It’s #WhatsUpWednesday, Spartans and our cookie breaking is what’s up!
cookie breaking: n. The event you host when it’s too muddy for a ground breaking and there’s no walls to demo for a wall breaking.
Congratulations to our EI family on the official “cookie breaking” of the Bixby East Intermediate gym!
We are thrilled for our East Campus to be equipped with this much needed space. Thank you again to our entire community for investing in this extraordinary future we are building together at Bixby Public Schools!
Huge shout outs to Lyle Building Group and Dewberry Architects for their outstanding partnership!
