Reminder-only juniors and seniors will be allowed inside the prom venue after prom walk - so get your pre-prom pics done beforehand. Professional photographer pictures from inside the prom will be available as soon as the junior sponsors receive them.

Out of an abundance of caution we will be running buses early today at 2:15 to avoid potential severe weather. The office is contacting bus riders parents to make sure an adult is home when they arrive. Other students can be picked up early if parents choose. Track buses are leaving Waynoka now. In the event, that there is severe weather the school safe room will be open.

What an amazing experience for the Medford Cardinal Football Team! The team along with coaches and administrators were invited to the Capitol to be recognized for their 2024 and 2025 State Academic Championships. It was also noted that this group of young men were the 2025 Class C State-Runner Up. A huge Thank you to Senator Roland Pederson and Representative John Pfeiffer for hosting us and Marshall Reigh for facilitating this opportunity for our student athletes!

State testing begins next week for grades 3-8. The schedule for both weeks is attached.

Help your student feel confident and ready by:

✔️ Getting a good night’s sleep
✔️ Eating a healthy breakfast
✔️ Arriving to school on time
✔️ Encouraging them to do their best

We are proud of and appreciate all of our students and the immeasurable skills and traits that don't show on standardized testing. We look forward to our students showcasing their abilities each and every day!

Eleven more readers earned lunch with Mrs. Gottsch today. They are setting goals and making it happen!

We are incredibly grateful and excited to announce that our school has been awarded a generous grant to provide over 2000 lbs of locally sourced beef for our students! 🥩🎉

This opportunity allows us to serve fresh, high-quality meals while supporting the hardworking ranchers and farmers. By choosing to apply for this grant, we are not only nourishing our students with wholesome food but also strengthening the economy and promoting sustainable practices.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Boedeker Farms from Waukomis, Ok. And everyone who made this possible. Your support is making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and our community. We are proud to serve meals that reflect both quality and local pride!

Thanks!
Medford Cafeteria Ladies

Medford FFA students have been busy the past few weeks preparing for and competing in speech contests! We wrapped up the season at the Northwest Regional Speech Contest, where students showcased the hard work they’ve put into sharpening their public speaking skills throughout the semester. Joshua Forsyth, Mason Drees, and Jerica Brittain competed in the Extemporaneous Speaking division. Jaylea Elson and Carter Junghanns represented Medford FFA in the FFA Creed speaking division. Great job to all of our students for their dedication and growth this speech season!
