For our flood recovery this summer, Lowe's Hero Project donated $2,500 in store credit, which was used to help refurbish our field house. They also brought a lift and painted the goal post. They assisted in the repair of our fencing, helped clean, and assembled lockers. Pictured left to right: Brian Speake, Brady Williams, Ron Laughlin, Jason Cope, and Blake Frost. Thank you!

Kick For A Cause held a kickball tournament yesterday in Sallisaw to help Webbers Falls Schools. They raised over $800 to go toward the expenses of rebuilding our facilities. They also collected school supplies for our students. A special thank you to one of Dr. Swearingen's students and her husband, Micalla and Jamison Schrader, and the rest of the Kick For A Cause team, for the hard work and long hours that went into the preparation of this event. Thank you to the donors for helping to offset the expenses. Finally, thank you to the players who had a blast playing kickball for our school. May you be blessed as you have blessed our school.

Benefit for Webbers Falls School and Moffett School who suffered extensive flood damage. Please see the images for information.
Terri Pirtle, Executive Director of the ONEOK Foundation, along with ONEOK pipeline employee Rick Denley and ONEOK Operations Manager Randy Mashburn presented Webbers Falls Schools with a check for $120,000 yesterday. ONEOK had pledged $1 million for Flood Relief, and we were fortunate to get a piece of the pie. They also donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross. Donation money will be used to purchase playground equipment, Ipads, computer chairs, and other technology or student/teacher needs. There are no words to describe the gratitude we feel for this tremendous donation. Thank you, ONEOK Foundation, for supporting the students and staff at Webbers Falls Public Schools. (The diagram below is the blueprint for our new elementary playground equipment.)
Thank you, Buckhorn Freewill Baptist Church, for the donation to replace the trophy case in memory of Cindy Hayes. Mrs. Hayes taught 2nd grade here and was a member of Buckhorn FWB. Pastor Darren Wright delivered a check today. Pastor Wright and Louie Fritts also delivered snack bags for each student Monday morning from Buckhorn. We are blessed.
We received an unexpected donation of supplies today from the staff at Compassus Hospice out of Muskogee. Thank you so much for thinking of us.

Congratulations to the Webbers Falls Lady Warriors - 2019 Conference Champions!
The Cherokee Nation Child Support Services brought our staff a large donation of supplies today. We greatly appreciate your support!
Webbers Falls students will return to halls bedecked with signs representing various character traits. These signs were removed from the halls of the now closed Alice Robertson School in Muskogee. The teachers who painstakingly removed the signs were Mr. Hicks, Mr. Wilkett, Mrs. Johnson, & Mrs. Ruckman. The signs were returned to Webbers Falls, and Mr. Hicks took them apart and painted the words and backgrounds in Warrior maroon and gray. He is now hanging them in our halls. Thanks to all those involved in this endeavor. They look awesome!
Denise Devin dropped off four storage shelves for our teachers today. Assistant Principal Jordan Garner unloaded them for us. Thanks!
We received a third load of donations from Maria Walker and her fellow staff at Timber Ridge Elementary in Broken Arrow. Secretary Christy McKinley brought the donations in her truck. We want to thank all the staff at Timber Ridge for your support as well as Raising Cane's for their participation in this fundraiser. Words cannot express how grateful we are for your kindness and generosity.
