Today was nothing short of magical at our school! ✨
Brain Break Academy stopped by and turned an ordinary day into an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, excitement, and hands-on fun. From interactive magic that had everyone guessing to activities that got our students fully involved, the energy was incredible from start to finish! 🎩🎉
Our kids weren’t just watching—they were part of the show, learning, laughing, and creating memories along the way. Moments like these remind us how powerful fun, engagement, and a little bit of magic can be in the learning process.
A huge thank you to Brain Break Academy for bringing the joy and sparking so many smiles today! 💫

We had a *sweet* surprise today! 🍩✨
Our Pre-K students had so much fun decorating donuts with our friends from Dunkin! From colorful sprinkles to extra frosting (and lots of giggles), creativity was on full display.
Thank you for making our day so special and giving our little learners a hands-on treat they’ll be talking about for days! 💕

COME WATCH OUR AMAZING STUDENT PERFORMANCE.

On Wednesday, fourteen Tonkawa 8th graders attended a Robotics Competition hosted by Cowley College. There were over 30 competitive events, and our four teams were among the almost 50 to attend the competition. The students had a fun and memorable day operating robots, flying drones, solving puzzles, and more. One of our students was overheard saying "this is WAY better than school!" Special thanks to Mrs. Simpson and the members of the school board for supporting this educational trip for these STEM students.










Congrats to our winners placing at State!
Kira Widener, Isabella Bloomfield, and Emily Denny- 2nd place Comic Book Design
Callen Widener, Camilo Ochoa, Kyla Widener, and Karter Carnes- 3rd place Mechanical Engineering

Our 7th graders have been focused on ecology this semester. They recently completed a Biome Poster project. The project is designed to increase their interest in our world while reinforcing content they've learned since January. We have a creative group of students, and they did great work on this assignment.

REMINDER NEXT WEEK IS TESTING FOR TES!!!!
As we approach April, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be taking the Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) assessments. These tests are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and growth. We want to ensure that every child feels confident and prepared for success.
How to Help Your Child Succeed:
Get a Good Night’s Rest – Ensure your child gets at least 8–10 hours of sleep each night before testing days. A well-rested mind helps with focus and performance.
Arrive on Time – Testing will begin promptly in the morning. Being on time allows your child to start the day stress-free and ready to do their best. Breakfast starts at 7:30 and ends at 7:55. Students need to be in their seats at 8:05.
Encouragement Matters – A positive attitude can make a big difference! Encourage your child to take their time, read carefully, and do their very best.
We appreciate your support in making testing days a smooth and successful experience for all students. If your child has appointments these days please see if you can reschedule as it is difficult to make up tests. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 580-628-2592 or email kvincent@tonkawa.k12.ok.us.
Thank you for your partnership in your child’s education!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Vincent
School Counselor/ Building Testing Coordinator
