facilitate this by reminding your students to take a different route when going to band, Ag, STEM and lunch. Thank you!

Second graders turned history class into an exciting hands-on experience this week by using a 3D printer to create a “Mystery President” for their classmates to guess. The project combined technology, research, creativity, and a whole lot of curiosity as students explored the lives of past and current U.S. presidents in a fun and interactive way.
The students who correctly guessed the “Mystery President” were entered into a drawing to receive the presidential bust. Also, each student received a miniature replica of the president of their choice.
Thank you Mrs. Hutchison for sharing this project and sparking excitement about learning.
Our 6th & 6th graders have been learning and improving so much this year under the leadership of Mr. A. Join them on February 24th for a band concert at 7:00 in the auditorium. 🎼🎶
