Angie Debo Elementary -

Happy Friday, Dolphins! 🐬 Today's Summer Social Bingo Board asked you to go for a walk with your friends, family, or fur babies! In Mrs. Alexander's case, it was all of the above! If you haven't gotten your walk in yet, don't worry, you've got all weekend! Let's see those pics in the comments! 📷🐬

💜Happy Well-Wish Wednesday to all of our Dolphins!💜 This week, our CARE Team wanted to pop in and send you some love! Even if you don't know them personally, Mrs. Daugherty, Mrs. Harmon, and Mrs. Keck are in every single part of the school, all day long, helping students, faculty, and staff stay regulated and productive! We simply could not function the way that we do without all of their hard work, love, and support! How fitting it is that they all wanted to make sure their well-wishes included some foundational coping strategies! Send our CARE Team some love in the comments, and always know that all of our faculty and staff here at A.D. love you, and we wish you well! 💜🐬

📱📚How about another twofer to start your week off right?! 📚📱 BOTH the Social and Library BINGO Boards need you to find FIVE jokes and share them with a friend or family member! Check out the jokes that our teachers found on Epic! Drop your favorite joke in the comments! Nothing beats a dreary Monday like a good laugh! 😂🐬

💜 It's FRIDAY, and although we can't do the Friday Dance together, we CAN reminisce on our favorite memories of the '23-'24 school year! For today's BINGO square, we've chosen 10 of our favorite images from the school year - from our first-ever recorded, just-for-fun, back-to-school faculty and staff picture 📷 to Dolphins loving, celebrating, and including other Dolphins 🐬 to our 5th Grade End of the Year Clap Out👏 (and so many other fun things in between)! It was a great year, but we want to know your favorite memories, too! Mention us with your favorite photos or memories from the year; we can't wait to see them! 💜

💜🐬Happy Well-Wish Wednesday, Dolphins! Did you know that during Kindness Week our counselors facilitated the creation and maintenance of an affirmation board at the front of our school? Students and teachers were able to leave well-wishes for passersby - a perfect pick-me-up for the whole building! To extend our Kindness Week practice, every Wednesday throughout the summer will be Well-Wish Wednesday, where you'll get a well-wish from a member of our Dolphin family and you'll have the opportunity to reciprocate in the comments! On behalf of all of our Dolphin faculty and staff members, we hope your summer is off to a great start! We love you and wish you well, and we can't wait to see you back in August! 🐬💜

🐬🌞📚Today's BINGO post is a twofer, which means you can mark it off on your Social AND Library BINGO Boards - go get a Metropolitan Library card! If you already have one, borrow an ebook through Hoopla, EPIC, or Capstone Interactive! Mrs. Martin went and got her Metropolitan Library card; let's see yours! Drop your photos in the comments! 📚🌞🐬

✍️🐬💜Last Friday, State Senator, Adam Pugh stopped by Angie Debo to announce the winners of his second annual EPS Essay and Art Contest! Students in Writing Club submitted essays about Oklahoma's state animals and Oklahoma adventures, and we were elated (X6) to see our Dolphins recognized for their exceptional work as burgeoning authors! It's worth mentioning that among our winners, we had a winning sibling duo, some of the longest essays submitted, and THE ONLY essay submitted that included Spanish and English! On top of Skyzone passes and a pair of socks (admittedly Senator Pugh's favorite thing about Skyzone), the students will have their work displayed at the Capitol! Drop a congratulations to our winners and a big thank you to Senator Pugh in the comments! 💜🐬✍️

💜🐬What a great (and busy) last Dolphin Splash of the year! While we got to recognize students for a myriad of reasons, our big award ceremony this morning was for our Dynamic Dolphins who were singled out as being school leaders! JFK once said that "leadership and learning are indispensable to each other," and as we wind down on another school year, we love being able to highlight learners in our building that use their strengths to make our school, city, state, and larger global community a better place! Keep doing great things, Dolphins! You're changing the world! 🐬💜

Our hearts, bellies, and hands are full after the most perfect Teacher Appreciation Week! From handmade cards and crafts to gift certificates and treats, we were showered in love, kindness, and appreciation from all around! A very special shoutout to: 💜our Angie Debo PTO for treating us EVERY SINGLE DAY! (Want to join? Check them out here: https://www.facebook.com/addolphins ) ☕our new May Avenue neighbors, 7 Brew, for the donated drinks! (Everyone knows teachers run on caffeinated beverages!) 🏥Oklahoma ER and Hospital for all of the goodies! (You all are literally life-savers, and you do so much for us individually and collectively. We can't thank you enough!) 🧼Magnolia Soap and Bath Co. for the fragrant bag of samples (If you want some top-tier smells, check them out! There is absolutely nothing that beats being an Angie Debo Dolphin, and we're so glad to call this community ours!🐬

🐬Once a Dolphin, always a Dolphin! 🐬 We had a very special Friday morning here at Angie Debo as Dolphin alums (and soon-to-be EPS grads) came back for a graduation celebration! How incredible for our current Dolphins to be able to see themselves represented in seniors coming back to see familiar spaces, share fond memories, and look forward to new adventures! We even had some very special seniors get to celebrate with faculty family members! 🎓2024 Seniors, we wish you well as you embark on your next big step! As you go out into the world and do great things, always know that your Dolphin family will be here rooting for you! 🎓

💪🏼👠…when it’s “Wellness Wednesday,” but you want to dress up for National Principals’ Day…👠💪🏼 If there’s one thing that, invariably, comes to mind when thinking of Mrs. Williams, it’s her shoe game! And while we’re always impressed by her dedication to our Dolphin family, today we tried “walking in her shoes” for the duration of a picture, and we all have a new-found admiration for our high-heeled heroine! Whether it’s coming up with fun dress-up days, figuring out the perfect way to treat the faculty and staff (Today she made the rounds with an “Orange you glad it’s May?” cart!), being a listening and supportive ear, responding to any and all student, family, or educator needs, or running the school (literally and figuratively) in 👠heels👠, we know there’s no harder job and no greater boss! We’d follow you to the ends of the earth (so long as we can agree that heels are not the appropriate footwear for such a trek)!💜🐬 PS - Peep the guys in our building showing up in their own version of heels for Mrs. Williams!🍞

⚡We're Thundering Up at Angie Debo for the playoffs, and what better way to celebrate than with a segment of Superb Sports Stories with Everett?! You can check out Everett's new article here: https://edmondpublicschoolsok.sites.thrillshare.com/o/angiedebo/article/1568465 With the Thunder up 2-0 in their series against the Pelicans, last night was proof again that the Thunder have that dog in them, and they're ready to take on the Western Conference! 🐶 Does anyone have any pics of the games so far? Drop them in the comments below, and remember, game days are for Thunder gear! ⚡

Oklahoma State Testing has made its way to Angie Debo, and we know our Dolphins are ready! Check out these motivational posters that we have lining our walls! A couple test-taking tips and tricks to remember for your testing days: ✏️Make sure you get a full night of sleep; a well-rested brain is a well-tested brain! ✏️Eat a healthy breakfast! (If you missed yours at home, our cafeteria staff has you covered!) ✏️Read all your questions thoroughly! ✏️Tests are only a teeny, tiny snippet in part of a larger picture! They help show us some of what you know but not all of who you are! Good luck and do well, Dolphins! You can do this! 💜🐬 To view our testing schedule, check our website calendar and your weekly newsletters!

🧘🏼‍♀️How about a Mindfulness Monday to start your week?! 🧘🏼‍♀️ This first grader needed a little mid-recess reset and knew just what to do! Here's to the last SIX Mondays of the '23-'24 school year! May they be mindful and meaningful as we approach the end of the year!

💜🐬It's that time again - The Dynamic Dolphin Awards were today, and we recognized the students in our building who routinely show accountability. Like the French playwright, Moliere, said, "It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable"! These students have been incredible at owning actions and inactions, what they have done and what they should have done, and ultimately that's the true measure of a Dolphin! Way to go, Dolphins! You're making the world a better place each and every day!🐬💜

We were up to our 👂ears👂 in fun activities happening around the building last Friday: 🐬As a whole school, we celebrated our second annual Idiom Day! 🐬Pre-K had a Glow Party to wrap up their unit on the letter Gg! 🐬State Senator, Adam Pugh, stopped by to hangout with our First Graders! 🐬Fifth Grade leaders helped to sell popsicles, Croc jibbitz, and other goodies to benefit their fundraiser! 🐬Fifth Grade got to play BINGO with the principals for having the best attendance in the building!
