The Class of 2024 Senior Boys participated in the Annual BBQ hosted by Ameristate Bank. Marci Bond welcomed the gentlemen and Clay Edwards entertained with singing while they ate. The guest speaker was Trent Smith, he played football at the University of Oklahoma and for the Baltimore Ravens as well as the San Franciso 49ers. He spoke about "time." Time goes by quickly and you are never guaranteed how much time you have. Spend it wisely and with people who you value and on things that are important to you. Thank you Ameristate Bank for the hospitality, entertainment, and hosting this year's Senior BBQ.

The Pioneer Club President, Mrs. Kathy Moore welcomed the ladies with 3 words of wisdom, FAIL, which stood for First Attempt In Learning, END- Effort Never Dies, and NO- New Opportunities. We enjoyed the guest speaker Susie McEntire-Eaton. She encouraged the girls to not let life's defeats get you down but how to take advantage of each situation and learn from them. We also enjoyed tea sandwiches and cookies provided by the club. Thank you Atoka Pioneer Club for hosting this year's Senior Tea.

On Wednesday, March 14th a group of seniors took a trip to KTEN Studios and was given a tour from News director Brandon Agans to get a little behind the scenes. Seniors learned the amazing amount of work put into making sure people get to watch the news. They had the opportunity to sit through their midday show and experience the news in person from either the control room or the news studio! Thank you KTEN.
