Thank you to the 4-H, FFA, and NHS students who helped at the Chamber's North Pole Store this morning! 🎁
Our STEM and FFA students worked hard this week to create several items for the North Pole Store. Kids can go up to the Corner tomorrow, December 7th, from 9-11am for donuts, crafts, pictures with Santa and to purchase Christmas gifts for family/friends. Don't miss it! 🎁🎄
A new federal law requires all senior students to have filled out the FAFSA to graduate. The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. All college scholarships and career techs require a student to have filled this out before being awarded any financial aid or scholarships. There is an opt out form that parents can fill out if they so choose. Okeene High School will assist senior parents in filling this out on December 16th at 6pm in the High School Library. Leetha Huddleston from the State Regents Office will be on site to assist parents as well. To fill this out, parents will need to have their student's social security number and their 2023 tax return.
Due to limited interest of 7-8th graders on Wednesday mornings, Gym Rats will go back to Tuesdays and Thursdays for the rest of the basketball season. Reminder-- Gym Rats is for any 3rd-8th graders and is located in the old gymnasium from 6:30-7:40am on Tuesdays/Thursdays.

After the unit, each student was able to make their favorite American landmark on a 3-D printer inside their classrooms. Students learned how to load and unload the machine, replace filament, and troubleshoot when the prints didn't go according to plan.🗽

🎄✨ 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. ❤️
