El Reno School Superintendent Craig McVay will join Mayor Matt White Thursday afternoon for El Reno Live.

The pair created El Reno Now, a monthly gathering, that was interrupted by COVID-19.

The program was held at the Public Safety Center off SW 27th and featured updates on city and school happenings as well as guest speakers. A banquet held to celebrate the program after its first year and the accomplishments throughout the community raised more than $15,000 for four local nonprofits.    

After emerging unscathed through a run of games against the other four teams in the top half of the District 5A-1 standings, El Reno High School’s football team is now the odds-on favorite to claim the league championship.

“I know the players believe they are the district champs, but we have got to use the next two weeks to get better,” said El Reno head coach Chuck Atchison.

Voters will go to the polls for the Nov. 3 General Election, City of El Reno Ward 1 Council Member Election and the City of Oklahoma City Special Election.

▶ Early voting will be available at the county election board office from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Early voting is also available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Two of the most popular student-driven events on the calendar each year at El Reno High School will take place despite COVID-19, but the gatherings will look different than in the past.

El Reno Public Schools Veterans Day and Gifts to the Yanks assemblies will be held virtually.

“We looked for ways in this environment we could still do the events. We don’t ever want to stop doing it and felt like it was in the best interest of everyone to do it virtually.
