Graduation

Boots and Belles Goes Off Without a Hitch! On April 15th, the juniors

and seniors from BF-DC

Schools decided to put on

their sharpest clothing, put

on their best makeup, and

attend the Boots and Belles

themed Prom. The entire

event was fantastic, from

the pictures to the After

Prom activities.

The night started off with

the Promenade. The great

walkthrough and picture

fest sadly had to be moved

inside for weather related

reasons, yet the attendees

didn’t seem to mind. Dinner

followed, with the sopho-

more servers bringing out

plates of delicious salads,

decadent peach cobbler,

and a fantastic main course

including grilled chicken,

scalloped potatoes, green

beans and a tasty dinner

roll.

After dinner the Senior

and Junior Classes went to

take group pictures (both in

the serious and goofy fash-

ion), followed by the sopho-

more servers who volun-

teered, and then the Senior

Hall of Fame pictures. Those

who didn’t go off to take

more pictures danced to

their hearts content, the

night revealing people to be

well skilled in dancing.

The 2016 Prom King

Kaden Matuszewski and

Prom Queen Elena Rodri-

guez were announced and

they shared a dance.

Sadly, the event ended

late into the night, only to

be followed by the After

Prom with their many

snacks and activities from a

giant blow up wrecking ball

to smaller suits used to play

soccer while bumping into

people. There were many

gift cards given to the par-

ticipants as prizes and eve-

ryone had a great time.

Thank you to all who

helped to decorate, make

and serve food and helped

to make this Prom and Af-

ter Prom fantastic.

Walker Students Enjoy Jump Rope for Heart Will Rogers Elementary

participated in the Jump

Rope for Heart campaign on

April 5th and 6th. Will Rog-

ers Elementary raised

$2510.7 in donations. The

hard work put in by the stu-

dents is critical to the suc-

cess of the American Heart

Association. Because of

Jump Rope for Heart over

$3.9 billion dollars have

been invested in research,

over 30 million kids now eat

healthier school meals, and

over 1 million high school

grads have been trained in

life saving CPR.

Mrs. Simmons and Mr.

Schneberger set out jumped

themed stations in the gym

for the classes to rotate

through. The Will Rogers

students that raised over

4th and 5th grades Science

students have been having

a blast. The 5th graders can

use a dichotomous key to

find animals or candy. Both

are important. The 5th grad-

ers have completed the Sci-

ence portion of the OCCT

test. Will Rogers Elementary

is very proud of their work

4th and 5th Science Having a Blast

The Burns Flat-Dill City

second grade students pre-

sented a music program,

"Second Grade Shines," at

6:00 pm Thursday, March

31 in the Will Rogers Gym-

nasium.

The program consisted of

some of the students favor-

ite songs. The children's

book author, Dr. Seuss, is

celebrated in the month of

March; therefore, tribute

was paid to him with "Dr.

Seuss, We Love You." The

s i l l y t r a d i t i o n a l

"Skinnamarink" and Rodg-

ers and Hammerstein's "Do

Re Mi" were enjoyed by the

audience, also. The stu-

dents performed the lively,

patriotic song by George M.

Cohan, "You're a Grand Old

Flag." Warning us of some

of the simple dangers in

life, Ashley Parker, Elijah

Ellis, Jaiden Crotts, Kodie

Lopez, Oceanna Garner,

Lyssa Day, and Jamison

Williams interjected pre-

cautions in the song, "Watch

Out!" The French traditional

song "Frere Jacques" was

sung with an ostinato ac-

companiment. Xylophones

and metalophones were

played by Edgar Baez,

Loghan Brue, Johshua

Knight, Ciara Niavez, Korbin

Perriman, Tanner Uecke,

Dakota Walker, and Dakoda

Weese. The students ended

their performance signing

"You Are My Sunshine."

Thank you to the second

grade teachers, Mrs. Sel-

man, Miss Hines, and Miss

Howes, for their assistance.

Directing the students was

Mrs. Fite, elementary music

instructor.

The xylophones used by

the students were pur-

chased with a "Classroom

Enhancement Grant" of

$4,230 awarded to the ele-

mentary music program by

the Carolyn Watson Rural

Oklahoma Community Foun-

dation.

