The 9GC would love to thank Bixby Education Endowment Fund for granting 3 of our BEEF Grants!
The Library will be receiving funds for enrichment maker’s spaces, the Math Department for extra Logitech crayons for kids who can’t ’afford them to use in class, and the Spanish department will be purchasing class sets of headphones!
This past Wednesday the 9GC had a special guest, Governor Stitt.
He, and his team sat down with students, teachers, and parents to discuss Bixby's newly implemented cellphone policy!
The Governor wanted to see how the new policy has been beneficial, and also to see where others could improve upon it!
Thank you, Governor Stitt for making time to visit BPS!

Señora Nevills, Señor Cox, and Señora Rangel's classes all recently got to participate in an amazing tortilla workshop that Señora Nevills created. Students measured, mixed, and pressed their own corn tortillas, then cooked them on the griddles. The students did a wonderful job and learned a lot about the major role tortillas play in mealtimes throughout Mexico and Central America.

Mrs. Manlun's classes recently had the privilege of hosting guest speaker Kay Vernier, LCSW from Youth Services of Creek County, in their English classes.
Mrs. Vernier used art to connect the short story "Most Dangerous Game," which students have read in class. She spoke to students about coping skills during a crisis, using art as an example of a healthy coping skill. Then, she had the students create their own version of Ship-Trap Island from the story.
A big thank you to Mrs. Vernier and Youth Services of Creek County for her time and energy! We appreciate it!
