What a fun Friday we had at Nowata Elementary! Students were greeted by our local firefighters who helped keep kids safe by unloading cars and doing crosswalk duty. Next, our fabulous first responders from Nowata Fire, EMS, Sheriff, and Police visited with each grade level. They shared tips about staying safe during the holiday season and read the kids a Christmas story. The firefighters are holding a coloring contest for the students, and the winning students will get to have lunch with the firefighters!!! THANK YOU FIRST RESPONDERS!! Your friends at Nowata Elementary love you!

Today the young men of our MS and HS Choir joined 400 other choir students to celebrate vocal music at OU Real Men Sing Vocal Workshop. Our gentlemen; Kyle Hanigan, Adam Oxford, Adan Mimbs, Rhett Buesser, Aiden Wallace, Soren Tidewell and Gabriel Drake represented Nowata with great pride as they did an amazing job. These young men worked all day on music in a clinic situation and then performed an evening concert. Way to represent Nowata boys!!!!
