To celebrate World Kindness Day, Catalayah students brightened our halls with a special Kindness Tree! Each student decorated a colorful leaf and wrote down a kind act they’ve shared with someone else. With every thoughtful leaf added, our Kindness Tree continues to bloom beautifully—one small act at a time.

⚙️🧠 STEM creativity in action!
In Ms. Henry’s STEM class, students let their imagination and problem-solving skills take over! Using a brand-new kit called Engino, students had the choice to explore structures or mechanics — and they did an amazing job!
👷♀️ The girls focused on structures and engineered an impressive bridge, while 👷♂️ the boys explored mechanics and built a working hand drill.
With the help of Engino KidCad software, they followed 3D digital guides to bring their creations to life. What an incredible way to blend creativity, technology, and teamwork!

Viet Nam veteran Don McGuire spoke to 3rd-5th GT Monday. He explained a bit about his service in the Army military police and Air Force service police in the early 1970’s. Mr. McGuire focused on choosing the military as a means of attending and graduating university after his duty tours. He also encouraged students to think wisely when choosing friend groups and look for ways to give back to their community. Eight of Mr. McGuire’s classmates from McLain High, Tulsa including two close friends, perished in Viet Nam.

🎨✏️ Creative minds at work in Mrs. Ratcliff’s art class!
Our 3rd grade WIN students designed their own self-driven lesson by choosing an illustration they wanted to create. After completing their artwork, they wrote and presented their original stories and information to their classmates — showing off both their artistic and author skills!
We even had a special guest join the fun — Mrs. Shuck stopped by to enjoy the presentations and cheer on our talented students.
👏 Fantastic job, 3rd grade authors and illustrators! Your creativity and confidence truly shined!

Kindergarten Field Trip Success!
Our kindergarten students had a rockin’ good time at the Stephen Fite concert! The interactive, high-energy show had students singing, moving, and learning through music. After the concert, we headed to the park for some fresh air, laughter, and lunch together—what a perfect outing!
Did you know? Stephen Fite has recorded 17 albums and entertained over 850,000 children with his interactive shows. His motto: kids learn best when they’re moving and having fun!

During our PE class, students played “Steal the Candy,” a fast-paced game that combined movement, strategy, and math skills! Players raced to grab candy pieces from the center, but if they got tagged, they had to return the candy and try again. Successful steals were placed in their team’s hula hoop, with each candy piece worth a different point value. Students practiced teamwork, quick thinking, and counting skills—all while having tons of fun and staying active!
