Verdigris junior, Madison Whitekiller, was crowned the 2015-16 Junior Miss Cherokee at the 24th Annual Junior Miss Cherokee Competition. For the next year, Madison will act as a goodwill ambassador for the tribe, promoting the government, language, history and traditions of the Cherokee people. Congratulations Madison!
Beginning Monday, September 21, 2015
- The old Bus #5 route, now #23, will no longer “Double Route” in the afternoon.
- Elementary children will arrive at home about 10 minutes earlier.
- JH and HS students will arrive home slightly later as the first part of the Double Route is eliminated.
- This change WILL NOT affect morning route times.
Bus #5 is a relatively new bus, and will replace the bus used on Route #14. Bus #14 route will not change in any way. Just the bus and the route number will change to #5.
This replacement will save time, miles and therefore money. Please use this notice as an opportunity to make new childcare arrangements if needed.
For any questions regarding the issue, please contact your building principal.
Thank you for your support,
Gary Kennemer
Transportation Director
