Angie Debo Elementary -

It's Ms. Burlison's 🎉birthday🎉 today, so we're going to share her 10 telling pics that speak to the kind of person she is (❤️which is the kind of person we love❤️)! For her next trip around the sun, she's wishing for 🎂love, laughter, and levity🎂! Let's show her some 🐬A.D. love🐬 today, and wish her well in this next year of life!

It’s time to celebrate September’s 🎉Final Friday🎉! Our ✨Dolphin Splash Showcases✨ this month were performed by Mr. Johnson’s, Mrs. Holt’s, and Mrs. Byrne’s 5th graders, and Mrs. Gomez’s class opened the showcases for fourth grade! Class awards went to: 🥇M.V.P. - Mrs. Salafia, Mrs. Rolle, Mrs. Bollinger, and Mrs. Appleton 🥄The Golden Spoon - Mrs. Burlison, Mrs. Byrne, Mrs. Cunningham, and Mrs. Gomez 🧹The Dapper Dustpan - Mrs. Gomez, Mrs. Krist, Mrs. Martin, and Mrs. Hopson ✅Attendance - Miss Khan, Ms. Rogers, Mrs. Hunt, and Mrs. Gambill Londyn, Kaliana, Sloane, Cassidy, Sonoma, Walter, Ariel, John, Addison, Ellie, Evelyn, Adyel, Brecken, Niyah, Presley, Liam, Adam, Gustavo, Rhett, Crosby, Loyal, Kayden, Adam, Jack, JaQuavis, Gibson, Luke, Brantley, Marty Faith, Carson, Reba, Zora, Roman, Maria, Mia, Emma, Leightyn, Baker, Gavin, and Brecken all received ✉️postcards✉️ from adults in the building for being exemplary Dolphins!

You want to know ⬆️What's Up this Wednesday⬆️? In a highly plausible, theoretical "whoops," Angie Debo received some packages that were supposed to be delivered to teachers that moved to 🦦Post Oak🦦! Mr. Goodrich was (theoretically) more than happy to take a 🚛delivery truck🚛 and drop them off if the truck could accommodate the volume of the packages! Fifth graders calculated the volume of each 📦box📦 and then added the sums together so see if the delivery truck had the space to get them all across town in one trip! Hats off to ✨Mrs. Holt✨ for reminding us that foundational math skills are applicable all the time in the world around us!

We're 🔥fired🔥 up about STEAM! Today, first through fifth grades got to see "🔥Fire and Ice🧊" - one the Science Museum's "On the Go" programs! We even got to see Mrs. Payne's hand get set on fire, but don't worry, no 🧯fire extinguishers🧯 were necessary, she was protected by ✨science✨! A huge thank you to the Science Museum and to Mrs. Yarbrough for coordinating such an awesome experience for our 🐬Dolphins🐬!

Today we got to celebrate our ✨KINDEST✨ Dolphins with a special award ceremony at Dolphin Splash! In short, these are Dolly kids - the ones that see someone without a 😀smile😀 and lend them their own to make the world just a little bit brighter! Great job, Dolphins! We love celebrating you!

⬆️What's up, everyone? It's Wednesday, so it's time to celebrate something happening in our building!⬆️ And we're taking it back to the library because yesterday was 🧢Hats off to Reading🧢 day, our first library dress-up day of the year! Ms. Ashcraft has lined up one dress-up day a month for the rest of the year, so let's show her that we know 🐬Dolphins🐬 love an excuse to wear something fun and funky!

You know it's going to be a good Friday when 💚Edmond Santa Fe💚 comes to play! This morning we got to share Dolphin Splash with the 🏀Lady Wolves Basketball Team🏀, and our pre-k and first-grade Dolphins got some special quality time with the 🐺Wolf Pack🐺 as they stuck around for story time, centers, and recess! And can you guess who has already committed to coming back for the 🏃‍♀️Dolphin Dash🏃‍♂️?! Get ready to run with the Pack, Dolphins!

Today's ⬆️"What's Up Wednesday"⬆️ comes straight from first grade, where students were working on 🎤Dolly Parton🎤 portraits to honor the late singer, activist, and orator of our September "Words to Live By". Our Dolphins did a directed drawing of Dolly and used magazines to identify and isolate letters to spell out her iconic quote, "If you see someone without a 🤗smile🤗, give them yours". She might be gone, but our 🐬Dolphins🐬will keep her legacy alive by sharing one smile at a time!

It's "What's Up Wednesday," and today we're spotlighting the Dolphins that completed 📚Ms. Ashcraft's Summer Reading Challenge📚! Students read books and completed activities over the break and were celebrated with an 🎉exclusive party🎉 in the library this morning, complete with donuts and goody bags full of fun treats! Let's give a 👏round of applause👏 to our avid readers and to Ms. Ashcraft who always finds ways to make reading fun! Be on the 👀lookout👀 for Ms. Ashcraft's Secret Book Club...coming soon!

Happy 🎓graduation🎓 weekend to these former 🐬Dolphins🐬! We were so happy to host our Angie Debo alums for a special 🎉Dolphin Splash🎉 to celebrate this major milestone and to remind students - past, present, and future - "Once a Dolphin, always a Dolphin"! Grads came from schools across the metro area to discover that no matter where you go or what you do, your 💜Dolphin family💜 will always be here for you!

No need to wait until 2028 to celebrate some stellar Olympians; we’ve got standout athletes right here at Angie that deserve a 👏round of applause 👏! Our Special Olympians took 🏅19 podium spots 🏅 at this year’s Special Olympics and then decided to do a little encore here at A.D. so all of our Dolphins could see excellence in action! Way to go, 🐬Dolphins 🐬! We’re so proud of you!

Our first ever 👟A.D. running club 👟 took on the OKC Memorial Marathon this past weekend, and WOW, what an experience! These Dolphins have been tracking their 25 miles since December, and their hard work did not go unnoticed on Saturday as they ran their last ✅1.2 marathon miles✅ with THOUSANDS of kids from across the state! While marathons are run all over the world, the 💚OKC Memorial Marathon💚 is a unique event that showcases the spirit of Oklahoma City. In remembrance of those we lost in the Murrah Building bombing, this marathon is a yearly reminder of the Oklahoma Standard and that what has been lost or stolen is never forgotten but re-harnessed into energy to keep our great state moving forward. We can’t wait to start training for next year!

Is it good? Is it a vibe? It must be something to do with the 💜Good Vibe Tribe💜! Angie Debo's premier kindness club stepped out of the building to put into action our building character traits of ✨kindness, compassion, and leadership✨ by helping out the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma! This group of 🐬Dolphins🐬 was chosen for their proven influence and initiative in their grade level and across our building! We can't wait to see the good vibes they spark around our school and out in our larger community!

Earlier this month, our first-grade 🐬Dolphins🐬 took a trip down to the First Americans Museum! Students and chaperones got to explore the 🔎FAMily Discovery Center🔍 and participated in the 🙋Native Knowledge Game Show🙋‍♀️ by competing in teams in a series of fun and engaging games all centered on Indigenous knowledge, customs, and cultures!
