Today we celebrated the Oklahoma Centennial with several special activities. We began the day by singing Oklahoma with the whole school. We then went to the cafeteria and listened to storyteller Laurette Willis. Later we each wrote "Our Life In 2007, Our Favorite Things". Our writings are going to be put into a school time capsule. The time capsule will be opened when we graduate from high school.
We went outside to the playground and planted a maple tree in memory of the centennial. Two of our playground trees
received certificates for being "Witness Trees". That means the trees are 100+ years old. They were alive to "witness" statehood. We finished off the day with a yummy piece of Oklahoma birthday cake. The cake was huge & everyone in the school ate a piece! Oklahoma shared it's birthday with our own Youthful Yuliana who turned 9.

Mrs. Jones' Junior Geniuses,
Sounds as though you had a day full of activities for our state's centennial celebration. I wish I could have been here to enjoy the celebration with you!
That's a most impressive cake! And I can't believe there's not one but two trees on our playground over 100 years!
I am so proud of each of you and always remember that you are very special.
Love,
Mrs. Hathcoat
