This story is just too sweet not to share... This morning as our district team arrived at Bixby North Intermediate for their Veterans Day Celebration,  we noticed a unique procedure for their parade marshal. It's not everyday you see a parade being led by an iPhone and a poster! Leave it to our kiddos and wonderful school leaders to find an innovative way to honor our nation's heroes! Jon and Ben got creative with the help of Mrs. VanDolah to make sure their dad, Army Sergeant Rodriguez who is stationed in Djibouti, Africa, was able to be an integral part of today's celebration. It was truly a heartwarming moment.

🇺🇸 This #ThankYouThursday, let's take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. To our veterans, your sacrifices and dedication have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for protecting our freedoms and ensuring a brighter future for us all. 🎗️ #VeteransDay #SaluteToService #GratefulNation

Spartans, if this doesn't inspire all the #fridayfeels, we aren't sure what will! Bixby West Elementary launched another year of Best Buddies this week! Best Buddies International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are so grateful to have this partnership here at BPS are thrilled to be bringing it to all school sites this school year! Learn Well. Live with Honor. Go Spartans!

It’s Board of Education Meeting Night, Spartans. As always we start with recognition. From students to teachers, administrators and tonight, parents…there’s so much to celebrate at BPS! Tonight’s Spartan Spirit Award went to Rachel Irwin and Leslie Haughey, two parents at Bixby East Elementary who dedicated many, many hours to their school when an unexpected flood disrupted our kindergarten classrooms during the first week of school. These two wonderful parents are always among the hands on deck at Bixby East Elementary but during difficult times especially, we want to extend our deepest gratitude! Also, thank you to Channing and Reagan, hailing from Bixby West Elementary, for leading tonight's pledge. Learn Well. Live with Honor. Go Spartans!
