Ms. Rooster's 3rd grade class has been working on presentations about the five tribes of Oklahoma! They presented this Monday for a reading specialist from NSU. The tribes represented were Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Choctaw. The student groups researched information about the tribes including the tribes population, the first chief of the specific tribes, traditional dances/ clothes/foods/games, the population of the tribes and some more interesting facts that the students wanted to know about the tribe they were researching.

The Cultural Resource Center from the Cherokee Nation came and spent the day with our Grand View Students on Friday, April 26, 2024. The students were able to play Native American games such as stick ball, game of graces, and blow guns. The students had fun learning about their culture. Thank you to the Cherokee Nation and the CRC taking the time to come and teach our children!

Please remember that tomorrow, Friday, May 3, 2024 is the last day of the after school program. We will not have after school care the last week of school. We hope to see you at Summer School beginning May 20th!

April 18, 2024 Erin Peters, Tanner Dearman, and Whitney Scott hosted a super Health and Wellness Fair. The students and parents were invited to rotate through activities that can be done at home to help live a more healthy lifestyle. Nikki Murray from the Cherokee County Health Department came and brought literature about healthy cooking and living. This was also an opportunity for our student leadership team to lead the younger students in the activities. The student leaders did an outstanding job of helping younger students navigate the games and also cleaning up. The event was a fun reminder that we all need to keep moving. Thank you to everyone that took time to come and help make this event possible. Go Chargers!
