Sacred Heart Catholic School celebrated the end of the school year on May 21 with an awards parade.
Students were given awards packets and were able to see their teachers one last time before the summer during the car parade.
Sacred Heart held a graduation Mass for its eight graduating sixth-graders.
Redlands Community College Board of Regents held a virtual meeting May 14. Five of the regents were present in the Redlands conference room, adhering to CDC guidelines by keeping their distance. Using the Zoom app, they conferenced with a collection of guests and speakers.
El Reno Public Schools coaches and administration were scheduled to meet Tuesday to formulate a plan to bring back athletes for summer workouts after a plan by the state’s governing body failed by a vote from its board of directors.
The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association took a three-step plan to a board vote last week but the measure failed by a 7-6 margin.
One of those voting against the plan was El Reno Superintendent Craig McVay, who sits on the board through the end of June.
Luke and Lacey Scott are glad they sell beef directly to customers.
This approach, which they operate from their farm nine miles west of El Reno, is helping at a time when COVID-19 is causing billions of dollars of damage to the cattle industry.
The Scotts have plenty of customers who buy beef directly from them — starting with $45 for a starter pack and going up to a half of beef.
“We’re busier than ever, but we’re keeping up with demand,” Luke Scott said.
The disruption COVID-19 has caused to schools is likely to continue into the new school year, and the state Education Department is asking school leaders to begin planning for it.
Schools should adopt multiple calendars, one primary and others as contingencies, to adapt to the unfolding public health situation, according to recently updated guidance from the department.
Here are five calendar options schools are asked to consider:
LAWSUITS
Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC vs. Kandi Roller for $6,784.41 to pay a debt plus interest, costs and attorney fees.
CVI SGP-CO Acquisition Trust vs. Jason Horton for $2,915.05 to pay a debt plus interest, costs and attorney fees.
Velocity Investments LLC vs. Francis Ngo for $2,634.14 to pay a debt plus interest, costs and attorney fees.
LVNV Funding LLC vs. David Julian for $6,316.94 to pay a debt plus interest, costs and attorney fees.
El Reno Public Schools held a Grab and Go Parade last week so students could say goodbye to teachers.
“Play Ball!”
That's the phrase that Oklahoma youth baseball and softball players have been waiting to hear since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic back in March.
That came to an end last week as El Reno co-hosted a youth softball tournament along with Harrah. Baseball started its league season last Monday and softball followed suit three days later.
