The Book Fair is here early! You can set up your ewallets at https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/okeeneelementaryschool
We will open on Thursday and Friday during school. We will be open during Parent Teacher Conferences as well! We are trying a coinless book fair this year. We will accept coins as payment, but we will not be making change. Instead, we will donate the change to "Share the Fair" to help buy books for our students.

We are honoring 2 senior softball players on Monday, Sept. 14th around 5 PM between the JH and HS games vs Cherokee on Monday at our OHS softball field. Congrats to Bella Swartwood and Fatima Molina! #legacyliveshere
3rd Grade Stem Lab fun! Mrs. Hutchinson always has the best Stem lessons! The students made Non-Newtonian Fluid, and learned about the states of matter.
Homecoming is October 9. Mum order forms will be going home soon. Please contact Mrs. Fisher with any questions. These can be seen in person at the high school. Thank you for your support of Student Council.
Last week we featured Outstanding Alumni Donald Dumler (1938-2016) for our "Legacy Lives Here" theme. He was a 1957 Okeene graduate, an OU Graduate and a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music. He was widely known as an outstanding organist and musician. You have to start somewhere and this occasion was in Okeene, Oklahoma, at the age of twelve when he performed for the closing banquet of the annual rattlesnake hunt. Since that time, the venues changed. Mr. Dumler has played his share of Masses for celebrities, including the funerals of Ed Sullivan and Bing Crosby. He also played many of the 9-11 funeral masses. Beyond the 9/11 masses, Dumler famously played for the papal visits of Pope John Paul II in 1979 and 1995, performed in front of multiple U.S. Presidents, and broadcasted 43 televised Christmas Midnight Masses to millions of viewers worldwide #legacyliveshere
The Lady Whippet softball games tonight against Calumet have been canceled.
Yesterday, our sophomores visited Southwestern Oklahoma State University to explore some of the exciting educational and career opportunities available to them. Students toured the Instructional Technology program, which emphasizes applied engineering and manufacturing, as well as SWOSU’s nursing program. These experiences gave our students a closer look at possible career paths and the many opportunities waiting for them after high school.
Thank you, SWOSU, for welcoming our students and helping them begin thinking about their futures!
There will be a Whea-Esta meeting next Monday night (9/14) at 7:30pm in the auditorium for any 9-12th grade girls interested in participating.
Okeene Public Schools is incredibly proud to announce that Bridger Hursh has been named a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist, which is one of the most prestigious academic honors a high school student can earn!
Each year, more than one million students across the country enter the National Merit Scholarship Program. Only about 1% of high school seniors nationwide advance to the semifinalist level. Bridger’s exceptional PSAT/NMSQT performance placed him among Oklahoma’s highest scoring students and the nation’s most academically accomplished seniors.
This recognition is an extraordinary achievement for Bridger and a tremendous honor for Okeene Public Schools. It reflects years of hard work, dedication, academic excellence, and the support of the teachers and family members who have encouraged him throughout his education.
Bridger, you have represented our school and community at the highest level, and your entire Whippet family could not be more proud. Congratulations on this well deserved accomplishment!
