When the state fair is in town, it is officially Fall in Oklahoma!🎢🎟️🎡 Mrs. Moseley wanted to bring a little bit of the fair to her classroom. These fourth graders had a blast making sand art and creating new memories with their classmates. It’s a great day to be a Wildcat!

This week, first-grade students were learning about community and the various types of communities, as well as their helpers. We had three different community helpers come out and tell us how they serve Oklahoma, Rogers County, and our school. Officer Brandt from the Rogers County Sheriff's Office, Chief Golbek, Co-Chief Teel, Fireman Teel from the Tiawah Fire Department, and Lt. Carrington from the Oklahoma National Guard all came out to speak to the first-grade class and explain their jobs, as well as how they help the surrounding communities. The firefighters demonstrated how quickly they can get into their gear, and we got to see Officer Brandt and 2LT Carrington’s gear as well.

The 2025-2026 Justus-Tiawah Cheerleaders held a cheer clinic from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. today. They participated in team-building activities, were instructed on proper cheer moves, learned three new cheers, and taught their choreographed dance moves to the team.

A Word from Coach Casey: State didn't end how we had hoped, but we're holding our heads high after the fantastic season we had. Softball season is fast and furious, but the amount of time leading up to it is lengthy. These ladies started practicing mid-July. They showed up in the heat and worked their tails off four days a week, every week, up until school started. They adjusted to school, practice, and games seamlessly once we began our school routine. This has been a fantastic adventure watching these ladies play. The camaraderie, love, and enthusiasm for one another and the game were unbelievable and something we haven't experienced in our program since I started coaching. I keep saying there is something special about these ladies, and there truly is. I am sad to see this season come to an end, but I am excited for our future. JT Softball is growing and doing amazing things. I look forward to next year. GO WILDCATS!

Just a friendly reminder that we are out of school tomorrow, Friday, September 19. We will see everyone on Monday!

Last night was our last home game and regular game of the season. We celebrated our only 8th grader, Ellie Howard. She has been a great asset to our JT softball program and will be missed. We finished the evening winning both A and B games, ending the season with a 7-0 record. Saturday, we travel to the state tournament in Shawnee. This will be the first time in several years that JT has been represented. We are excited to show up and show out. JT will be well represented, and we hope to do well. Wish these girls good luck if you see them out and about. 💛🖤G O W I L D C A T S🖤💛

The junior high students went to the Rogers County Fair on Thursday to celebrate the successes of their classmates. We are so proud of our Junior High Art Students for their courage to compete and place entries in the Rogers County Fair Fine Arts Division, as there were some incredibly competitive categories. While at the fair, the students also had an opportunity to watch a few sheep shows and gained a new appreciation for the work of an FFA student. We hope it has inspired some of them to pursue that avenue in high school. McKynzie Hughes's floral design placed fourth in the Junior High Mixed Media Division. Lilianna placed 5th in the Junior High Sculpture Division with her swan sculpture. Aubrey Self entered her floral sculpture in the Junior High Sculpture Division. Daniel Johnson entered his painting in the Junior High Division Watercolor/Pastel Division. Jessica Lor, Traijan Smoke, Jaxon Beasley, Mason Ragsdale, and Ryder Beard entered their drawings into the Junior High Charcoal/Pencil Division.

Another great week on the diamond for J-T Softball! We finished the week with two wins against two good teams. Their record is now 6-0. They have one more home game Monday, September 15th, at Pecan Park at 4:30 before heading to State on September 20th. I have said it before, and I'll repeat it. These girls are special to watch, so pack the stand or bring a lawn chair Monday night and cheer this group of ladies on! 🖤💛🥎
