🎄✨ A Magical Night in OKC! ✨🎄
Many of our Gifted and Talented students, top readers, and a select few had the incredible opportunity to travel to Oklahoma City for an unforgettable evening. The night began with a delicious dinner at Hideaway Pizza, followed by a breathtaking performance of A Cirque Christmas at the OKC Civic Center Music Hall. The show, featuring dazzling acrobatics and captivating magic, truly brought the holiday spirit to life.
A very special thank you goes out to Mr. Feely, Mrs. Feely and Mr. Hursh for their invaluable help, as well as Mountain Country Foods for their generous support. Their contributions make trips like this possible, creating lifelong memories for our students that they will cherish forever. ❤️

Secret Angels are now ready for adoption! 😇
Our 7th-9th grade ELA students just completed their interdisciplinary unit, The Great Expedition: Charting New Frontiers, which explored the legacy of Lewis and Clark and the impact of exploration on America's history.
The essential question guiding their journey was: How has exploration shaped America’s past, and how do we commemorate it today?
Throughout the unit, students:
1️⃣Read a variety of nonfiction books and watched educational videos.
2️⃣Took detailed notes and wrote a five-paragraph essay to synthesize their understanding.
3️⃣Mapped Lewis and Clark's journey and studied the four main rivers they navigated. 4️⃣Took a virtual tour of the Gateway Arch, immersing themselves in its history.
5️⃣Used VR headsets, guided by Mrs. Feely, to enhance their exploration experience. 6️⃣Learned how to use the Glowforge, with Mrs. Hutchison's guidance, to cut a wooden U.S. map of the Louisiana Purchase and create acrylic silhouettes of Lewis and Clark to accompany their presentations.
These projects helped students combine technology, creativity, and historical knowledge to bring the story of exploration to life. A huge thank you to Mrs. Feely and Mrs. Hutchison for their incredible support, and congratulations to all of our students for their hard work and dedication! Great job, Whippets! 🐾

✨Gifted and Talented Girls Shine at OU High School Girls Day 2024 ✨
Our Gifted and Talented high school girls had an incredible opportunity to attend High School Girls Day 2024 at the University of Oklahoma along with 93 other girls from around the state. They explored OU's wide variety of majors, minors, and certificates, met inspirational women leaders in diverse fields, and learned about OU alumnae who have achieved great success in their careers. The day was filled with team-building exercises, logic challenges, and teamwork activities that showcased the girls’ talents and determination. Here are some of their highlights: They were the first group to successfully complete Challenge 1! Three of our girls were the first to correctly solve the math challenge. Our girls scored the highest on Challenge 2, showing off our teamwork and problem-solving skills. Although they left early to make it to the pep rally, the girls made the most of every moment. It was a truly amazing and successful day full of learning, growth, and fun. It’s a great day to be a Whippet! 🐾
