Anyone is welcome to show up tomorrow morning, but a few of our vendors will be holding off until the end of the month.

NO SCHOOL TODAY

We are sorry for the late notice, but we were just notified about the possibility of no water today on our campuses due to an emergency water repair in town. Due to this, Jay Public Schools will not be in session today, Thursday, September 3rd. This also includes all J-club activities (before and after school). Thank you.

September is su***de prevention month. I lost my Mamma eight years ago on September 2, in what was the most traumatic experience of my life.
I've since learned that mental illness is not a weakness, and it's not "taking the easy way out". It's easy for us all to judge until we're in that very dark place of facing it head-on.
This month, let's practice compassion and active listening. Because, without these conversations, people suffer in silence, and the ripple effect of one choice is damaging to so many people- and entire communities.
Don't suffer alone.
No judgement here.
Talk about it. Listen about it.

Please make sure you are checking on your neighbors in this heat. We've got at least another week of it.

Here's my statement, and here's the link from today's story (see below)
I don't see a need to keep defending this at this time. We're 100% volunteer, we're ready and willing to respond, and choices are being made at the County level that directly affect our residents. Spavinaw has a right to voice our concerns and report the truth to our residents.
I haven't said anything untruthful, and I was at the Association meeting in June, which is why I can report with 100% accuracy on what happened, what was said, and who said it.
I simply chose to notify Spavinaw that there are changes and that there are concerns since we weren't paged to TWO serious, life-threatening emergencies following those changes.
I'll continue to be transparent with you and I'll continue to refuse to back down from my DUTY to our neighbors and to my constituents.

God bless you all, and God bless our first responders in all of Mayes County. 🫶

Today, we had the most amazing time in Stillwater for OML's Community Leadership Development class.
The City of Stillwater, Mayor Will Joyce, and Dawn Dodson were the most gracious hosts. Thank you all for such an amazing time! It was inspiring to see how many opportunities you have created to build unity in your community!
We were able to tour Block 34 and the global KICKER headquarters.
Community leaders are working hard behind the scenes every day to create wonderful experiences for their cities and towns, and I'm grateful to be able to take ideas about their innovation home, in hopes of building something inspiring in Spavinaw.
We have a really cool surprise to reveal for our class project that will be unveiled at graduation in September. Stay tuned for that!
Here are a few pictures from the day.
