Today, Wednesday, June 10, during our Quarterly Membership Luncheon, we learned about Our Blood Institute in Enid new Nonprofit partnership program ($$!! 🩸🩸) and much more about OBI from Brandi Atkinson.
Then The State Chamber of Oklahoma's Director of Public Affairs Luke Reynolds hopped on a zoom call with us to discuss SQ 832, the Minimum wage question that will be on the ballot. This was incredibly eye-opening.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Blood Institute for sponsoring today's Quareterly Membership luncheon and to State Chamber of Oklahoma's Director of Public Affairs Luke Reynolds. Thank you as well to those that attended!

Next luncheon is next week at our Quarterly Women In Business Luncheon, Wednesday, June 17, 11:30 am - 1 pm, Chamber Board Room, 1301 E. Main St., which will be sponsored by OBI as well. Free lunch so please register on our website event page for this one.

About the Hive Learning Lab: "At The Hive Learning Lab, we do things a little differently—on purpose.
We are a nontraditional learning environment built around the belief that children thrive when they are known, guided, and challenged in meaningful ways. Our approach is child-focused, not child-centered. That means we honor each child’s unique needs, interests, and pace while still providing structure, expectations, and strong adult leadership.
We are not here to compete with other educational models. We believe families deserve options, and The Hive offers a model that some families are actively looking for. By offering a nontraditional approach, we are helping change the way education feels—for students and families alike.
We teach more than academics (though those matter deeply here). We intentionally guide students in learning respect, understanding boundaries, and developing self-awareness—skills that shape not just successful students, but capable, confident humans.
We believe in protecting childhood. In a world that often rushes kids to grow up, we make space for curiosity, hands-on learning, creativity, and connection. Because real learning happens when children feel safe, seen, and supported.
At The Hive, we’re not just preparing students for the next grade—we’re helping them build the foundation for life."

WELCOME Hive Learning Lab to the Cushing Chamber AND to Cushing! Thank you for your investment in our community, especially in the Broadway District! We are excited for this new school in our community and CHEERS to many years of growth and success for you all AND your friends! ❤️❤️
