We are proud to announce that Milburn Public Schools has been awarded a $5,000 Dollar General Youth Literacy Grant. This is a nationwide competitive grant, and Milburn was one of only 21 schools in the state of Oklahoma selected to receive funding. Our “Strong Classrooms, Stronger Readers,” grant is designed to strengthen literacy instruction and provide additional support for students across grades K–12. The program focuses on targeted reading instruction while also giving our teachers additional tools, training, and resources to build literacy-rich classrooms. How will the $5,000 be invested in our students? $2,000 – Instructional Materials: Phonics kits, comprehension tools, manipulatives, and other literacy resources that can be used for small-group and individualized reading instruction. $1,800 – Books: Leveled readers, guided-reading sets, and a wider variety of texts to give students more opportunities to practice at their instructional level, build fluency, and strengthen comprehension. $1,200 – Teacher Professional Development: Training, workshops, and instructional resources focused on evidence-based literacy strategies, small-group instruction, differentiation, and interventions for struggling readers. The goal goes beyond simply purchasing new books and materials. Strong Classrooms, Stronger Readers will combine targeted student instruction, teacher development, and ongoing assessment to help us identify reading gaps and provide students with the support they need to grow. We are proud to continue pursuing opportunities that bring additional resources directly into our classrooms. A special thank you to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for investing in our students, our teachers, and the future of Milburn Public Schools.

As we walk down the hallways this morning, every classroom we pass is observing 9/11. Not because they have to, but because it is the right thing to do. Some are watching them read the names, some are watching old new clips , others are simply have group discussion.
Please join us in solemn solidarity on this 25th Anniversary as we remember the attacks on September 11, 2001.
"We will never forget."
