Bulldog families, Skiatook Public Schools wishes everyone a wonderful and relaxing Fall Break! 🐾

Last week, our students had the opportunity to explore what life after high school could look like at our Career Fair! Students connected with representatives from a variety of careers, technical schools, colleges, and military branches to learn about the many paths available to them after graduation. With over 60 participants, our students had an incredible opportunity to ask questions, explore their interests, and begin thinking about their futures. We are so thankful to all of the participants who took the time to visit with our students and share their knowledge, experiences, and opportunities! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success! We are excited to help our students discover their possibilities and plan for their futures! 🌟

October is National Principal Recognition Month, and we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of our school principals. They dedicate countless hours and immense care to managing their buildings, ensuring a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for both staff and students. We are incredibly grateful for their leadership and dedication!

Last month, we introduced our new Tireless Teacher Award, where our students get the chance to nominate staff members and give them shout-outs for all the amazing things they do! This month's Tireless Teacher Award goes to Mrs. Perdue!! Congratulations, and thank you for going above and beyond for our students and making SHS a great place to be!

On this National Custodian Appreciation Day, we want to take a moment to honor our incredible district custodial staff. Thank you for keeping our buildings clean, safe, and welcoming every single day. Your hard work and unwavering dedication do not go unnoticed—you play a vital role in keeping Skiatook Public Schools running smoothly, and we are deeply grateful for the positive impact!

Congratulations to our Literacy Night winners! Cheyenne Brown is the winner of our door prize! She won a fun striped bag, a USB Rechargeable book light, a cute fleece paw print blanket, and a 24 oz Konokyo Insulated Water Bottle.
Kennidy Randolph won our bookworm guessing challenge with a guess of 155. There were 148 gummy worms in the water bottle. Great guess!

We had a great time at Literacy Night during our Conferences. Students completed a Scavenger Hunt by answering trivia questions, searching books for fun selfies, solving puzzles, and creating bookmarks. They also chose a new book, entered a drawing for a door prize, and guessed how many bookworms were in a bottle. The winning guess got to keep the bottle! Our Pawsitively Cafe served delicious coffee drinks, and all enjoyed some sweet snacks.
