Our 8th grade students attended the Career Quest at the Kiamichi Technology Center in Poteau where they had the opportunity to visit over 35 different career booths. This was a great opportunity for our kids to learn about the different educational and career paths that they can take in our surrounding area.

🍂🐺 November-Word of the Month- GRATITUDE 🐺🍂
This November, our Heavener Elementary Wolves are focusing on GRATITUDE — being thankful and appreciating the people and opportunities around you. 💜💛
Gratitude is more than saying “thank you.” It’s noticing the good around us and taking time to appreciate the people who help us, the opportunities we are given, and the little things that make each day special.
Throughout the month, we encourage our Wolves to:
🍁 Appreciate the people who support and encourage them
🍁 Be thankful for opportunities to learn, grow, and try new things
🍁 Look for the good in each day
🍁 Show appreciation through kind words and actions
🐾 Wolves Lead with Gratitude!

❤️ Red Ribbon Week Day 5: What Is 988? ❤️
As we wrap up Red Ribbon Week, we're reminding our Wolves and their families that asking for help is a sign of strength, and no one has to face life's challenges alone.
📱 What is 988?
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a free, confidential resource available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for anyone experiencing emotional distress, mental health challenges, suicidal thoughts, or a substance use crisis.
❤️ Call or text 988 to connect with a trained crisis counselor. You can also visit 988lifeline.org to chat online.
🏠 Today's Family Connection: We're sharing information about 988 and encouraging families to talk with their children and teens about mental health, recognizing when someone needs help, and the importance of reaching out to a trusted adult. https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/OKDMHSAS/2025/09/25/file_attachments/3399745/988_0124_WhatIs988.pdf

❤️ Red Ribbon Week Day 4: Fentanyl Awareness Saves Lives! ❤️
Today's Red Ribbon Week focus is on an important and potentially lifesaving topic—fentanyl awareness.
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that can be deadly, even in very small amounts. Counterfeit pills and other illegal drugs may contain fentanyl without the person taking them knowing it.
🏠 Today's Family Connection: We're sharing a Fentanyl Fact Sheet to help families better understand the dangers of fentanyl and encourage important conversations with their children and teens. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xYxz21fCWykMaq5E_B7MRX6BN0BPsRpU/view
❤️ Did you know? Oklahoma's Rain's Law emphasizes fentanyl awareness and prevention education in our schools, helping equip students with the knowledge they need to recognize risks and make informed decisions.
🐺 At Heavener Public Schools, we believe education and awareness are powerful tools in prevention. We encourage all families to review today's fact sheet together, ask questions, and keep the conversation going at home.
One conversation could save a life. ❤️

❤️ Red Ribbon Week Day 3: Keep the Conversation Going! ❤️
Talking with your teen about drugs, peer pressure, and healthy choices doesn't have to be difficult or uncomfortable. Sometimes, the best conversations happen during everyday moments—on the drive home, around the dinner table, or while spending time together.
🏠 Today's Family Connection: We're sharing conversation tips and starter ideas to help parents and caregivers open the door to meaningful discussions with their teens.
💬 Remember, it's not about having one big conversation. It's about creating opportunities for ongoing, honest communication where your teen feels comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and knowing they can turn to you for support.
🐺 Check out today's flyer and try starting a conversation at home!
https://www.cdc.gov/free-mind/media/pdfs/Parents-Conversation-Starter_508c.pdf
A few minutes of connection today can help our Wolves make confident, healthy choices tomorrow.
