Congratulations to Caden Reames. He accomplished a statistically impossible feat. He (from a class B school) is now the 4th-ranked high school clarinet player in the ENTIRE state of Oklahoma.

At Oklahoma Music Educator Association (OKMEA) All-State, every high school in this state is represented, regardless of school size and classification. Students from big schools have the advantage of multiple band staff members, clinics, workshops, and almost all of these students take lessons from a college professor to prepare for this event.

Caden did not attend any workshops, he did not have a masterclass session with a clarinet expert, and he did not work with a college professor. He worked tirelessly, primarily on his own, in 3 weeks to prepare for this competition.

It is so difficult to make OKMEA All-State from small schools, that directors from small schools formed their own All-State Honor Band. The Oklahoma Small Schools Band Director Association (OSSBDA) All-State, which is open to schools up to class 4A. If you recall, Caden placed 2nd in THAT honor band last month.

Caden also made All-State in the amazing One Act, and displays the same phenomenal drive to excellence in the classroom as well. Placing him at FIVE All-State qualifications in his career

It's fair to say that Caden Reames does whatever it takes to be the best at everything he chooses to do!

Coach Heckart's 7th grade Tech-Ed class wants to share what they've been up to so far this semester:
🚀Built rockets and did the Wright Brothers airplane challenge. For this, they launched the rockets at the Sports Complex and they reached the height of 300 feet.
🛩️An Airplane challenge, which took place in the Elementary gym. The planes flew in a circle at about waist high.
🏎️Built Co2 Cars out of balsa wood. They learned how to use woodworking tools to cut and sand the cars.

🦃 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! 🍂🧡
