👣🔎 We definitely have some forensics experts in EPS! To wrap up their forensics unit, 7th grade GATE students at Central are piecing together fictional crime scene projects to present to the class. Then, they'll put their forensic science knowledge to the test by analyzing evidence and circumstances from their peers' projects to determine what crime might have been committed. #ShineYourLight

Russell Dougherty third graders stepped back in time for Statehood Day! Students were divided into 'families' and took on jobs like farmers, blacksmiths and cooks, researching what life looked like during Oklahoma's statehood era. Dressed in costume and hard at work, they showed off their skills and research. Such a fun way to bring history to life! 🌾🔨🍳 #ShineYourLight
