Happy Holidays from Putnam City Schools!

🎶 Caroling, but string instrument style! Western Oaks Middle School 8th Grade Orchestra went caroling in the District right before winter break to spread some holiday cheer. 🎻 We always love when they stop by the Admin building! 🎄

🚌 Our bus drivers are AMAZING! 🤩 Many of them took their own time and money to decorate their buses for the holidays and they looked great. 🎄 The PCESP had a fun contest and the winners seen in the photo got gift cards! Thank you, Transportation, for going above and beyond for our Putnam City students and families! 💛

The Second Grade teachers of Coronado Heights Elementary turned desks into destinations and curiosity into passports as they took imaginary flights to Mexico, Israel, and England for the Holidays! At each country, they had the best time discovering Holiday traditions around the globe and making crafts that represent those traditions! #HolidayHappenings 🎄

Did you know we have a Singing Superintendent? 🎤

🏀 Some Will Rogers Wranglers had an extra special guest read to them today! They were so excited to welcome Cason Wallace from the Oklahoma City Thunder, listen to "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," and then ask him some great questions. Did you know he played the saxophone in school? 🎷 How cool!
