What a fun Friday we had at Nowata Elementary! Students were greeted by our local firefighters who helped keep kids safe by unloading cars and doing crosswalk duty. Next, our fabulous first responders from Nowata Fire, EMS, Sheriff, and Police visited with each grade level. They shared tips about staying safe during the holiday season and read the kids a Christmas story. The firefighters are holding a coloring contest for the students, and the winning students will get to have lunch with the firefighters!!! THANK YOU FIRST RESPONDERS!! Your friends at Nowata Elementary love you!

Our gentlemen; Kyle Hanigan, Adam Oxford, Adan Mimbs, Rhett Buesser, Aiden Wallace, Soren Tidewell and Gabriel Drake represented Nowata with great pride as they did an amazing job. These young men worked all day on music in a clinic situation and then performed an evening concert. Way to represent Nowata boys!!!!

A huge thank you goes to Mrs. Victoria Freeman for all her help especially when I was gone due to medical reasons and the passing of my grandmother. Because of her our band was able to continue to perform and thrive. A huge thank you to our band aides Wisdom Vincent, Karma Malone, Taylor Cordova and Nemiah Gibbs for all their hard work behind the scenes. I could not have done this without them. The band put in many long hours and worked hard to represent Nowata with pride. Please help me congratulating everyone on a job well done.
