While the snow was falling outside, our Horace Mann Elementary, Shawnee, OK students were busy creating a Reading Blizzard of their own!
In December and January, students read an incredible 4,162 stories with Amira! That’s not just impressive; that’s wolf-pack dedication!
🏆 Top Class Award: Mrs. Hopper’s Class
🏆 Top Teacher Award: Mrs. Hopper
As part of their celebration, Mrs. Hopper’s class will foster Spot, Amira’s canine companion, for the entire month of February!
By fostering Spot, they promise to:
✨ Keep him company
✨ Let him watch them learn
✨ Keep him safe
✨ Read with joy so he always feels loved
Each student also received a Spot keychain and sticker to remember their big accomplishment!
We are so proud of every Horace Mann student who helped turn winter weather into a Reading Blizzard!
Way to read, Wolves! 🐺💙

Join us in congratulating Jacque Knight on being named the Shawnee Public Schools Child Nutrition Support Employee of the Year!
Jacque has found a simple, yet powerful, way to bring even more positivity into the cafeteria. Through encouragement, high expectations, and a little sparkle of fun, she’s helping students focus on manners, responsibility, and making great choices each day.
What makes Jacque special isn’t just what she does, it’s why she does it. She genuinely wants to be a positive part of our students’ lives. She understands that a smile, a kind word, or simply noticing a child can make all the difference.
This isn’t just a job for Jacque, it’s a chance to impact kids every single day.
👏 Thank you, Jacque, for the care, energy, and encouragement you bring to our Wolf family!

Join us in congratulating Blanche McVey on being named the Shawnee Public Schools Transportation Support Employee of the Year! Blanche has faithfully served our district for 30 years, a true example of dedication and consistency. She very rarely takes a day off and goes above and beyond in caring for her bus, keeping it clean and welcoming far beyond expectations. But what truly sets Blanche apart is her heart. 💙 She supports her students well beyond the route, attending their games and activities whenever she can, just as faithfully as she shows up for her own grandchildren’s events. For Blanche, it’s never just about transportation, it’s about relationships. 👏 Thank you, Blanche, for three decades of commitment, care, and Wolf pride. Our students are better because of you! #ShawneeStrong #GoWolves

You are trusted voices.
You are steady support.
You are a vital part of our Wolf Pack.
