It was another busy week at Arnett Public School. Feb. 1 the elementary celebrated our January students of the month. Sterling Royal (1st grade), Jacee Johnson (Pre-K), Alex Strick (6th grade), Breelyn Waggoner (Kindergarten), and Rhett Beck (not pictured) were chosen for their hard work in the classroom, kindness, and behavior. These students will be treated to a trip to get a drink and snack from the quick stop.
The 270 Conference games were held this past weekend at Buffalo. Friday evening the Arnett Wildcats boys team took on the Mooreland Bearcats. The boys came up short, losing 53-49.
Saturday evening the Arnett Lady Wildcats took on the Leedey Lady Bison for the 270 Conference Championship. The Lady Wildcats battled to come back but came up short, losing 61-54.