BF-DC "Second Grade Shines" Music Program

$50.00 were invited to par-

ticipate in the “Pie the

Teacher” and “Glow Party”

incentives. For every $50

the students raised they

could pick a teacher or ad-

ministrator to pie on Friday

April 8th. There were 46

students that participated

and 23 of those raised $50

or more. Eighteen members

of the Will Rogers Elemen-

tary staff were pied with a

yummy whipped cream pie.

Friday afternoon the stu-

dents attended a Glow Party

in the gym with black lights,

glow sticks, glow badmin-

ton, glow ring toss, glow

jump ropes, and glow tic tac

toe. Mrs. Simmons and the

students all had a wonderful

time.

and effort this year.

The 4th grade has learned

to design and test vehicles.

They have raced, modified,

and built some spectacular

models.

On Monday, April 11th, a

Testing Pep rally for the 3rd-

5th graders was held at Will

Rogers Elementary School.

The students started off

walking through the halls

while the lower grades lined

the halls cheering them on

and waving signs and cheer-

ing “Test, Test, do your

best!!! The students started

at the early childhood wing

and they went through the

halls ending in the gym.

Once all of the students

were in the gym the boys

and girls kept the chant go-

ing, cheering along with the

song “We Will Rock You”.

They listened to Kid Presi-

dent and watched funny and

inspirational videos that the

kids loved! Mrs. Dixon

played Eagle Trivia with boys

against girls. The classroom

teachers gave some last

minute advice, but the big-

gest advice they gave to the

students was; “It is just a

test, it doesn’t determine

who you are. It is only one

measure and it is only one

part of your life. The test

does not predict or tell us

what you are like or how

funny you are or what you

will grow up to be. Everyday

from birth up until this point

is a factor in how you will

do.”

The students all enjoyed

the pep rally and left to

start testing motivated to

try their best.

shouldn’t.

Taurus-Your loyalty will be tested in the month ahead. Remem-

ber who your true friends are and stand by them.

Gemini-Your curiosity could cause you major trouble if you don’t

think before you act. Stay on track and let others worry about

themselves.

Libra-Honesty is a great virtue but it is not wise to tell everything

you know. In the month of May you need to watch your words.

Scorpio-You may not want to trust the people around you in May

but you need to relax and trust the ones you love the most to

not steer you wrong.

Sagittarius-May is warming the air around you and love is blos-

soming with the flowers. Let your heart lead the way.

Cancer-Your emotions will be on a rollercoaster as one part of

your life ends and another begins. Hold on and enjoy the ride.

Leo-You’re the leader and that can be a big responsibility. Do

not over analyze every obligation but proceed with caution into

new areas.

Virgo-May will be a very productive month for you. Enjoy the

recognition you will receive.

Capricorn-Your hard work is paying off. Remember to relax and

enjoy the rewards of you labor.

Aquarius-Stop being tolerant of the ones around you that do not

month to start new friendships.

into overdrive and you will want to take care of everyone but

remember to look after yourself also.

Movie Review Aladdin

Starring the Voices of Robin Williams,

Johnathan Freeman, Scott Weigner,

Lea Salonga, Frank Welker,

and Doglas Seale

Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements

A great mystical energy pops out of the lamp that Alad-

din rubbed, expanding to reveal a blue spirit, who looks

like he is stretching, “Oi! Ten-thousand yeeeears will give

you such a crick in the neck!”

That is the line that got me utterly hooked on the

movie. I was somewhere around 6 or 7 when I saw it on

VHS, and Aladdin is still one of my favorite movies to this

day. Aladdin is about a guy, named Aladdin (wow, go fig-

ure), who finds a magical lamp and tries to woo the beau-

tiful, yet stubborn, Princess Jasmine, all while darker forc-

es want to do the same thing, only to take over the Sul-

tan’s Kingdom.

Along the line of Disney movies, this one is proba-

bly in my top 5. I love how they directed it, animated it,

and how the story was so well written. Also, Robin Wil-

liams (Rest in Piece) is a great treasure and I loved him in

the movie. I give it an 8.5 out of 10, because I don’t feel

like it is a straight 10, yet it shouldn’t be demeaned.

5 wins and 10 loses for the

season. The loses were all

very close with in one to two

never lost a game by more

than 2 points.
