Grades 7-12 participated in CopeAble with the OSU Extension Office. Their activities included a card game in which they encountered life events. Students had to choose an action that was positive or negative and related points for their team.

Since so many students Grades 7-12 forgot their permission slips for the Copeable program today, all students will attend. If you believe your student will be triggered by any of the situations being addressed for coping skills, please call the office and let Cindy know they should not attend prior to 11 a.m. today.

Junior High Track bus will leave Mutual at 8:15 Monday morning headed to Okeene.

Northwestern Electric Cooperative has extended their deadline for an amazing opportunity for 8th graders. Energy Camp is a hands-on experience full of leadership-building activities, and we would love to send as many students as possible!! The link to their website for the energy camp contest: https://www.nwecok.coop/energy-camp Direct link to the application form is https://forms.gle/RBeTKjcsJSvXq3SH7. Applications are due April 15, 2025. More about Camp: This 3-day camp in Hinton, OK, is for eighth-graders - no NWEC membership required. Camp is May 27-30, 2025. Students participate in lots of hands-on activities, including climbing a utility pole and going up in a bucket, and build leadership skills with lots of workshops to keep things moving throughout the trip (side note: I have gone as a counselor and these kids really come out of their shell, have a great time and make friends from across the state!).Students are transported to and from the camp as well, so there is truly no expense for these students.

Mr. Shryock's 9th grade physical science class had an egg drop experiment today, with Rowdy Cole having the longest hang time from Grandstand to ground.
