Childers Middle School PTA

Hello Childers families!

As the school year begins to wind down, we can’t help but reflect on what an incredible few weeks it has been for our school community. From the dedication of our families to the heart our students and staff bring each day, Childers truly is a special place—and we are so grateful to be part of it!

Last Tuesday, our board had the honor of attending a luncheon hosted by the Broken Arrow PTA Council. We are beyond proud to share that Childers was recognized as the Secondary PTA Unit of the Year! This award is a reflection of the amazing support, time, and generosity poured into our school by so many of you. It truly takes a village, and ours is simply the best!

We are also thrilled to celebrate our very own Mrs. Davis, who was named Principal of the Year! Her leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our students and staff make a difference every single day. She leads with heart, inspires excellence, and creates a school environment where everyone feels valued and supported. We are so lucky to have her leading the way at Childers!

Thank you, Childers families, for being such an important part of what makes our school so extraordinary. We can’t wait to share more highlights with you soon!

Day 5 and the GRAND FINALE of Teacher Appreciation Week was all about the TOPPINGS because we think "YOU’RE THE TOPS!” 🏆🥔🍑

We started the morning with a yogurt parfait bar loaded with all the toppings, plus bagels and cream cheese toppings generously provided by the same amazing Childers family who donated donuts on Thursday. Your continued support means so much to us!

Lunch was a delicious baked potato bar from Texas Roadhouse provided by Heather Bryson - Country Financial. THANK YOU so much for helping us spoil our teachers! Ron’s Hamburgers and Chili Broken Arrow also pitched in with a pot of their famous chili to top those potatoes, and it was a huge hit!

For dessert, Charlie's Chicken South BA donated peach and apple cobblers and, of course, we added ice cream and all the toppings to make it extra sweet. 🍨

To top off this incredible week, the PTA treated our staff to Sonic drinks thanks to Sonic Drive-In for providing them at a deeply discounted rate.

We also wrapped up the week by giving away over 25 amazing door prizes to our staff, and every single staff member received a special goody bag that included a custom Childers Middle School blanket. 🧺💙 Nothing says appreciation quite like cozy school spirit!

What a wonderful week celebrating the incredible teachers and staff at Childers! We are beyond grateful to every family, business, volunteer, and community partner who helped make this week feel like a five-day celebration parade for our amazing educators. 💙💛

Day 4 of Teacher Appreciation Week was “ALL THAT and a BAG OF CHIPS!” 🎉🥔

We started the morning with a delicious biscuit and gravy bar generously provided by one of our amazing Childers grandparents. A wonderful Childers family also donated Entenmann’s donuts for breakfast, and teachers can look forward to seeing more from them tomorrow! 🍩

For lunch, teachers enjoyed a fun Nacho Bar complete with festive Mexican sodas and cupcakes from Not Your Grandma's Cupcakes.

As if the day couldn’t get any better, we also received a surprise delivery of kettle corn from Ma & Pa Kettle Corn🍿

Thank you to everyone who helped make today so special for our teachers. We are loving every moment of celebrating the people who make Childers such an amazing place! ❤️💙

Day 3 of Teacher Appreciation blasted off in the best way possible 🚀✨

Our “OUT OF THIS WORLD” theme delivered from sunrise to sweet tooth! We kicked things off with a hearty pancake breakfast complete with bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, and all the toppings—because our teachers deserve the full galaxy, not just the stars.

Lunch kept the momentum going with a delicious pasta bar featuring chicken, “Meteor-balls,” and homemade sauces crafted by one of our amazing PTA board members. The PTA added those famous Olive Garden breadsticks, and Cicis Pizzagenerously donated a huge salad—complete with the GOOD ranch (you know the one 😉).

And just when we thought it couldn’t get better… dessert arrived in the form of the most incredible COSMIC BROWNIE COOKIES, homemade by another talented board member. Absolute perfection!

We wrapped up the day with a traveling Galaxy Snack Cart—rolling through the halls like a comet—loaded with goodies like Starburst, Moon Pies, Star Crunch, Orbit gum, and so much more. 🌙

Thank you to everyone who donated money, food/snack items and purchased iced coffees. Those funds are what made today so special for our teachers. We're having a stellar week celebrating a truly amazing staff! 🌟

Today’s theme was “You’re the Cat’s Pajamas!” 🐾

Teachers and students came to school in their coziest jammies and kicked off the day with a fun cereal bar breakfast. Lunch was a treat with Chick-fil-A sandwiches, pasta salad, and fresh fruit salad—followed by Crumbl cookies for a sweet finish!

Chick-fil-A and Crumbl were generously donated by Chick-fil-A Creek Turnpike & Aspen Ave. and Crumbl Cookies - Broken Arrow, and all other items were made possible thanks to our amazing parent donations. 💛

To keep the energy going, everyone enjoyed a “meow mix” snack bar for an afternoon pick-me-up. It was a purr-fect day celebrating our incredible teachers! 🐱✨

We kicked off Teacher Appreciation Week by letting our teachers know they’re the BEE'S KNEES! 🐝💛

They enjoyed a sweet start to the day with “bee-rritos” for breakfast from Jason’s Deli (thanks to generous parent donations) and some delicious “bee-bee Q” provided by Mrs. Davis’ amazing parents!

We are so grateful for our incredible teachers and all the joy they bring to our school! 🍯✨
