It's that time! Our April Core Value Award winners have been announced! Please give a round of applause to:
🌟 Bill Clinton, custodian at EPSAC, was nominated for BELONGING. Mr. Bill makes everyone feel welcome and always takes the time to acknowledge every person he sees. He is always willing to provide a helping hand and goes above and beyond to assist those in need. When it is snowing or icey, Bill has been known to go out in the parking lot and scrape everyone’s windows before they leave for the evening. Bill is always giving.
🌟 Lisa Keck, Resource Teacher at Sunset, was nominated for COLLABORATION. Mrs. Keck coordinates seamlessly with classroom teachers, speech pathologists and parents through her dedication to a collaborative approach, ensuring that each student’s goals and Individualized Education Program (IEP) remain current and effective. Moreover, Mrs. Keck’s advocacy for her students extends beyond the classroom, as she actively cultivates meaningful partnerships and relationships with families, making them feel integral to their children’s educational journey.
These two shine their light each day. We're pretty lucky to have them! 👏

Before reading Romeo and Juliet, our freshmen at Memorial spend a few days exploring Shakespeare the way he intended—on their feet and in action. 🗡️ Activities like (safely!) fencing, performing scenes and even learning period dances help students connect with the story and language in a hands-on, memorable way. #ShineYourLight
🌵 Author Dusti Bowling visited all six of our middle schools! Dusti shared her story, left students with a powerful message and even shared a meal with a few classes! So fun for these students to see the face behind some of their favorite books. 🌟 #ShineYourLight
There's nothing better than a science project you can eat! 🍭🔬 6th graders at Sequoyah have been learning all about cells and of course, they finished the unit by creating an edible plant cell! 👏 #ShineYourLight
⚠️ CAUTION: LEARNING ZONE AHEAD⚠️ Hard hats optional, learning guaranteed.
Frontier Elementary is prepping for testing through hands-on, themed learning days. Each lesson students in Mrs. Kinsaul's class did this day was centered around construction. For example, during the math portion of the day, students mapped out and budgeted how they would build a playground! 🚧 #ShineYourLight
Welcome Dr. Josh Delich!
The Edmond Board of Education is excited to announce Dr. Josh Delich as the 23rd Superintendent of Edmond Public Schools.
Dr. Delich brings 21 years of experience as an educator. He joins EPS from Minnesota where he has held leadership roles with that state’s two largest public school districts for the past six years. He has also been a high school and middle school principal, classroom teacher, lead content teacher and coach.
If you know our Superintendent Dr. Angela Grunewald, you know she hates surprises. However, at this year's Celebration of Excellence, we pulled one off with a special video message from all of our principals. They thanked her for her countless contributions to EPS and wished her well in her upcoming retirement. She also had no idea her husband would be in the audience for the celebration.
And of course, it wouldn’t have been an honorary Core Value Award without a Sonic gift card! 😆🌟#ShineYourLight
