The Month of October
The month of October has brought many activities with it here at Wetumka School. Homecoming Week brought a week of fun filled days from 'Merica Monday to the good ole Show Your Spirit Friday. The FFA competed in some livestock judging at the Tulsa Fair, 4th grade attended a fishing clinic and the PreK - Kdg classes went to the pumpkin patch. We are now on Fall Break after a successful Parent-Teacher Conference and looking forward to the continuation of the Book Fair. We will wrap up the month of October with a food drive at the Elementary, National FFA Week, the October Shining Showcase, the Elementary School Fall Fundraiser and Red Ribbon Week. Needless to say, it is a very busy time at Wetumka Public School. We hope you enjoy reading the rest of our newsletter which will give more information on the above mentioned events as well as future newsletters. Thank you for supporting our Chieftain Family!!!

4th Grade Class Attends Fishing Clinic
The Wetumka Elementary 4th graders had the good fortune to attend a fishing clinic sponsored by the Hughes County Conservation District, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, the Holdenville Fish Hatchery and Dale and Robin Jenkins. Students learned about the process of fishing and then had the opportunity to experience it first hand. For some students, this was a first time experience. Our 4th grade students are very thankful for this opportunity and would like to say a big THANK YOU to the sponsors.
FFA and 4-H Members Participate at Tulsa State Fair Livestock Judging
Members of the Wetumka FFA and 4-H attended the Tulsa State Fair Livestock Judging contest on October 6. This has become an annual event for FFA and 4-H members and gives them good practice at honing their skills when it comes to judging livestock. Our 4-H team placed 32nd out of 80 teams and Cory Dodge placed 72nd out of 200 individuals (That's no easy feat). Good Job Cory!!! Wetumka FFA member, Jackson Ray, also won his division with his Angus heifer. Nice Work Jackson!!!
Pre K and Kindergarten Have Pumpkin Patch Fun
Wetumka PreK and KDG classes traveled to the Cornerstone Kids' Ranch in Ada on Oct. 9 to have some fun at the pumpkin patch. Students not only got to pick their own pumpkin but also rode on the train, went to the petting farm, played on the inflatable games as well as many other activities. Although it rained a little, our students were lucky to have the entire place to themselves for part of the day. Lots of fun and memories were shared that day.

Wetumka Elementary Fundraiser
Wetumka Elementary School students will begin their fall fundraiser on Wednesday, October 28. We will be raising money to reward students after spring testing is over. Last year we rented inflatables and classes got to play for a day. We are asking every family to participate. Please sell at least 10 items so we will hit our goal. We are counting on these funds for the benefit of each and every child. We want to expand what we did last year and make even more AWESOME!!! This funding does not come from other sources so your participation is critical. You can even shop online at shopbelieve.com We are selling frozen food as well as Holiday items. Thank you for your help and support.
