Shout out to the Oklahoma City Thunder for donating tickets to our Walking School Bus students to celebrate their attendance! 🏀🧡

Our Burroughs & Tisdale students earned it with 90% and higher attendance first quarter. We pre-gamed at Thunder UP on the Green, then caught the OKC Thunder’s annual Tulsa preseason game at BOK Center. ⚡️ Huge thanks to the students and families who keep showing up. 🎉🧡

Good morning from Jerry, G, and the Walking School Bus! ☀️ We’re so proud of little Jerry this morning for joining Walking School Bus for the first time. It’s been a hard transition for him starting school (Pre-K) this year and being away from Mom, but Mom & our team have taken baby steps to get to this day. He even made a friend with little Azzy! 🧡

Meet G. 🧡

We’re thrilled to welcome our new Community Partnerships Manager to the Met Cares team. G comes to us with a track record of building programs from the ground up, connecting communities to resources, and making data tell a human story. They’ve supervised community engagement teams at the Tulsa Health Department, coordinated youth health programs across four TPS high schools, and served as a freelance correspondent for KOSU’s Focus: Black Oklahoma.

G will be developing and managing the partnerships that make sure our Tisdale and Burroughs families have what they need to thrive. We’re so glad you’re here, G. 🎉
