Patriotic Assembly at Pryor Middle School
Today, students had the honor of hearing from two incredible veterans—Tim Lawson and Spanky Gibson—during the middle school Patriotic Assembly. They shared powerful lessons about patriotism, the American flag, and the deep significance of Arlington National Cemetery.
One of the highlights of the day was the announcement of our essay contest winners, who will represent Pryor Middle School in the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C..

Pryor Middle School Students Explore Samurai History at the Philbrook Museum
Earlier this month, Pryor Middle School students in the English Language Arts Enrichment classes traveled to the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa to experience the Samurai Exhibit. Teacher Jessica Henry shared that students were amazed by the intricate details of the Samurai warriors on display — especially the realistic models featuring warriors mounted on horses.
"The armor was amazing, and the way the masks for the horses were made to look like dragons was incredible," Henry said. "Being able to see all of this in person really helped students understand the history of Japan and how the Samurai warriors came to be."
The trip gave students a unique, hands-on connection to the historical and cultural topics they are studying in class, bringing history vividly to life.
Inside the Classroom | Learning in Action
Seniors in Mrs. Hendrickson’s AP Literature and Composition class brought a poetic twist to March Madness!
Students became poets themselves, writing original poems and competing in a classroom poetry bracket. Then, they picked up pen and ink again to analyze their work, highlighting the literary techniques that transform words into lyric art.
Creativity, competition, and critical thinking—all in one lesson! #PryorTigerStrong
