❓Did you keep up with the progress of Double Wolf Dare Week❓ Our🐺Wolf Pack🐺raised a whopping $233,229.00 to help Keaton’s Kindness Foundation facilitate the development of a Care Room at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital! And do you know what our 🐬Dolphin Family🐬contributed? Through the PTO 🪙Penny Wars🪙, we raised a grand total of $500.01 to donate to Santa Fe’s grand total! And if you were curious, the winner of our Penny Wars were our👦 boys👦with a grand total of $289.38 - that’s a huge chunk of change! ❤️Thank you so much, Dolphin families! Your contributions to the world around us are building a better future!❤️

Our feed has been filled with 🥶chilly🥶 news updates lately, so we thought we could warm it up with some sweet little images of our 🐶furry🐱 friends! Can you guess which 🐬Dolphin🐬 these cute, little, fur babies belong to? The first correct guess for each furry friend will get a special 📣shoutout📣!

Punxsutawney Phil wasn’t joking around when he predicted six more weeks of winter this year, but if we’re going to get that🌨️precipitation🌨️ we’d prefer good, wholesome packing snow! So with next week’s 🥶low temps🥶 and chances for snow in mind, here’s a little TBT to celebrate the kind of winter days we love - snowy ones!

Because of continued isolated icy roads in parts of our district as well as slick and dangerous parking lots and sidewalks, Edmond Public Schools will move to remote learning for all schools for Thursday, February 13th. Students should refer to information sent by their school site for assignments that will need to be completed for attendance to be counted. Based on the current forecasts, we plan to be back to in-person school on Friday.

Today was a 🏀SLAM DUNK🏀for our second-grade Dolphins! The Rolling Thunder Book Bus stopped by our school, and our second graders got to choose a free book and meet two very special guests - Oklahoma City Thunder’s ⚡️Adam Flagler and Nikola Topić⚡️! Check out some of the📚 titles📚 that our little readers picked below!

Because of the predicted freezing rain creating poor road conditions overnight, Edmond Public Schools will move to remote learning for all schools for Wednesday, February 12th.

Because of an increasing number of student and staff absences this week, we have made the difficult decision to close school for all Edmond Public Schools for tomorrow, Friday, January 31st. Extracurricular activities will continue as scheduled.   This decision was made in advance to give our families and staff members time to prepare. We will let you know as soon as possible how this instructional time will be made up.   We look forward to seeing your students back in class on Monday morning.

❓Did you know that January is School Board Appreciation Month?❓ Well, we did, so we thought we would treat our District 4 Representative, Cynthia Benson, to a celebratory 🕵️‍♀️scavenger hunt🕵️‍♂️! Thanks to our families and students, Mrs. Benson, accompanied by some very special 🐬student liaisons🐬, was able to follow hints taking her to each grade level in the building to pick up all kinds of goodies and treats! A special shoutout to: ✅our fifth-grade hosts: Bryan, Copeland, Devon, Emanuel, Emma, and Miranda. They were incredible school representatives! ✅our generous families who donated gifts! ✅our loving students who made all sorts of hand-made creations and showed our collective loving spirit! ✅EPS Communications for capturing all these precious moments around the building today! There’s nothing quite like being part of our 💜Dolphin family💜, and we’re so glad Mrs. Benson is one of ours! Let’s give her some A.D. love in the👇comments below👇!

Below 🥶freezing temps🥶 can’t get us down because we’ve got some sweet, new sweatshirts to keep us warm! A huge thank you to our 💜PTO💜 for always providing us with some much needed and much appreciated dolphin gear! Make sure to send your student in 🧣layers🧣this week! And label all layers with their first and last names! Our “Lost and Found” pile will be donated this Friday, so stay tuned for a fashion show of missing items!

We know that one of the things that is always in our control is our own attitude, and these students have an 💜attitude of gratitude💜! Our ✨Word of the Month Awards✨ are the perfect time for faculty and staff to intentionally recognize the individual contributions of our amazing students. They are also a great reminder of what 🐬Angie Debo🐬 is all about! We know that gratitude is being thankful, but more than that, gratitude is an action that requires conscientious awareness for how we interact with 🌎the world around us🌍. These students are not just thankful in words, but they are thankful in their actions - from remembering to use their manners to uplifting and supporting others, these students remind us every day that we're here to do something good with our time and talents! To our ✨Gratitude Award✨ winners, you're doing good and kind things! Keep up the hard work! We are grateful to call you ours! Show our winners some love in the 👇comments below👇, and check out some of the sweet words their teachers had for them!

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!

We got to sing along with veterans who served across all branches of the military! We were also visited by special guest and veteran, Adam Pugh! And we would have been remiss not to shoutout out very own 🐬Mrs. McArthur🐬 for her service to our country! ❤️🤍💙Thank you, veterans, for all you have sacrificed for us to be able to live the lives that we do! We love and appreciate you!💙🤍❤️ Show our servicemen and women some love in the 👇comments below👇!
