5th grade students from across the district competed in an exciting district-wide intramural soccer tournament! This event brought together teams from across Shawnee, giving young athletes a chance to showcase their skills, teamwork, and passion for the game. 🎉⚽️
We’re thrilled to offer opportunities like this to introduce students to sports, build confidence, and inspire a love for athletics that will last a lifetime. 🏃♀️⚽🏃♂️
Way to go, future Wolves soccer stars! 🐺

Exciting news for Horace Mann Elementary! 🎉 We're thrilled to announce the addition of two new buddy benches, designed to foster friendship and inclusivity among students.
One bench was generously donated by April Stobbe in honor of her father, CL Craig, for Father’s Day. The second bench comes from Shawnee Milling, showcasing their commitment to supporting our local schools.
These benches were made possible through a wonderful partnership with Rose Rock Habitat for Humanity. We can't wait to see the positive impact they’ll have on our students! 💙

Our 5th graders had a blast on National Walk/Bike/Roll to School Day! 👟🚲🛴 They walked from Sequoyah Elementary to KidSpace Park for a day filled with fun, movement, and laughter!
The students were able to connect with the other 5th graders across district with a little friendly competition.
A huge thank you to everyone that made the day possible, but especially our friends at Pogo - A Blue Zones Certified Community, City of Shawnee, OK Government Police Department, our principals including Dr. DJ, our Child Nutrition team, and our transportation department!
What a fun day moving! 👟👟
