Congratulations to Bartlesville High School art teacher Ms. Erinn Rakes, our first Kindness in the Classroom recipient of the 2026–27 school year!

Ms. Rakes was nominated by a colleague for creating a welcoming, supportive environment where students feel accepted, encouraged, and valued. Her kindness helps students not only discover their artistic talents but also find their confidence and sense of belonging.

Thanks to our generous sponsor, The Musselman Abstract Company, Ms. Rakes received $200 to benefit her classroom and students.

Congratulations, Ms. Rakes! Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in the lives of BPS students!
