📚🌾 Read an Accurate Ag Book Week! 🚜🐄 Last week, our Wildcats celebrated Read an Accurate Ag Book Week, a special opportunity to connect literacy and agriculture! Read an Accurate Ag Book Week helps students learn where their food, fiber, and other everyday products come from through books that accurately represent agriculture. Participating helps our students better understand the important role farmers, ranchers, and agriculture play in Oklahoma and in our daily lives—all while encouraging a love of reading! 📖🌱 Throughout the week, Mrs. Matheson shared agriculture-themed books with classes in the library, while Mrs. Lane incorporated agricultural literacy into her Wonder Workshop. And we didn’t just read about agriculture—we experienced it! 🧈 At the end of the week, Mrs. Lane and her classes made their own butter and enjoyed tasting it on sourdough bread. What a fun way to see firsthand how something we eat is made! We even carried the learning into our morning announcements, sharing a different Oklahoma agriculture fact each day. 🌾🐂 By participating in Read an Accurate Ag Book Week, we’re helping our students understand that agriculture is all around us—from the food on our tables to many of the things we use every day. We’re proud to give our Wildcats opportunities to read, learn, explore, and make real-world connections. #AgriculturalLiteracy #okagclass #readagbooks2026

📚🐾 BOOK FAIR WEEK IS HERE! 🐾📚 The Book Fair is coming to both our North and South Campuses September 14–18! We’re excited to give our Wildcats the opportunity to discover new books and build their love of reading! Why do we have a Book Fair? Book fairs put books directly into students’ hands and give them the chance to choose books that interest them. That excitement and ownership can help encourage reading at home and build lifelong readers. Plus, purchases help support our school libraries! Don’t forget about eWallet! Parents can set up a Book Fair eWallet through their campus Book Fair homepage. It’s a safe, convenient way for students to shop without bringing cash to school. Family and friends can even contribute funds to a student’s eWallet! 🏫 Book Fair Dates: September 14–18 📍 North & South Campuses 🌟 Family Night: 📅 Thursday, September 17 ⏰ 4:00–7:00 PM Bring the family and shop the Book Fair together! 🔗 North Campus Book Fair & eWallet: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/justustiawahschoolnorth 🔗 South Campus Book Fair & eWallet: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/justustiawahschoolsouth Thank you for supporting our students, our libraries, and a love of reading! 📚❤️ Happy Book Fair Week, Wildcats! 🐾💛🖤

🐾 Parent Reminders South Campus We have a couple of important reminders to help keep our school day safe and running smoothly: 🍎 Student Lunches: For the safety of our students, staff members are not able to heat or warm up student lunches. Please plan accordingly when packing your child’s lunch and send foods that are ready to eat or can be kept warm in an insulated container. 🚗 Car Line: Please remember to pull forward and close any gaps in the car line. Keeping the line moving and cars close together helps us safely and efficiently get students where they need to go. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our Wildcats safe! 🐾💛

Good morning, South families! 🐾 We have a couple of important dismissal reminders to help keep our students and staff safe and dismissal running smoothly: Older Shuttle Students: Parents/guardians waiting for older students arriving on the shuttle should remain in their vehicles. Shuttle students will exit through the back of the building and walk to their waiting vehicle. For safety purposes, students will not be permitted to enter vehicles in the front of the building. Younger Siblings: If you have arrived and are waiting for an older child on the shuttle, please go ahead and pick up your younger child at their regular dismissal time and have them wait with you. This helps our teachers focus on safely completing dismissal and supervising students who are still awaiting pickup. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep dismissal safe and organized for everyone! 🖤💛
