DURANT, Okla. – Applications for the Free & Reduced-Price Meal program for the upcoming school year are now available through Choctaw Nation. Families are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure that all eligible students receive the benefits at the start of the school year. “We want to make sure that all students have access to nutritious meals throughout the school day,” said Choctaw Nation Child Nutrition Director Brenda Roberts. More than 250,000 children in Oklahoma are expected to benefit from the program, which provides breakfast and lunch at little or no cost to students from low-income households. “This program is essential for many families,” Roberts said. “It helps reduce the financial burden on parents and ensures that children are well-nourished and ready to learn.” To apply, families can visit the Choctaw Nation website at choctawnation.com/meals or contact the Child Nutrition Department at 800-522-6170. “We encourage all families who may be eligible to apply,” Roberts said. “It’s a simple process, and the benefits are significant for our students.”

These awards celebrate the students' commitment to learning and their ability to convey complex historical narratives effectively.

The Douglas Anderson Symphony Orchestra held a Broadway-themed concert this past weekend to support their upcoming invitation to perform at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago. The concert, titled "Symphony in the City: A Broadway Celebration," featured a selection of beloved show tunes performed by the talented student musicians. The Douglas Anderson School of the Arts is a highly regarded institution within Duval County Public Schools, known for its robust arts programs. The Midwest Clinic is an internationally recognized convention for music educators and performers, and an invitation to perform there is a significant honor for any ensemble. The orchestra hopes to raise funds to help cover travel and accommodation costs for their students and staff for the December event.
