A Solar Eclipse is coming!!!!!!
Saturday Oct. 14th ~ 11:40am
Any student and their family who wants to view the eclipse safely is welcome to come to the school on Saturday. We have purchased eclipse glasses that you may borrow. We are not sending them home with students because another eclipse is coming in April of 2024.
Solar eclipses happen when the New Moon casts a shadow on Earth. The Moon's shadow is not big enough to engulf the entire planet, so the shadow is always limited to a certain area. The path of the eclipse does not cross OK but Arnett should see a partial eclipse of about 77%.
Carla Vicente, foreign exchange student from Spain, performed the Star Spangled Banner at the Arnett Rodeo on guitar. She learned to play the guitar with her father in 2020 during the Covid shut down period. Carla will be performing again at one of the Arnett High School games.
Arnett High School Academic Team traveled to Fort Supply today and competed in the District Tournament. They will compete in Regionals on November 11th! 🎉🖤💛

Our first week of our Farmer's and Merchant's "Banking on a Wildcat" goes to Hallie McCartor. She was voted on by the Faculty and Staff and they had this to say about her:
Hallie is a hard worker and always wants to do her best. She constantly asks what she can do to help. She wants to make her teachers' and her classmates' lives easier. She likes things neat and organized and is willing to help those in need. She has a compassionate heart and wants to better herself. If she sees trouble, she stays away from it. She encourages others. She is dependable. Yes, she is talented and intelligent as well, but it is her servant heart, her willingness to do what is right, and the way she adds good to this world. Congratulations, Hallie!
Students! This Wednesday the FCA will be taking a bus to the Fields of Faith even in Mooreland. This is for all students, grades 7-12. We will depart at 4 and arrive home around 9. This is a free event, so all you need to bring money for is food on the way there. Please get in contact with Mr. Royal or Mr. McDonald if you want to go. Go Cats!
Arnett Schools' parent teacher conferences are scheduled for Monday October 9 and Tuesday October 10 from 3:30-7:30 p.m. each day. The junior high and high school teachers will be in the cafeteria to meet with parents, and the elementary teachers will meet in their classrooms. We would like to encourage parents to make every effort to meet with their child's teacher. Research shows that the more parents and teachers share relevant information with each other about a student, the better equipped both will be to help that student achieve academically.
Join Talara and Brianna for this week's Morning Announcements. Go Cats!

FAFSA is seeing some big changes this year! Applications do not open until December. See the attached flyer for more information.
On Friday, teachers and staff attended a professional development presentation led by Kevin Gray, a school safety and security specialist with the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Mr. Gray offered great instruction over De-Escalation and Options Based Thinking. Between sessions, Arnett faculty enjoyed a wonderful lunch from Gusto's Italian Grill.
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. It was a great morning!
Mrs. Broyles and Katie Girton recently attended the solo piano recital of Dr. Eduardo Moreira. The recital consisted of Chopin Ballades, piano transcriptions from famous Operas, as well as a piece played using only the left hand. It was an extraordinary performance and an amazing experience for all in attendance. Dr. Moreira is an Assistant Professor of Music at NWOSU and the pianist for the university's choirs.
