Congratulations to Kari Burkhardt, Bryan Dunn, Sarah Kidwell, Tina Major, Kathleen Wehmeyer and Leslie Wright.
Mrs. Burkhardt received a $999 grant to purchase an online immersion program for her Spanish students. This will be a valuable resource in the foreign language lab.
Coach Dunn received a $3,000 grant for the OHS robotics program. These monies will help fund a third team. Last year, Owasso Public Schools had two robotics teams. This year, with additional participation, a third team was added.
A $345 check was presented to Ms. Kidwell to buy two class GoldReaders in French: La vraie Patricia and Le premier travail de Damien, a region free DVD player. She will also purchase two films and film studies.
Mrs. Major received $1200. These funds will purchase a number of TI-84 Plus Silver C graphing calculators. These new-to-the-market calculators have high-resolution screens that are in full COLOR and backlit. They also allow you to super-impose images into a graph. Every teacher in the math department will receive one for their classroom.
A $782 check was presented to Mrs. Wright. These funds will pay for the Immersion website Yabla for all of the French Pre-AP and AP students.
