We know that our little school community shows love in an unparalleled way, so we couldn't celebrate this month's ✨Respect Awards✨ without acknowledging the critical intersection between love and respect - they are inextricable! These 🐬dolphins🐬 are viscerally aware that respect isn't just an internal journey to value yourself, but it's an external action that acknowledges, appreciates, and lauds the individual contributions of others! ❤️At its core, respect is just a practical extension of kindness, belonging, and ultimately, love!❤️ So to our ✨Respect Award✨ winners, you're doing great things! Keep doing the hard work, the good work, and the respectful work! We're so glad to call you ours! Show our respectful Dolphins some love in the 👇comments below👇, and check out some of the kind words their teachers had to say about them!

We love and appreciate you!💙🤍❤️ Show our servicemen and women some love in the 👇comments below👇!

We love our✨ Word of the Month Awards✨ so much that we just had to add some more! This year we have added to ourcelebrations by incorporating the four Core Value of Edmond Public Schools - 🧡belonging, collaboration, integrity, and hope💜. Coming off of an incredible Belonging Week, we saw students all over the 🏫school🏫 re-commit to and re-focus their efforts on belonging not just as a noun but as a verb with actionable follow-through. We know that the foundation of any successful community is built on the idea that everyone is loved and valued for the contributions and potential that they bring to the table, on the idea that everyone belongs to and is part of something larger than their individual selves and identities, and these 🐬Dolphins🐬 are paving the way toward that reality each and every day! To our ✨Belonging Award✨winners, you're doing great things! Keep doing the hard work, the good work, and the inclusive work! We're so proud to call you ours! Give our inclusive Dolphins some love in the 👇comments below👇, and check out some of the sweet words their teachers wrote about them!

🍬Inclusion sure is sweet!🍬 This month, Special Olympics Oklahoma and Unified Sports challenged Oklahoma schools to participate in a 🧦silly sock 🧦 day to promote awareness, acceptance, inclusion, and love of our friends with Down Syndrome! Today kids and adults across the building showed off their silliest sock combos, and our sweet fifth graders and A.D. Sparkle Cheerleaders,✨Alissa and Cate✨ran around the building making friends, sharing laughs, and taking pictures with as many Dolphins as they could! We love what 🐬Alissa and Cate🐬 add to our building, and we’re so glad to call them ours! Show them some love in the 👇comments below👇!

❓Did you know that October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month?❓ Our ✨A.D. Sparkle✨ did, and they even kicked off the month with a performance at the Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma’s Festival and 5K! Like we learned during Belonging Week, Down Syndrome isn’t scary, and it isn’t a topic of conversation to avoid. While each Down Syndrome diagnosis may manifest differently, we’ve learned that through ✔️awareness, ✔️education, and ✔️intentional effort, we can reframe the way we interact with everyone around us by focusing on capabilities rather than disabilities! During Belonging Week we met students and guest speakers with Down Syndrome, and we learned they aren’t any different than us - they just have an extra chromosome! We also got to see ways in which school leaders and community leaders have embraced individual capabilities to foster inclusion and provide safe places for everyone to 💗contribute and flourish💗. ⁉️So our action item this week?⁉️ If we were to look at a karyotypic representation of chromosomes, we might observe that the 🧬pairs of chromosomes look like socks🧬, which is why silly sock days have become a staple dress-up day to bring awareness, attentio, and love to our friends that have Down Syndrome! So this Wednesday wear: 🧦a silly pair of socks to acknowledge, accept, and appreciate our friends with Down Syndrome and how they make our lives more whole! 🧦OR a mismatched pair of socks to show that you know every individual person is different and you’re committed to fostering inclusion and belonging! 🧦OR EVEN an extra sock because our friends with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome! And take some time to commit to the cause in an intentional way because at Angie Debo there is 🌌SPACE for everyone to BELONG🌌!

