Last week, Arnett’s 6th-grade students were honored for their outstanding writing in the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) contest. The students had to put themselves in the shoes of a woman during the Revolutionary War and describe their involvement in one of the historic tea parties. Their hard work and creativity were evident, and Audia McIntyre took home 1st place. Congratulations to all participants!
Amidst a busy schedule filled with basketball and BETA activities, three Arnett students showcased their scientific talents at the Oklahoma State Science and Engineering Fair in Stillwater. Lincoln Coleman and Nicolas Sant’Anna presented their project, Can Video Games Affect Real-Life Skills (Continued), while Estrella Aguilar competed with Hearing Loss Due to Listening Devices. Estrella secured 2nd place in the Behavioral & Social Sciences division. We are extremely proud of these students for their academic achievements!
The Arnett Jr. and Sr. Beta Clubs made their mark at the Oklahoma State Beta Convention in Norman on Monday and Tuesday. Competing in 45 events, the Jr. Beta Club earned 31 plaques, while the Sr. Beta Club participated in 46 competitions and placed in 20 events, qualifying for the National Convention in Orlando, Florida, this June.

This week's Farmer's and Merchant's Bank "Banking on a Wildcat" goes to 8th grader, Hallie McCartor. Hallie's teacher's had this to say about her: "Hallie goes above and beyond in the classroom. Attention to detail and organization are key in her success. Her competitive spirit is awesome to see both on and off the floor. While being a good big sister in her own family, she is so kind and helpful to those around her." Congratulations, Hallie!
