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.

Good evening parents!
It was a chilly morning and there were lots of cold kiddos out at morning recess. Just a friendly reminder to send a jacket or hoodie to school for these cold mornings. It might be time to break out the fall weather clothing! We want them dressed appropriately for recess and other outside activities. Thank you!
