It’s the second Thursday of the month and time for another Bixby Board of Education Meeting! We had much to recognize this month! Our Community Partner Award went to the Tristesse Grief Center for their incredible support during this difficult time for our Spartan family. Penny Harvill Rogers was recognized for her dedication throughout the BOC/United Way Drive. And finally, the Spartan Coin of Excellence honor was presented to our record six National Merit Semifinalists as well as Ms. Tiffany McGrew for being a awarded at the state level for her excellence as a MS Choir Director. We’d also like to thank Henley and Landry for leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
