🐾 Wag Walk Champions! 🐾

Our amazing students at Emerson Elementary raised more than $2,000 for the Stephens County Humane Society of Oklahoma! ❤️

Their kindness and hard work earned them the title of Wag Walk Champions, and they celebrated in the best way! The top fundraising classes enjoyed a pizza party, and the whole school got a sweet treat from the Legacy Bank ice cream truck. 🍕🍦

We are so proud of our students for giving back, working together, and showing just how big their hearts are. Way to go, Emerson Elementary! 👏🐶🐱

🥎 Class 5A State Runner-Up — Making History! 🥎

We couldn’t be prouder of our Lady Demons Softball Team! ❤️🖤

This incredible group of student-athletes has put in countless hours of hard work, dedication, and heart both on and off the field. Their journey to the State Championship Game marks a historic milestone for Duncan Softball, as they’ve gone further than any team before them.

While the final score didn’t go our way, the pride we feel for this team and their accomplishments can’t be measured. The support from our community, families, and fans has been incredible, and it’s been inspiring to watch Duncan rally behind these young women.

Congratulations to our Lady Demons. You’ve made history, and you’ve made us all proud!
