On Friday, teachers and staff attended a professional development presentation led by Kevin Gray, a school safety and security specialist with the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Mr. Gray offered great instruction over De-Escalation and Options Based Thinking. Between sessions, Arnett faculty enjoyed a wonderful lunch from Gusto's Italian Grill.
Arnett Junior and Senior students spent the morning at Southwestern Oklahoma State University's area wide College Fair. There were over 35 tables with colleges/programs represented as options for these students to pursue after graduation. Students were able to talk with these colleges and gather information to help them with future decisions. It was a great morning!
Mrs. Broyles and Katie Girton recently attended the solo piano recital of Dr. Eduardo Moreira. The recital consisted of Chopin Ballades, piano transcriptions from famous Operas, as well as a piece played using only the left hand. It was an extraordinary performance and an amazing experience for all in attendance. Dr. Moreira is an Assistant Professor of Music at NWOSU and the pianist for the university's choirs.
