Help us celebrate Read Across America next week! Mark your calendars!
Spartans,
Do you have questions or wish to have a better understanding of school funding and finance? Have you ever wondered…how does the purchase of that new scoreboard or other athletic upgrade affect teacher pay? Why do we need another bond issue and will it impact my property taxes? How is our state aid determined? How can I help advocate for smaller class sizes? How would vouchers impact our school district's financial status?
Join us for a series of panel sessions, open to our entire community, to learn the basics of Oklahoma school finance and understand how decisions at the Capitol impact our classrooms in BPS. This is also an opportunity to engage with local legislators on these important topics.
Dates:
2/24: Implications of Vouchers
3/10: School Finance 101
3/24: Teacher Pay & Class Sizes
Time: 9:45-10:45 AM
Location: The HUB @ Bixby Metro Chamber of Commerce; 12 W Dawes, Bixby OK
Space is limited so don’t wait to register: bixbyps.info/panelseries

On Monday, West Elementary students were treated to Lyric Theatre's Oklahoma! Interactive performance. It was educational, engaging, and so much fun!
A traveling troupe of actors entertained students as they also educated them by intertwining Oklahoma history throughout the performance. 🤠
Thanks to actors Curly, Lauren, Ado Annie, Will Parker, and Aunt Eller our hallways were buzzing with Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' and Oklahoma! throughout the day. 💙♥️

3rd graders have been experiencing a fabulous field trip back in time to Rose Hill School! The weather has delayed Mrs. Hays and Ms. Robinson’s classes but they’re hoping to go next week. 🍎 🍏
What a fantastic learning opportunity for our students!
Dressed in period clothing and carrying makeshift syrup buckets containing their lunch, students participate in the living history program, "A Day at Rose Hill School." They pretend to travel back in time to become scholars attending one of Oklahoma's early one-room schools.
Greeted at the door by a stern-looking school marm, the students file into the classroom and take their seats. During the day, the scholars have exercises in cursive writing, cyphering (arithmetic) with slateboards and chalk, and reading from McGuffey's readers. Scholars also study history, geography, do chores, and play games.
Hello West,
My classroom will be starting a fundraiser this Thursday! We will be selling lip lollipops for $2 each. Money raised will help us to purchase more motor lab equipment. We have a link on my school bucks for parents to purchase but will also be taking cash. Lollipops will be sold from Jan.26th- Fab. 1st and then again from Feb. 11th- until they are gone.

Elementary students will be able to purchase them by bringing money to class. We will collect the money in the morning and deliver it at the end of the day.
The student will have the choice between sour and non-sour but not the flavor.
Thank you for your support,
Ms. Robinson
