It’s #TakeCareTuesday and May is Mental Health Awareness Month! We recognize that all mental health matters, including our children’s mental health! Resiliency is built when our students can find ways to manage stress in a healthy and positive way, including talking to a trusted adult. If a young person in your life is going through a tough time, remind them that there’s always help and hope. Click the link below for a few more talking tips about this important topic. For free, confidential support 24/7, you can text or call 9-8-8 or chat 988lifeline.org. https://mhanational.org/time-talk-tips-talking-about-your-mental-health

On this #takecaretuesday we want to highlight our Spartan Therapy Dogs who frequently visit our 9th-12th grade students. Studies show that dogs improve overall health and well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Our students sure think so, too. They often say “dog days are the best days!” A huge thanks to Comfort Canines of Tulsa, and our volunteer handlers for their support of Bixby students! Be well, Spartans! #nationaldogday
It's #ThankYouThursday, Spartans, and "thank you" just is not sufficient in this scenario.
At tonight's Board of Education Meeting, Bridge the Gap presented the district with a check for TWO. HUNDRED. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.
What a testament to the incredible community we have here in Bixby! A team of 29 volunteers and a room full of 500+ Spartan supporters raised these funds which will go directly back to classrooms!
We cannot wait to share with you the difference this will make in our schools!

It's #ThankYouThursday, Spartans and this one goes out to our BPS Transportation Department! They have recently started a new program to recognize students for being kind, following directions, and being a safe and responsible bus rider! We love seeing the impact this has on our students and one more reason to celebrate them is always a great idea!

On this #TakeCareTuesday we acknowledge the tragedy in Nashville and want to share some important talking tips with children related to violence. To subside fears, adults can provide a sense of felt safety by listening and being present, providing reassurance, security, routine and sharing developmentally appropriate details. These key points from NASP can help parents and all adults navigate this difficult topic.
Summer school registration is now open for current 8th thru 12th graders. Click the link for more information:
