Congratulations to the Nowata Marching Ironmen for an AMAZING day at the Vinita Hornet Marching Festival. The Marching Ironmen took 1st place in the Hornet Class and Grand Champion for the overall competition. This is a personal success achievement for Mrs. Prince as it is her first ever overall Grand Championship for her career. I am so very proud of these kiddos and all their hardwork!!!! Next Saturday Oct. 5th we will participate in the Glenpool Blue and Gray Classic.

Mrs. Scott's Anatomy/Physiology and Biology students performed a "crime scene" lab activity in which they tested a "victims" stomach contents to determine which macronutrients were present in their sample, therefore discovering where the victim ate their last meal and who committed the crime. They really enjoyed the real life application of this lab!

Sadly, there have been many incidents in the news lately revolving around threats of violence to schools. We are seeing this trend at both the state and national levels. Thankfully, however, most of these incidents have proven to be unsubstantiated. Please click the following link to read the superintendent's letter to the school community explaining how Nowata Public Schools handles threats of violence. https://5il.co/2x72t

Good morning, Folks, I had the date wrong, so I missed the opportunity to tell you about a great event that occurred last night. The Nowata Library held an open-house. Even though that event has come and gone, I would encourage you stop by check out all of the great resources that our library has to offer. It is a warm and welcoming environment, and I can assure you that they have something there for everyone to enjoy. When you get a chance, take a minute to check out their Facebook page to see all the programs and events that are offered. The upcoming Meet the Author event on Sunday, September 29th from 2:00-4:00pm is just an example of the quality events that take place in our library.

Varsity Softball will play at 10:00 AM Saturday at the OKU Tournament.

The bonfire is being postponed due to weather. We are looking to move it to the Thursday night before Alumni Night (Oct 3)

Reminder before Friday Football:
