Miss McPherson’s class had a wonderful time at Laugh Out Loud in Lawton today!








Today, we’re taking a slice out of our day to celebrate the incredible TEACHERS who inspire, lead, and make a difference every single day! School would be imPASTAble without you.
To show our appreciation, we served up a delicious pizza lunch thanks to the generous donation from Napolis in Marlow, and added a little extra gratitude with gift cards from the amazing folks at Dave’s Cave in Duncan.





Thank you to Napoli's, Marlow, for sponsoring our staff lunch for Staff Appreciation Week! We are so thankful for community partners who value our educators! Thank you Napoli's!


Today we got to honor Judy Carroll and her remarkable achievement of retiring after 31 years in education! Mrs. Carroll has spent these last 31 years instilling a love of learning to all students who have had the honor to be in her class. As a staff, she has blessed us in more ways than we could express. Mrs. Carroll has been a pillar of strength at Horace Mann. There is nothing that Mrs. Carroll won’t do or find out to help others in the building! To know Mrs. Carroll is to love her. Congratulations Judy Carroll on retiring! We love and appreciate your dedication to our students and staff more than you know! ❤️

Life Would Be Waffle Without Our Amazing Office Staff!
Today we’re celebrating the friendly faces who keep everything running behind the scenes. From phone calls and paperwork to comforting students and supporting teachers, you do it all with grace, kindness, and a smile. We truly don’t know what we’d do without you!
We treated all staff to a cozy waffle and coffee bar as a small token of our appreciation. A special THANK YOU to The Palace Theater for providing gift certificates to help us celebrate these all-stars in style!

Today at Horace Mann, we are celebrating our incredible cooks and custodians- and We Can’t Taco ‘Bout Them Enough! From serving up hot meals with a smile to keeping our school clean, safe, and running smoothly, you are truly the unsung heroes of our building—and we are so grateful for you! A huge shout-out to Don Jose’s for generously providing a delicious taco bar for lunch and gift cards for some of our amazing staff!





Fourth grade says thank you for the ice cream!


We had a blast celebrating our students’ awesome attendance during state testing with Ice Cream Achievement Day!

A special shout out to Legacy Bank for sponsoring this fun event—we’re so grateful for your support in making this day extra sweet for our students!

It’s Staff Appreciation Week at Horace Mann!
Today, we’re celebrating the heart and backbone of our school—our amazing support staff! We DONUT know what we’d do without you! We are beyond grateful for all that you do.
A huge THANK YOU to Daylight Donuts of Duncan for treating our team to fresh donuts, and to Simply Nutrition for generously donating gift cards to help us show our appreciation in a sweet (and healthy) way!







First grade had three more students pass their full sight word rainbow! We are so proud of these students continued hard work!



Miss Hale’s class finished their three-week animal research project. Students began by selecting an animal to study, then conducted research, wrote rough drafts, made revisions, and produced polished final drafts. As a creative extension, each student also created a detailed drawing of their chosen animal. To finish the project, the class took a field trip to the OKC Zoo, where they had the exciting opportunity to see the animals they had studied up close.









These first graders completed their April Reading BINGO Challenge. Great work on becoming better readers. Your teachers are so proud of you! 📚
