Our Indian Education Department visited students (3rd grade pictured) in Frontier’s GATE class to teach them the art of basket weaving. Students learned about the history and cultural significance of basket weaving in Cherokee traditions and even had the chance to weave their own baskets! 🧺 #ShineYourLight

Orvis Risner’s Chess Club, led by Mrs. Wolf, has been a huge success this year! Dozens of students meet once a week before school to learn and practice the game, and it’s been impressive to see how much they’ve learned and how much they remember from week to week.

Even more special, this club is made possible through the generosity of donors who gave through DonorsChoose, supported by the Edmond Public Schools Foundation. All of the supplies and chess boards were purchased through a DonorsChoose project!

To those who give: this is the impact of your dollars in action.

This club wouldn’t be possible without Mrs. Wolf’s dedication, along with the support of administrators, the community and staff! ♞✨ #ShineYourLight

Scissortail Pre-K had a special visitor! A construction worker from We Build Oklahoma stopped by to talk with students about what he does each day and why safety is such an important part of the job. 🚧

After learning about real equipment and how construction crews stay safe, students got a hands-on (and sweet!) experience of their own… using a toy excavator to scoop up candy. 😋🍭 #ShineYourLight

🎉🧁 Happy Birthday to Angie Debo's namesake... Dr. Angie Debo! The dolphins celebrated by having a birthday-themed assembly, complete with homemade hats and confetti!

👏 Dr. Angie Debo was a pioneering historian and activist, who impacted Oklahoma in the late 1890s into the early 1900s. Dr. Debo wrote 13 books and was the first woman to receive a doctorate from the University of Oklahoma, earning her Ph.D. in History in 1933. EPS is proud to honor her legacy through Angie Debo Elementary. #ShineYourLight
