Monday was senior night for the High School Lady Wildcats softball team. They took on the Seiling Lady Wildcats after the seniors were honored. The girls ended up coming up short and losing 8-12. While the HS was playing at home, the JH girls traveled to Canadian, TX to play. They lost 5-4.

Tuesday the Arnett Junior and Senior students spent the morning at Southwestern Oklahoma State University’s area wide College Fair. There were over 35 tables with colleges/programs represented as options for these students to pursue after graduation. Students were able to talk with these colleges and gather information to help them with future decisions.

This past Wednesday was See You at the Pole. See You at the Pole™ is a global day of student prayer. This event began in 1990 with only ten students praying at their school. Now decades later, millions of students gather and pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September. See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. After praying, the students were served breakfast made by our Youth Pastor and helpers, Ross & Emily Royal, Kaleb & LynnAnne McDonald, and Clayton & Alison Kincannon. Thank you for your time and effort provided to help make this successful.

Donations will be taken to help cover costs of their trip.
