AIM: Action in Muskogee Community Visioning Process

03/02/2017

We had a great tour of Cherokee Elementary today, led by principal Lori Jefferson. If you weren’t able to join us, you missed a treat. Lori is so enthusiastic and energetic, and she knows the name of ALL 252 students at Cherokee. She is intent on raising morale at this school, and her success is evident. The students were extremely well behaved in the halls and also in the classrooms, and their pride in the school is evident. We definitely need to work on raising Muskogee’s awareness of this program, which so often has been judged poorly due to factors beyond their control. I’ll forward a couple pictures Melony took this morning.

We had a short business meeting following our school tour. Melony has volunteered to set up our own page. Will keep you posted on this. Also, Melony urged us all to log in to twitter.com/muskogeepublicschools and like the site.

Make sure you see today’s Phoenix, and share on FB the story of Whittier’s archery team winning first place at the state competition. If you do not subscribe to the Phoenix, see my FB post and share it with your FB friends. We must do more to let Muskogee know how great our school system is.

See you March 22, at Whittier. We will go back to our regular after school time….I’ll let you know exactly what time when I check with the principal about end of day traffic. Thanks!

The archway is underway on the block of Columbus & 3rd St. This AIM project has been in process for several months and here it is!!

The archway is to show nostalgia for Downtown Muskogee, one of the oldest cities in Oklahoma. Downtown revitalization emerged as one of the most important aspects of the Action In Muskogee initiative. The letters are also being hung on the outside of Muskogee Little Theater!

The letters will be hung tomorrow morning at 9 AM so drive down Columbus and have a look for yourself.
