Today, we celebrate National Coaches Day by thanking our Anadarko Public School Coaches.
Coaches do more than teach the fundamentals of a sport. They model perseverance, teamwork, and integrity. They shape the character and confidence of the students they lead.
Their investment of time, energy, and heart extends far beyond practice schedules and game days, leaving a lasting impact that reaches well into our classrooms and communities.
To every coach in our district, thank you for the example you set and the countless ways you inspire our student-athletes to grow, learn, and lead. Your work represents the best of who we are - Anadarko Community Strong.

We have been so pleased with all of the pictures of all of the great reading experiences you are having at home with your children. We wanted to take this opportunity to share some more information about the importance of reading aloud to kids. This information and more can be found at https://www.pbs.org/parents/thrive/why-reading-aloud-to-kids-helps-them-thrive.
Reading aloud to kids has clear cognitive benefits. For example, brain scans show that hearing stories strengthens the part of the brain associated with visual imagery, story comprehension, and word meaning. And the landmark Becoming a Nation of Readers report from 1985 concluded that “the single most important activity for building knowledge for their eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.”
But reading also strengthens children’s social, emotional, and character development. According to a recently published study, reading to very young children is linked to decreased levels of aggression, hyperactivity, and attention difficulties. The study’s lead author shared this insight with The New York Times, “When parents read with their children more . . . they learn to use words to describe feelings that are otherwise difficult and this enables them to better control their behavior when they have challenging feelings like anger or sadness.”
