GPS would like to thank Dr. Charla Lewis-Ferry and the OPSU Department of Music. Dr. Lewis-Ferry wrote a grant for the Oklahoma Panhandle that provided band directors with opportunities to come together for continuing education and collaboration. Our Band Directors put together a long wish list of music we needed/wanted for our North Park, Junior High and High School programs. Our bands received all the music requested! Thank you, Dr. Lewis-Ferry and Oklahoma Panhandle State University. This will go a long way in providing music for our Bands for years to come.

A Cheesy Math Proof
Students in Mrs. Joy’s 8th grade Pre Algebra class used Cheez-It crackers to model the Pythagorean Theorem. They found that the number of Cheez-its needed to
cover the area of square C was the same as the number needed to
cover the areas of squares a and b combined. So, the square of the
hypotenuse was equal to the sum of the squares of both legs. Thank you to those who helped purchase the cheez-its!