Last week was a huge week for belonging and inclusion, but it also seemed like an appropriate time to start the celebrations for our 💜Word of the Month Awards💜 ! For those of you who don't know, each month we focus on a different word that is a character attribute we value within our school family. This past month, students have been learning about ✨kindness✨ and memorizing its condensed definition - "the quality of being friendly, considerate, and generous". As we spend the month deconstructing each word, our faculty and staff look for students who can take their abstract denotations and use them to inspire conscientious actions around the building. At the end of the month, individual 👧students👦 are recognized by their teachers for living out each attribute. With kindness being at the root of all belonging and inclusion initiatives, what better time to 🔦shine a light 🔦 on our kind kiddos than at the end of a Belonging Week! So to our ✨Kindness Award✨ winners, you're doing great things! Keep doing the hard work, the good work, and the kind work! We're so proud to call you ours! (👀Peep those new Dynamic Dolphin t-shirts - we're looking sharp📌!)

Day🖐️ - the final day of Belonging Week, and what a unifying week it has been! Our belonging celebrations culminated with a visit from our vertical leaders! Athletes from 🐺Edmond Santa Fe's Unified Partners Club🐺 came back to visit for the second year in a row to share with us a little bit about what belonging looks like to them (PSSTTT: We spy some former Dolphins and Dolphin siblings!)! With activities that include basketball🏀, softball🥎, and volleyball🏐 there is something for everyone to try out and enjoy. But more than that, we love to see the cross-discursive lessons of athletics applied to inclusion initiatives. Sports are such a great way to marry conceptions of competition and collaboration in a way that benefits athletes in their day-to-day lives and prepares them for their immediate futures and beyond! It's all about using 💪individual strengths💪 to work toward a common goal - and that's exactly what our Belonging Week has been all about! Speaking of Unified Sports, Oklahoma Special Olympics and Unified Sports challenged 🏆Unified Schools🏆 to use students to spell out the word UNIFIED - check out our pictures below (Peep the full school pic - how cool is that?!)! This is where belonging starts! Another huge thank you to our Angie Debo PTO, Blue7, Not Your Average Joe, Torchy's Tacos, and the I-35 Crumbl Cookies location - your donations this week made for the perfect guest-speaker gifts🛍️! If you and your family are looking to create a belonging plan, we'd love for you to join our committee! We want to keep taking 👣steps forward👣, so go ahead and use the Google Form below to sign up! Our first meeting will be on October 7th; more details will be sent via email. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnBDxxuVZav7bVFkrCDR2xYObHbXJIwir-bVWqweU-AEGjTQ/viewform?usp=sf_link Thank you for a great week, Dolphin family. Share your highlights in the 👇comments below👇. Now go out and make "belonging" a verb!

Day four of Belonging Week and our Dolphins came creative as could be from their heads to their toes, which was fitting since we got a chance to revisit our friend Kacie who is the ✨queen of sparkly accessorizing✨ from head to toe! Kacie returned for her second Belonging Week to share a little bit about her life post-graduation. For those of you that don't remember, or are new to Angie Debo, Kacie is one of our own - she started at Angie Debo on her 3rd birthday! She graduated from Edmond North last year and is now currently enrolled at the Edmond Transition Academy! When she's not at ETA, she also has a job as a Sparkle Stylist at 💎Feed Me Gems💎 (Give a round of applause to Feed Me Gems for inclusive hiring practices!)! We learned last year that Kacie is a TikTok star, but even taking social media media out of the equation, her fame doesn't just have a local reach. Fittingly, Kacie is a national gem. This month she was featured on a billboard in 🌆Times Square🏙️! The National Down Sydrome Society sent out a worldwide call for photos of individuals with Down Syndrome, and of the 3,000 entries, Kacie was one of ten Oklahomans chosen to be featured in the campaign! The NDSS has an incredible mission that aligns with our celebration of this week - their goal is to “empower individuals with Down syndrome and their families by driving policy change, providing resources, engaging with local communities, and shifting public perceptions”. Kacie is a true testament to challenging public perceptions of Down Syndrome, and 💜our community is better because of her presence and advocacy💜. Change doesn't happen spontaneously; it takes extraordinary individual efforts! Of course, none of this week would be possible without the support of our 🐬Angie Debo PTO🐬 and local businesses that have graciously contributed to guest-speaker goodie bags this week: Blue7, Not Your Average Joe, Torchy’s Tacos, and Magnolia Soap and Bath Co.! Give Kacie some love in the 👇comments below👇, and get out there and practice belonging because we're better when we all work together!
