Bulldog Blast

Greetings Bulldogs ~

I hope your week was productive - mine sure was! We squeezed a lot into these past four days... We had an interesting occurrence this week that I want to mention to give some kudos to the faculty and staff here at Memorial. Yesterday, we had a substitute have a medical situation arise while on campus. Now, medical situations arise often when your school is larger than many small towns in Oklahoma. What really struck me about this situation was how our faculty reacted during the event. We had multiple teachers jump into action to assist the substitute. Additionally, the communication between the school and first responders was quick and efficient as I used an app we have on our phones that - once activated - calls first responder, notifies EPS district, and notifies the rest of the admin team in the building. Additionally, we had many teachers who took control of the hallways outside the classroom (which was empty by the way) where the event was taking place. It was incredible to see how smooth of a process this was and the substitute was able to get the medical support they needed in a timely fashion. Why do I tell you this? You trust us with your most prized possessions every single day. When trouble arises and supports are needed, Edmond Memorial High School is REALLY good at taking care of your kids and each other. Yet another reason why this is such a special place to be a part of!

Have a great weekend Memorial and we'll see you next week...

We are truly grateful for the unwavering support you continue to show for our Bulldog community.

At this time, we are looking for volunteers to help with our school’s food pantry, and we would love to have you involved. Even a few hours of your time can make a world of difference for our students and families in need.

If you’re able to lend a hand, please sign up using the following link: Food Pantry Volunteers.

Thank you so much for considering this opportunity to give back and make a positive impact. Your support is truly invaluable!

• When will my student find out if they are eligible to apply for National Honor Society? During the week of February 3rd, an email will be sent to all sophomores and juniors (who are not currently in NHS) with a cumulative weighted minimum GPA of 3.5. The email will invite them to apply with an application attached and a firm deadline of Friday, March 14th @ 4:00pm.
• Will parents also get an email regarding eligibility? Nope... Parents never receive anything directly from NHS regarding whether or not their student has qualified, checked their email, completed the application, and been invited to induction.

** NOTE: We often have a few parents who are upset that they were not aware of this opportunity for their student and that their student missed the deadline. Please know that part of the NHS process for students is having the ability to complete this process on their own.

EPS Foundation is pleased to announce the full endowment of the Ruth Zumwalt Education Scholarship in memory of Ruth Zumwalt, which will be awarded this year. Female seniors at Edmond Public Schools are invited to apply for this $1,000 scholarship by March 1, 2025. Please see attached link. rmd.me/PuMV13j6wed
