Win-Win shirt orders due by August 18th! 🩷🏈🐾
A great day of Professional Development for our faculty and staff today. First, we heard from former Okeene students about the impact Okeene Public School teachers have had on them. Next, Jon Hazell led different team building activities and provided valuable insight for the school year. Lastly, we'd like to give a big thank you to the Okeene Baptist church for providing lunch for everyone! We're ready for an exciting 2023-2024 school year with our students! 🐾
Don't forget about Open House tomorrow, August 9th from 4-6pm!
Yesterday was a special day as we had the National Teacher of the Year, Rebecka Kermanshahi Peterson, present the power of ONE. Rebecka reminded us that teachers create an exponential impact by doing the little things daily. She challenged us to continue to look for and find the good things in every day. #NNSTOY #CCSSO #OKTOY
