Our 7th grade science students had an amazing hands-on learning experience today at Rogers County Conservation District at RSU! 🌿🦆 Students stepped into the role of “birds” using different beaks to understand how adaptations help animals survive in the wild. They also explored real-life adaptations in nature and enjoyed a visit to the wetlands—bringing science to life in the best way! A big thank you to the Rogers County Conservation District, and a special shoutout to Mr. Robert Gibbs for making this experience so engaging and memorable for our students! 👏 #HandsOnLearning #ScienceInAction #StudentExperiences #RogersCounty

It's that time of year again! Running Club starts back up on March 25th @ 7:10 AM at the SOUTH campus. We are excited to see all of our little runners out and moving again! The Zoo Run is quickly approaching. Running Club receives a small portion of every participant's entry fee, and the school with the most participants earns some prize money! This all goes towards our Running Club funds, which provide the cute toe tokens, end-of-the-year awards, party, and the software we use to track laps/mileage. The Zoo Run is super fun, and admission to the zoo after the run is a perk of signing up. A flyer was sent home with our school's QR code. If you need a new one, please reach out to me. Thank you all, and I look forward to seeing everyone bright and early on March 25th.

Track and field had a great first meet! Girls won the meet as a team and medaled in all events except for two. Boys team came away with several medals. There were lots of personal bests out of both groups today as well! Go Wildcats 🖤💛🐾

There will be No After-School Tutoring for the South Campus this week. Sorry for any inconvenience. We will reconvene after Spring Break.

From fall sweaters to spring smiles! It’s amazing to see how much they’ve grown since September! 🌸 Spring Pictures March 11. Avoid wearing green.
