The District's Elementary Teacher of the Month is Rachel Welch. Ms. Welch teaches in our STEM program.
A note from her colleagues: Rachel is always willing to take on any project and help in any way possible. She usually stays behind the scenes but does so much to provide support. She deserves some recognition for all of her endurance and fortitude. We always love it when she comes for STEM down at the lower for a nice break. The kids love to have that time, too, and always appreciate "Ms. Stem."
Help us congratulate Megan Moore as our District Secondary Teacher of the Month! Ms. Moore works with our high school special education students.

Her new teaching techniques have been fun, and the students love her style!!! Megan has worked extremely hard to make this start of the school year run smoothly with our students.

Glenpool Intermediate Scholastic Book Fair
Students were selected by an audition and invited to spend the day in Muskogee rehearsing their music with a guest clinician, ending with a performance in the evening. For most 6th graders, this is their first ever choral audition and their first honor choir event. Intermediate students traveled with the students from Glenpool middle and high school who were also selected for EDHC groups. We are so proud of their accomplishments and the way they represented our school!
