🦃 Thanksgiving Feast in First Grade! 🥧
For the past few weeks, our first graders have been learning all about the First Thanksgiving—how the Pilgrims and Native Americans came together, shared a meal, and helped one another through that first year. Today, they brought that spirit of community into the classroom. The feast was filled with delicious food, big smiles, and lots of excitement. Okeene is so thankful for our amazing students, supportive families, and the memories we get to make together. 💛
Happy Thanksgiving from our First Grade family to yours! 🍂🧡

Our Jr/Sr High students had a fantastic evening in OKC last night! They kicked things off with a delicious meal at Hideaway Pizza and Panda Express before heading to the Civic Center to watch Elf the Musical. The show was funny, lighthearted, and filled with great music—the flying sleigh was truly amazing!
“Dinner and a show” was definitely a hit! Thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible and such a memorable success for our students.

Science in Action!🔬
Our students explored how mass and height affect potential and kinetic energy in Coach Brickman's class! Using stacked textbooks and a Hot Wheels track, they put their learning to the test with hands on experimentation and problem solving. Nothing beats watching concepts come to life through real world activities! 🚗💨
