Broken Bow Schools

🍎Hi my name is Amber Beck and I am so proud to be back at Broken Bow Public Schools—as we say, “Once a Savage, always a Savage!” This will be my 13th year in education. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching third through sixth grade, this year I am excited to be teaching fourth grade math at Bennett Elementary. I’m looking forward to an amazing year!

BEHIND THE SCENES: “I loved seeing my students playing Uno the last 10 minutes of class time today vs having their head down on their phone,” said Mrs. Skelton.

🌳 Forestry Class in Action! 🌳 Our students are gaining hands-on experience in the field! Today, they learned how to set up the transit and take accurate readings using a Philadelphia rod. These skills are a key part of surveying, and our students are building both knowledge and confidence through real-world practice. 📏🌲 Proud of their hard work and dedication! #builtontraditionboundforgreatness

💪📚 Huge shoutout to our incredible maintenance crew! Today they went above and beyond installing Bennett Elementary’s brand-new Book Vending Machine! 🙌 Their hard work doesn’t just keep our buildings running—it helps create exciting opportunities for our students. Thank you for always supporting our schools in such meaningful ways! #TeamBennett #ThankYouMaintenance #BookVendingMachine

🌟 A BENNETT Shoutout to our amazing school counselor! We are so thankful for the way Mrs. Barnett goes above and beyond to stay connected with students.

🖊️Hello Broken Bow! I’m Vanessa Wendt, and I’m pleased to introduce myself to you. After 31 wonderful years of marriage to my husband, Terry, we’re proud parents of three grown children, two fantastic in-laws, and four delightful grandchildren. Our family includes our son Ben and his wife Jada, along with their daughter Brielle; our daughter Abigail (or "Abi"); and our daughter Rebekah, her partner Greg, and their son Madden, affectionately known as "Louie," who is our bonus grandchild. Having spent 22 years as a nurse, I’ve decided to shift my career path to spend more quality time with my family. I have a passion for travel and love creating memories with my grandkids (and their parents, too—always a good time!). I’m excited to share that I’ve taken on the role of Secretary at Broken Bow High School. I can’t wait to be a part of the incredible Savage family!

🥎Savage Softball (2-0) is off to a great start to the new season with a pair of important district wins at home earlier this week against Muldrow and Stigler. This weekend, we take this show on the road to face off against the always tough competition at the Broken Arrow Softball Festival. The action begins at 6PM tonight against Sand Springs, followed by a tilt with Miami at 7:40. Saturday's schedule has the Savages playing against host Broken Arrow at 10:40AM and at 2PM against Norman North. All game times are subject to change. #GoSavages

🍎Hello 👋🏼 My name is Lacey Tolison and I’m the new Indian Art and Animation teacher. I’m so excited to bring my passion for art into the classroom and help students explore their creativity in new and exciting ways. This will be my first year teaching, and I can’t wait to grow and learn alongside my students. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Oklahoma Christian University with a focus in gaming and animation. My background blends traditional art techniques with digital design and I’m excited to help students build confidence in both areas. When I’m not teaching, I’m usually spending time with my husband and our son. I love playing video games, reading a good book, and working in my garden. I believe art can be found in every part of life and I hope to inspire students to see the beauty in their own ideas and experiences.

See you soon!
