SENIOR PARENTS ‼️Completing the FAFSA is an important step toward accessing grants, scholarships, and other financial aid for college, trade school, or career training. Completing the FAFSA is also a graduation requirement per state law of the 24-25 school year.

📅 Thursday, October 22nd
⏰ 6:30 PM
📍 Okeene High School Library

We strongly encourage both seniors AND a parent/guardian attend! Having everyone there (and bringing the information listed on the graphic) will allow us to work through the application together with the goal of getting your FAFSA completed that night. We want to help our seniors take advantage of every dollar of financial aid they may qualify for and check one more important senior year task off the list!

👉 Please review the graphic before attending so you know what information and documents to bring.

FAFSA NIGHT
Lonnie Boeckman (1955–2013) was last week's featured alumni for "Legacy Lives Here" theme.

A proud Okeene High School graduate of 1973, Lonnie Boeckman excelled both academically and athletically. Standing 7 feet, 4 inches tall, he played center for Oklahoma State University basketball and earned All-State and All-American Honorable Mention honors in 1973. While balancing the demands of being a student-athlete, Lonnie maintained a 4.0 GPA and earned his degree in Mechanical Power Technology in 1982.

Lonnie dedicated himself to serving his hometown of Okeene as the manager and owner of Farm Service Station, a teacher in the Catholic Church, and a supporter of numerous community fundraisers. Remembered as a reliable and loyal friend, Lonnie left a lasting legacy through his accomplishments, generosity, and commitment to the Okeene community.

Mrs. Unruh's first graders recently read Maybe Something Beautiful and learned how art can bring a community together and make a place feel even more special. The class talked about how their own community of Okeene is filled with beautiful murals and artwork that add color, creativity, and a little something beautiful to our town! 🏘️🎨

After discussing the murals around Okeene, our students got to become artists themselves! They painted their own pictures inspired by the beauty they saw around our community. 🖌️🌈 We love helping our students notice the beauty in the world around them and reminding them that they can help make their community something beautiful, too!
