This week was another week full of excitement and celebrations at Arnett Public Schools!
Tuesday the Pre-K through 3rd grade classes enjoyed their Thanksgiving feasts. Each classroom came together to share a special meal, and every student brought a dish to contribute. The rooms were filled with smiles, full plates, and thankful hearts.

Tuesday evening was another great community filled evening. The Arnett FFA Labor Auction was held at the Arnett Christian Church. The Livestock boosters provided a delicious meal prior to the auction. Each FFA member was auctioned to provide labor to our community. There were also many other great items donated to the auction to raise money to help support our students.

One Arnett student, Chonnipa Krustuwan, was recognized last week for her amazing artistic talent. She placed 1st in the OACD Area 1 Poster Contest, and her poster will now move on to the State contest. The state winner will be announced on March 3rd. Congratulations, Chonnipa, and good luck at State!
