HAPPY ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONAL’S DAY!!! 🔴⚪️🔵🔴⚪️🔵🔴⚪️🔵 Some people help a school run… and some people are a big part of why it runs so well. At Bixby North Intermediate, that’s Nicole Williams, LeaAnn Smith, and Terri Havens. ❤️🤍💙 They’re the steady in the busy, the calm when things get a little chaotic, and the friendly faces everyone counts on every single day. They catch the little things, remember the important things, and somehow always seem to know exactly what’s needed—sometimes before anyone even asks. If you’ve ever walked into our front office, you know the feeling—welcoming, calm, and taken care of. That doesn’t just happen. That’s them! Nicole, LeaAnn, and Terri do so much more than keep things running—they help make BNI what it is. We’re really lucky they’re ours. ❤️🤍💙 #AdministrativeProfessionalsDay #BNI

As this is your final year at BNI, it’s impossible not to feel both grateful and a little bittersweet. While we’re so excited for what’s ahead for you, your presence here will truly be missed. You’ve left a mark on this school that will not fade. Thank you for your leadership, your kindness, and the countless ways you’ve poured into our students and staff. BNI is better because of you.

Whether she’s recommending the perfect story, helping with research, hosting Maker Space, or simply offering a kind smile, Mrs. Zilmer makes our school a better place every single day. We are so grateful for the passion, care, and dedication she pours into our students and staff. BNI is lucky to have you, Mrs. Zilmer!!!
