Each spring, students from across Oklahoma are recognized at the Oklahoma Education Awards for Arts Excellence. This is a prestigious event that honors outstanding high school juniors and seniors for their talent and dedication in the arts.
The 36th annual ceremony will be held on April 21st at the Guthrie Scottish Rite Center, recognizing students in areas such as dance, drama/theatre, instrumental music, piano, visual arts, and vocal music. This year, 145 students statewide were selected for this honor.
We are proud to share that Okeene’s own Caden Reames was named one of just 38 students in the Instrumental Music category!
This recognition reflects not only incredible talent, but also the hard work and commitment that make the arts so impactful in our schools and communities.
Congratulations, Caden! We are proud of you!🎶

📚🐛 First Grade Book Worm Day! 🐛📚 Today our first graders had an exciting Book Worm Day in class! The students spent the day reading their hearts out and celebrating their love for books. Every time a student finished and passed a book, they earned a piece of candy. Their goal was to read enough books to make 8 hundreds, and if they reached that goal, they will receive a special treat from Mrs. Unruh! The students had so much fun encouraging each other, turning pages, and diving into story after story. Their excitement for reading was amazing to see! Out of 19 students, our class read and passed an incredible 171 books today! 🎉📖 What an awesome accomplishment! Mrs. Unruh is so proud of how hard these first graders worked and how much they enjoyed reading. Way to go, first grade book worms! 🐛💚
1st Grade had a very special visitor in their classroom! 📚🐷
Mrs. Schultz joined the class today to read the fun story, If You Give a Pig a Pancake. The students loved listening and following along with the silly adventures in the book.
After the story, Mrs. Schultz surprised each student with their very own little pig to adopt! 🐖 Over spring break, the students will name their pig and take it along on their adventures. They will write a short story about all the fun things their pig did during the break.
We can’t wait to hear about the pigs’ spring break adventures! Thank you, Mrs. Schultz, for spending time with 1st grade and making today so special.
